You’d think after years of caregiving, I’d be done with solitude—but I still crave it.
Do you?
That deep breath. The feeling of returning to yourself.
Solitude isn’t loneliness but restoration.
You’re not broken for needing space. You’re remembering who you are.

Long ago, when the earth sang its spring songs, people gathered to honor the turning of the wheel.
This Beltane, a new beginning blooms.

I had planned to start my new way of eating Monday so I could use up some groceries, but have been eating that way today & am on track with my carb/fat/protein ratio for the first time since I started my new health program a few weeks ago and that is exciting! Yay for seeing a nutritionist & yay me!

After months of feeling crappy more of the time than not, I'm seeing doctors, getting labs done, cleaning up my diet, and buying fitbits.
The world outside may be a total shit show right now, but personal spring is all about self-care and happiness.

Today has been 40% writing, 30% reading, 20% puppy snuggling, and 10% trying to convince Luna the GSD that jumping at the curtains is not as fun as she newly thinks it is. All in all, it's not a bad Sunday.

Today is the first day of the rest of my birthday vacation and it begins with strawberry and peanutbutter pancakes with a side of Impossible breakfast sausage on a paper plate because who wants to do dishes on their birthday?

Happy birthday week to me! Thank you, @jensect.bsky.social for helping me kick it off and for the cool cards...and the food was so good! Is it wrong that I'm having leftover BBQ chicken and coleslaw for breakfast?

Frick and Frack just sat in on their first free-range conference call with the Oregon DOJ and were surprisingly good
for two high energy, under a year and a half old pups/raptors (if you don't count the brief incident with the squirrel outside the window, but we won't talk about that).

Taking the time to be kind to those who need it (and that is pretty much everyone..and especially those who are feeling marginalized) is critical right now.

If we're going to know each other, you should probably meet my children and the heirs to my fortune (such as it is). Meet Osiris (aka Cyrus, 7 month old husky mix) and Luna the GSD.
