Author of Almost Surely Dead (out 2/2024 by Mindy’s Book Studio), Kismet, and #FashionVictim. Skincare junkie. I live in a forest surrounded by animals. I’m obsessed with my dog.
I gotta go to the neuro hospital in Phx later this week (just more tests) and I always like to see what’s nearby in case I want to grab a snack or do some shopping and oh. Oh no thank you

Looking for your next hot read and love White Lotus? The @Nytimes has you covered! They recommend KISMET (yes my KISMET, full of gross smoothies and bodies in the desert and talking ravens) so go pick it up

You know what you don’t want to find between your screen and the window at night? Spider eggs, hatching.

Y’all very exciting news: my one year old orchid IS BLOOMING! I have kept it alive and it’s thriving! How?? I don’t know. Its sister plant needs time to bloom still.

On the bright side of having nausea and being on meds that make me food averse: my cheek bones are ready for the spotlight I guess

I’m tired of living in a magical land of snow and ice, aka Arizona

Just a coyote hanging out

Bean is wondering why no one is petting her. (Ignore the clothing chair behind her that makes her fur look larger 😂)

Here you go 🤣

Me: I’m not a fashion girl anymore!
Also me: throws in designer boots and a cape when it snows 🤷🏽‍♀️

Everything is terrible etc but the stars are still stunning

She’s outraged I’ve not managed to make it second-dinner time. 20 more minutes, Bean.

It’s a little dry out

Bean says hi
February 26, 2025 at 8:37 PM
My fault, I’ve been dead. She’s snoozing very loudly next to me. Here’s a pic of her hiding at the vet

We ran out of birdseed. These moochers (they steal the birdseed) aren’t pleased

Did a zoom so here’s proof of life

Just a coyote sitting on my patio, staring off looking majestic, all while it rains

Every night Bean tries to lick the skin off my arm—it’s the lotion. I have to let her or she’ll sneak attack me all night. After I get her to stop, she invariably sneaks an elbow lick. Such a little weirdo. I love her.

My win today besides my orchid looking like it’s gonna grow some flowers is that I bitched so much to our trash co about our missing trash container (it’s been weeks) that they gave us a free month of trash pickup.

That’s all I got.
