Today’s Not-Terrible Thing -

My neighbors. We’re always trying to out-kind each other. Baked goods, beehive honey, peace cranes & HM jam get delivered randomly. Sidewalks, magically shoveled. And last wknd we hung out in the snow having hot drinks together just because we can. So not terrible.

Today’s Not-Terrible thing - Without being asked, my almost 13-year-old fed/gave medicine to the cats, made me tea, and brought the goodies to me and our elderly-est of kitties in bed. Definitely a Not-Terrible way to start this beautiful snowy day.

Let’s not crumple in despair, friends. Onwards!

Hi! It’s me, your friendly internet introvert. I’ve had a hard time posting since Nov b/c of …(waves arms around wildly)… all of this. Our timelines already have enough terrible stuff, so I’ve decided to use this space to post “Not-Terrible” things for the time being. (See next post...)

Hey new community! Excited to see so many new & old friends on here!

A little about me - I'm a sunny person who likes gothy things. Kindness is my religion. I say hi to every dog & cat I see. Currently in Montana.

Here's what I've been working on recently (pic from my website). Nice to meet you!

Let’s go!!!! 💓

My boy drew this for me a few years ago, and every time I look at it (on the fridge - hence the stains and general grubbiness), it makes me smile. He knows me so well. 🤣😻

YES! Best time of the year commencing!

Goodbye, mean light that wakes me at 5 & keeps my child up till 11!
Goodbye, aggressive brightness that keeps me from my yard & porch all day!
Goodbye, sweat & bugs!

I may be part-vampire (& an #unpopularopinionhaver), but I don't care. Yay!

Had a full circle moment taking my tween to a Ziggy Marley show, whom I saw as a teen with my folks, as well. Happy to report that the reggae-concert-attending-with-mom experience is just as faux-mortifying-yet-secretly-enjoyable for this generation as it was for mine. 😆

Oh, hello beautiful! What a surprise! I missed you all winter. So nice of you to pay a visit in … (checks calendar) … the end of May. 🙄💐❄️

(Speaking to my fickle friend, Snow, in case that’s not clear. She can be so silly.)

Me waiting up to see the Northern Lights every time they've been predicted where I live: nothing happens.

Me going to bed last night at midnight only to get this photo from a neighbor at 1:20 am -

Sigh.

Full moon over Missoula on the drive to school today.

November’s not the flashiest month, but there’s something about it that I find so beautiful.
