If you could summarize me in one photo, this is it:

*survey photo in borrowed waders. They were so big!
I apparently bought a spongy moth (Lymantria dispar) cross stitch pattern last night. Mass trapping for Spongy Moth is one of my program’s biggest trapping projects.

I regret nothing.

(Spongy Moth was formerly named G*psy Moth, but the name was changed away from the derogatory slur in 2022)

Making progress on my lady bug cross stitch project! This one is taking a while.

I went from reading an intense “eat the rich” horror novel to starting a halfling & goblin cozy fantasy novel.

I like to mix it up. ;)

I HIGHLY recommend Guillotine!

My partner is away until Tuesday.
My kid goes to my ex-wife’s house for the week on Sunday.
It’s going to be SO quiet!

Time for more audiobooks and cross stitch. :)

New Comic Book Day!!!
Some of these covers are STUNNING!

My downstairs neighbors smoke SO much weed, and my apartment absolutely reeks today.
It’s turning my stomach.

This is one reason I prefer edibles occasionally over smoking. I haaaaaaaate the smell. :(

I haven’t gone to spin class in 2 weeks because of work. Either I’ve been working late or I’m too exhausted by the time I’m off.

I NEED to go this weekend for my mental health…it definitely helps me.

It was confirmed today that a coworker of mine, a genuinely kind woman that I admire greatly, has cancer. She starts chemotherapy in two weeks.
I’m torn up inside.
It’s so damn cruel and unfair for someone so lovely to have to face such a monster. :(

I saw a bumblebee today and it about broke my heart.
Noooooooo! I know it’s warm out but this is false spring! It’s not time to wake up yet.

We never got a winter this year. I think wildfire season it going to be BAD this summer….

I had a couple people ask about my Druid sickle on Imbolc so I want to share.

Its name is Fennatir, and it was 100% custom designed and forged to my exact specifications. It’s perfect.

Fennatir = “gate watcher/keeper” in Tolkien Quenya

I commissioned it from: www.omegaartworks.com

It’s really hard to be a SA survivor right now. The Files are everywhere (for very important reasons) but my desire to stay informed and my biological responses to deep trauma are at war.
I could really do without the nightly flashback nightmares…

If you aren’t disgusted and mad, you should be.

I filled my taxes this morning.
I’m SO glad I have been paying extra into my state and federal taxes each pay period because my return will be a big help with car maintenance and paying off my Disneyland credit card balances.
Yay, responsible (but boring) choices….

I’m listening to a book about an evil scarecrow god/entity and the small town religious cult centered around him. I’m struggling so hard to get through it. Not because it’s bad, but because it’s February…

I’ve signed up to do an amphibian egg mass survey later this month with the Wetland Conservancy again! This will be my 6th year!
I can’t wait to put on those chest waders and get out into the cold, marshy, winter waters, to look for salamanders and frogs!

The highlight of my past few weeks was an Imbolc ritual yesterday focused on the goddess Brigid and community healing. I got to let out some big emotions, surrounded by my supportive community, and I really needed that. 🕯️

Happy Imbolc!!!!!

I really need to improve my chopsticks skills. My attempt with Pho tonight was embarrassing at best. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I’d blame my very racist anti-cultural foods family growing up, but I’m 40 now and I left them behind 20 years ago. I really have no excuse.

I have had 20 years to practice.
Time to try harder!

😂 I woke up early to get an early start on the apple maggot grant submission and the server is down, of course.
The deadline is at noon.

I can’t help but laugh. I have all the data, I just need to copy/paste it in.

It’s the ONLY thing I have to do today( I postponed other plans), then strike!

In the past 3 days I have folded 150 little booklets without getting any paper cuts!

+10 points to crafting

Today:
- 4-hr meeting on Spongy Moth response in the West.
- 7 phone screen interviews
- A grant submission for an invasive insect survey of olive trees

Tomorrow:
- A staff member check-in
- 2 more interviews
- Another grant: this one for an apple maggot survey.

What a long week. Nap time?

People who schedule 4-hour meetings starting at 8 AM, are cruel.

How about 9am? 8:15? At least give me time to get my tech set up before putting me on camera and forcing me to talk.

I never schedule anything before 8:15 (at the absolute earliest)

I’m officially in the “upper circle” for program updates at work.
Not having a manager has bumped me up to a new level of communications. My director speaks freely and vents with me about everything now. It’s stressful, but I’m thankful.

I now know where my old manager’s gray hairs came from lol
