Just a Hoosier gal living her best life with a great partner in life and our four fur-babies. I’m an IFB Survivor and looking for other survivors in our community!
The electric company took down a tree on our property. A neighbor told us this is one of the oldest trees in our small town. It did appear to be very old… Our town was founded in the 1850’s. Something sad and heavy about burning wood that is over 100 yrs old. #fcampfire #trees #history #indiana

I’ve had to strike a balance while returning to school and what I choose to listen to for my focus study mode. I somehow fell in love with instrumental versions of pop music. I think this is my new chill vibe for all areas of life. This speaks to my soul. #gradschool #music #piano #focus

In August 2024, I was very into my fitness journey. I logged workouts on 13 of 31 days. This month I did even better! August 2925, I logged 17 workouts. Not slowing down! In this for the long haul #fitness #health #weightloss #applerings

It’s been 59 weeks. I’ve lost 15 pounds of fat, finally achieving my first weight loss goal. Today I re-joined the 100 club at 198. That “2” can sometimes be a block. But now I can see it. We are getting there. Next stop is 180. #weightloss #health

My phone just did a slideshow from 2020. You remember that year you thought everyone would die and we had no masks available so eventually you spent every waking minute sewing masks for everyone you knew?
I worry so much with this clown back in office we will have a repeat performance.

Not at all sure why my phone seems to think that I’m so interested in cars.
Just to be clear, Apple, it’s never about cars.

You didn’t ask to be here and you didn’t ask to be homeless. I hope someone gives you all the healthcare, food and love you require. I hope they treat you like the Queen you are ❤️
If you’re looking to adopt, I took this lil sweetie to the shelter today.

The same Japanese razor blades purchased in December 2024 and July 2025:
Today, I paid $49 for them
In December, I paid $31.50
I think that’s a 44% increase?
If current tariffs on Japan are between 15-25%, then what’s the extra 19%?

One of my first words was “Agua”.
Where did a white toddler in a white household with no Latin influence learn to ask for H2O in Spanish?
Hoy mi Español no es bueno, pero puedo hablar un poco.
I learned how to get to #SeasameStreet and it’s so important more kids do. #PBS is everything.

This weekend I found 13 volunteer tomato plants that came up between the cracks in my landscaping fabric, in the flower bed and in the perimeter of the vegetable garden. I built new tomato cages and planted 10 of them in their own new spot. Cheers for random, unplanned produce :) #gardening #hoosier

You know what’s way more common than people who sell thier food stamps? People who don’t get them at all.
I would rather a few people abuse a system rather than to have any child go without meals. Adding more barriers will only keep kids from them. #bigbeautifulbill #snapbenefits #foodstamps #kids

This weekend I spent two days in the 90-degree-heat to expand my garden. It was tough, but it’ll be so worth it come August. #indiana #gardening #hoosier

These were discount items at the local gas station today in our small town. Until Dollar General came to town, this was the only option for groceries unless you drove into the bigger town, 20 min away.
If u don’t have transport, you’re stuck w/ prices like this. #Indiana

Vaas is angry because I bought Tapatio Doritos and keep telling him they are too spicy and not part of a natural feline diet. He is a Dorito and Tortilla Chip fiend and clearly I should have bought a bag of regular nacho flavor to share.

What a difference six years and home ownership made. This was my bucket garden during the rental years versus my garden now.

Me: Taking a random side quest and deciding to get the little tree off the sidewalk so that it doesn’t hit people who walk past.
Also Me: I shouldn’t be allowed to have a saw or scissors. This is absolutely awful, like someone took a side quest and just hacked up this tree 😂
