I am a nonbinary xenogender AuDHD published poet, essayist, bookworm & mermaid!
I 🩵 books, cats, candles, piano, gardening, skiing, hiking, baking, embroidery, coffee, trauma recovery & growing my hair.
I slept with my hair in a braid last night for the first time in 13 years! It’s grown long enough to keep a braid overnight! I woke and it was super wavy!! For PT, I whipped it up into this bun and I decided to keep it up like this all day because it’s adorable. It’s grown so much!

In case you haven’t watched last week’s episode of Holiday Baking Championship, #disorderedeating comes up for one of the contestants and it is brought to the viewers quite abruptly.

It includes some pre-recovery photos, talk of pounds gained, and recovery.

Reading under my furry blanket with the Christmas tree lights glowing before I head to my vestibular PT appointment. I’ll make my pour-over coffee when I get home.

I hope your day goes well!

What are you reading tonight?

I’m reading The Holiday Swap. It’s been perfect for a busy week with family surrounded by a few very busy weeks with appointments. It’s lighthearted and fun!

Mm mm mm mm mmmmmmm. This chocolate whisky pecan pie is so good!! The homemade stiff-peaked whipped cream is glorious.

We added an additional tablespoon of whisky and now the pie has a mountain growing out of it. 😂

I remembered to cover the edges with foil so they baked perfectly!

The mountain should collapse and the pie should be cool in time for dinner!

I made extra crust for quiche!

Here are my December Hopefuls!

I enjoy reading with the seasons. The Holiday Swap is perfect. 🎄

Though the term Asperger’s is outdated and eugenicist, I’ve heard this book is full of knowledge about #autism. 🧩

I hope to get up to date on Susanna Kearsley’s books by December 2026! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

In November, I read some excellent books, some okay books, and some mediocre books. It was kind of exciting to have such a wide variety. I also had a handful of #DNF books.

Reading In November in November is always a joy!

Last night’s dusting of snow had my kitty curled up between my figure-four shaped legs as I slept. It was so cozy! Here she’s on the prowl!

This morning I’m enjoying my first coffee of the season in my Holly & Jolly mug while my 🎃 chai candle burns!

Let the festive reading commence!

We went for a windy sunset walk, then I got right into my PT exercises and it felt so good!

We had a nice time with Ross’s family with wonderful conversations, kindness abounding, minimal drama (almost negligible), and amazing food and festivities, and are enjoying getting back to our routine.

As I decorate for Christmas, I sit down with last year’s Christmas cards and the handful of cards I have kept for years and years. These are the last three cards from my Papa.

I’m still having those moments when I go to send him a photo of the kitty or nature or of my baking, or to call him. 😢

My heart is full.

My favorite professor from college and I have kept in touch since I took her class in 2010 or so. We were friends on Facebook but I haven’t been on there since February-ish.

I wrote her a card a few weeks ago and she wrote back! I think I’ll write to her a little more often! ✉️

While Ross and his family go for a drive, I’m tucking away the Autumn decorations and sprinkling a bit of Christmas around the house.

A morning with my usual routine of coffee (look at that little steam curl!), a candle (Balsam fir), my book, and my kitty cat starts the weekend off right!

The Cozy Christmas Coffee Shop Jazz Ambiance on the tv is soothing.

My wrist flared up on Thursday. I must rest it!
