I was just reminded choco tacos aren't around anymore. As if things didn't already suck with the world I gotta remember this tragedy.

I love when people buy my honey and just start chugging it from the jar at the next booth. 😄

I’d say one of the toughest parts of calming a dog down with fireworks is when you’re trying to go to the bathroom and one goes off so she tries to crawl under your legs. 😬

Ugh. I rescued another dog off the street by my house and I couldn’t take care of him so I had to take him to the shelter. The euthanized him and I really feel like they didn’t even wait the two weeks. I get that they’re full, but come on. I wanted to try and find somewhere else for him.

I tried walking around in the dark exhausted in my hallway and wham, head went right into the corner wall. Sporting a nice bump on my forehead now and feeling dumb.

Telling people my business name is The Nerds & The Bees is worth it for the little laugh I get when they hear it.

Me this morning: “I should get some lip balm while I’m at the farmers market. Oh. Wait…I’d be the one selling it.” alright, time to start making lip balm for myself and to sell!

Someone told me about a goth farmers market out here somewhere, but all I can find is a haunted farmers market in Tacoma, Washington. The FOMO here is strong. I would love to sell my honey at a spooky farmers market.

People always suggested I should do farmers markets, and here I am doing them. The biggest reason I would say I was resistant is probably because I went to sleep less than two hours ago. Farmers markets hurt night owls. Night markets need to be more popular.

Cool. So I need to find a new place to get glass jars from for my honey. They mostly come from a Chinese distribution center and well the tariffs are going to of course going to be a problem. Already looks like I won't be able to restock my large hexagon jars.

When depression got you sleeping all day and awake all night stressed. Working so hard and pretty much nothing to show for it. “Life, don’t talk to me about life.”

A random child just showed up to my little honey selling table and asked about my bees, so I showed him a video of some doing the waggle dance so he started dancing too 😂 and then he vanished just like he came into my world.

So a dog found me today. I was out trying to sell some honey, I had finished setting up and suddenly he’s right under me while I’m taking a picture. Poor boy is so skinny and clearly wasn’t being treated well I can’t really afford another dog, but I’m not going to leave him on the street in the cold

Today while selling honey I asked someone if they’d like to try some. They immediately said no and proceeded to try opening one of my jars for sale. 😬 also I accidentally gave them a $10 bill instead of $5 when they bought something. 🤦🏻♀️it’s been a day.

I can’t tell if I get stuff on my white shirts because of course I do, or if I always am a mess and only notice it on my white shirts.

I’m out on the corner selling honey and it is so cold I cannot feel my fingers anymore. I’m mostly bundled up, but forgot gloves.
