It’s been a month since my little love Parker crossed the rainbow bridge and I miss him every day.
Especially the way he would lay everywhere around his bed, but never on it!

It is surreal to go to work so I can pay my mortgage, while watching the dumpster fire that is my country and knowing it didn’t have to be like this.

I think I need to be a better person. It’s early on a Friday morning and I’ve already wished for the end of a family line.
The rest of the day should be interesting.

There seems to be a fine line between paying attention to what’s happening in your country and around the world and keeping your hair from falling out from the stress.

In a private meeting of GOP legislators and anti-abortion activists, Republicans promised to repeal the FACE Act—the federal law prohibiting violence against clinics.
Rep. Andy Biggs made their intent chillingly clear: “God demands justice."

Now, I understand that this may be a difficult concept for some of y’all to grasp, but:
Being a person of faith doesn’t make you a good person.
You still have to ACTUALLY BE a good person.

I feel like the aliens in the oceans looked at the goings on today and were all “see, I told you going to shore would’ve been a bad move.”

How’s everyone feeling this morning? This will be my mantra for the day. At least for those in my direct vicinity. Everybody else? No guarantees.

It’s snowing and I deleted all my social media apps off my phone (except this one) so what do I do with my time?
Build a raised garden bed and rearrange my patio. Because why not?

I’m fed up with this mess! I feel like we’ve been in a constant state of sadness for years at this point.
The art, music, books and community. The hope and devastation in humanity that I’ve witnessed. That window is being forced closed and nailed shut and I’m super pissed about it!

There’s so much to do, but my want-to is broken and I just want a blanket and a book.

I’ve put off posting it because I didn’t want to sob uncontrollably.
My baby, love of my life and heart dog, Parker, crossed the rainbow bridge on Jan 3.
He was 16 1/2 years old and had been with me his entire life. The sadness is immense, I’m devastated.
I’ll miss you my love.

I’ve decided to separate my small business content from my personal page. On one hand it’s nice to have everything in one place, but it also kinda muddies the waters.
So, from now on all the artist/design content will be over @vr-arts.bsky.social
Follow to keep up!

I have a neighbor across the street. Every single car that parks in front of their house uses my driveway to turn around.
Every. Single. One.
My dog always has something to say about it.

I was on the phone with my mom and she had my nibling in the car. This one was barking and I couldn’t hear her.
So, as on does, I yelled “Paxton, SHUT UP!!”
The nibling repeated this immediately.
I later learned they told everything they passed to shut up for the next 3 hours.

These 2 boys are the bestest boys and part of the reason I can call myself emotionally stable these days. The snuggles are immaculate.
