Can the politicians stop talking about themselves and how brave they are now? FFS, let the survivors talk.

Oh.

I am supposed to be calendar planning for the start of the school year next week. Instead I am🌱🌬️🌿🌀 in my backyard mapping plantings for next spring. I'd say my priorities are SPOT ON. 🌻

It ain't going away, no it ain't going away....

Life on a Monday in August may seem normal enough. And yet the reality is "We have a consolidating dictatorship in our country." I so appreicate @maddow.msnbc.com describing the simple reality clearly. It does us no good to pretend it's not real. The only question is what we do about it.

Sitting outside enjoying the evening, ignoring the air quality warnings in effect. 😭

Woke up with a lower back that feels like a wishbone being pried apart, so no protests for me today. Pivot.
If all I can do today is sit, then I will do it outside, staring at something green.

#livingwithMS

It's been a rough week - July has been too hot/muggy/toxic to be outside for any real stretch, and I am feeling it in my fiber. Glad I was able to get out and visit the blooms for a bit today. They help stave off the mental ick when conditions aggravate my MS.

When I was coming to terms with my diagnosis, I realized that if I lost the use of my hand, I would miss art and earth. So I am throwing myself into gardening and art and hoping they help me stay afloat.
