I’m working on this new crochet project for my 9 year old. He wants the potato from Plants vs Zombies.

I keep telling myself “trust the process”. Trouble is I’m making this up as I go along and I’m not sure trusting the process counts in this situation. Oh well at least it looks somewhat potatoey.

Finally finished my first basket! It is huge, but should work for my yarn. If you see ends I haven’t woven in, no you didn’t. Those were woven in after the picture was taken. Now I have to move on to something else! Yay, but also boo!

Working on a scholarship essay (purposely blurred). The only way I can make my handwriting somewhat legible is to write small. Now I have to read it to type it up. Tried a shortcut through my camera but got this: “ITs a feeling of in is baler whe then arenoreflatosal dresal in korks and audia.” 😂

We had such an amazing launch party and later a great reading at Western Sky Books. I’m so happy to have been a part of this wonderful book. I hope that it helps other moms with postpartum depression. I can’t wait to see it on shelves everywhere!

Working on my basket while the kids are in tutoring. I’m going to be finishing it soon. Still need to create the handles.

I did not get a chance to finish my makeup for tonight before taking the kids to their tutoring. 14 year old made a big deal about saying how unprofessional my makeup is. The makeup in question.

I’m going to a book signing tonight. If I can’t be myself there when can I?

Working on a basket now. It’s getting pretty hard. I’m having to count more than 10 at this point. Please send help!

Pencil pouch for teen finished. I had such a bad cold while doing this which made the logo take extra long. I could have done a better job but also I’m tired.

Got my coffee this morning. It either has almond milk in it or it’s telling me it can think. Either way I’m drinking it.

Finished it! Got it done last night. Are there things I wish I had done differently? Yep. Still done. Embroidered his name on it today. He’s really happy with his pencil case.

Project started. Been too fatigued to work on it sooner. Let’s see if I can finish this project today. Fingers crossed! #crochet

I can not wait to see this book in person. The story I wrote for this anthology was both painful and cathartic to write. Thank you so much @christinamyers.bsky.social and Oga Nwobosi for selecting my story for Beyond Blue! And thank you @caitlinpress.bsky.social

Pepper is not looking great this week. She had a traumatizing time at the vet's office. She wont drink water on her own. My brother & mom are very thankful for all of the donations so far. I wish I could donate more myself. If you have some extra money please donate

Super hot so this is tonight’s supper. I’m hoping it’s really good because it would be great to have another meal that doesn’t require the oven or stovetop.

Pepper's health is declining. She's losing weight and not eating much. Please help my brother keep his cat alive!

Pepper is starting to lose weight. She’s gone down from 7.6 pounds to 7 pounds. Her continuing care is very expensive. My brother and mom will put Pepper’s care above their own needs. If there is any time to donate it’s now! www.gofundme.com/f/help-peppe... #catlover #sickcat

Pepper went missing today for hours. It was really stressful. She was found safe, but it was really scary. For more story click the link below.

Pepper's frequent vet trips are costing a lot. Even donating $5 is huge. Sharing also helps! 💜

I've not been well, so kitty updates are slow. Pepper is doing so much better! She's on antibiotics now, and is able to drink water on her own. 😸 My mom and brother can give Pepper food via syringe. She has a tumor on her kidney, and needs your support! www.gofundme.com/f/help-peppe... #catlovers

This is apparently the hard hitting things that Change .org sends to me now that I’ve signed a few petitions. I mean usually sign human rights things and nothing else. People are dying but yes I want jelly donuts.

Note: I did sign for the jelly donuts. It’s important to my spouse. 😂

Blood tests results for Pepper's kidneys are in. Other than size: Nothing is wrong with her kidneys. She's still sick. For more blood testing my brother needs a lot more funds. Pepper is getting fluids & meds for eating, but help is needed for diagnosis & treatment! www.gofundme.com/f/help-peppe...

I was prepared for the worst when my brother posted a bleak post about Pepper on Facebook. She is not eating or drinking right now, but she went in today to get fluids and medication to encourage her to eat. Pepper is struggling, but she's a fighter. You can help Pepper here:

Update on Pepper! I’m going to try to update every few days (if not more) so everyone knows what’s happening with her care. She’s not liking people right now. Same, Pepper, same.

This is one of my favorite photos of Pepper. Jacob, my brother says she’s flying. Pepper did audition to be Krypto in the new Superman movie. She was fast enough, but was told, “she isn’t a dog.” I guess that’s a matter of opinion.

Here is the fundraiser for her care: gofund.me/6b3dc2f3

Pepper needs your help! My brother Jacob has a sweet cat named Pepper and she's very sick. One vet says cancer and another isn't sure. She has problems with her kidneys and she's having trouble eating. I'm trying to donate as much as I can, but I can't cover it all. Please help!

This is where I’m going to leave it today. I’m hoping to get a small computer desk in here. I still need to clean up my cluttered table. The clutter on the shelf around the room might get dusted but I’m not moving much if anything.
