Blue dot in a red hat pond, PNW. Recently single, full of anxiety, sallying forward with my Butter Knife Of Doom. I like frogs & other animals. Saver of spiders and tired bees, bad plant mom, and bleeding heart. Just trying to get through the day.
It’s Saturday again. I’ve been up since 4:45am, it is now 12:20pm. Dishes done, cleaned up my chilling space, did a cathartic craft, and now I’m off to bake a whole packet of bacon. Feeling ok today, despite the cold and overcast sky. At least there isn’t rain or snow. Have the day you deserve.

Favorite gift of the season so far. Lighter for scale. Now to decide how to use them.

Yesterday was a hard day. No specific reason, but all the reasons at the same time. The string of grey and rainy days, the lack of companionship, and self doubt all culminated in miserable me. Hoping today I can find the little rainbows and at least get to a neutral state. Depression sucks.

Posting a little late. Penelope Spike update! Here she is at day 13 of life on her own. Her little root buds are too cute 🥰. I’ve since cleaned off the dead leaves. She is doing so good!

It’s 3:26 am and here I am, wide awake and telling my brain to shut up and leave me alone. Weekend not off to a great start.

I really need to get better at finding pleasure in being alive and simply existing, rather than constantly thinking "If I can just get through this ordeal..." and "If I can just get past that deadline..." Then what? The next ordeal or deadline, and repeat, until death?

I sit in my dimly lit alone space in contemplation, enjoying the quiet of an early Sunday morning. Suddenly I hear a passing car, with bass bumping, break the silence. I wonder who blasts bass heavy music at 7am on a Sunday, what’s wrong with them? Realizing, wow I got old. Darn kids.

I did not make or partake in a Thanksgiving dinner. Yet, somehow, I have a fridge full of pies and candied yams. 🤔

Today my 30yo son has his palliative care intake. Trying very hard to keep it together, it’s hard doing this alone. Almost 15 months ago my husband of 29 years walked out, leaving me with the ruins. Now, here I am having given up my own social connections for our life together. Doing it, barely.

I work in a skilled nursing facility and since the majority of our residents are older I am not surprised at the way most probably voted. I am by the number of coworkers who apparently did.

I’m not good at plants. 5 years ago I grew a pineapple into a house plant. It was hardy and survived my neglectful ways. This spring it grew a baby pineapple (kind of). Now trying the 2nd gen.
