Timeline cleanse: Bowie's favorite game right now is to push her empty kiddie pool around the backyard. It was $8 so I'm not worried about the damage 🤣

Reminded that research often counts as #writing today.

Had stagnated on a WIP but this text is offering a FLOOD of ideas and possibilities!

Short people - you know.

Side note, measuring and cutting are my LEAST favorite parts of sewing 😬

But I need a 28" inseam because I have short legs and GOOD LUCK FINDING THEM

Flowers from my resistance garden!

Good morning! I plan on working on the garden this morning.

See this container? It was supposed to be flowers. Instead it's a pumpkin plant bc I composted the Halloween pumpkins 🤣 so that needs to come out because my tiny garden can't handle pumpkins!

Also I made Steak bites & gnocchi plus zucchini & squash for dinner, as well as lavender shortbread cookies.

Damn if we could live on one income I could rock this stay-at-home wifey shit haha

While I am an AVID inside plant person, my New Year's Resolution this year was to try to grow something I could eat. Here's hoping 🤞

Sheltering due to the weather and have all 4 cats in the basement closet with me. One is still partially feral and I didn't want to lose an arm getting her in a carrier so I just carried her under my arm like a football. She's making herself useful and dusting at least 🤷

Money-saving tip from the theatre:

Dilute the cheapest vodka you can find in water (I use a 50/50 solution but you do you) and spray on any fabric you can't wash. This is how touring shows keep costumes fresh when they can't be washed after performances. Cheaper than Febreeze!

This guy managed to root just by falling off his plant and sitting on a shelf until I just now saw him when I went to move the plant he was hiding behind.

This little girl was dumped and spent a couple of weeks outside before I took her home. She has NO desire to ever be Outside again 😂

(This is her face after eating a spider and immediately regretting it lol)

Ooh love some bone stock! Kitty snuggles were had here as well 🥰

One of the rocks I tumbled turned into a fairy stone! 😱

Does this mean... I *am* the fairy???

In case you're wondering about the state of education in the US, my district just spent $1.2 million on its football field, but updating the DECADES out-of-date HVAC system (which we can't control in our building) is "too expensive."

It's 80F in these classrooms and we are MISERABLE.
