Come for the dog photos, stay for the book chat, travel photos, glass projects, gaming talk, etc.
Doing the most basic things to preserve my mental health in this shitshow environment: new outfit for the goose, new books from the bookstore, and now for some painting.

I only have a few books on my tbr for the month, you know, just a couple reads.

Don't bother inviting me anywhere, as you can see, I'm fully booked.

Piper picked up kennel cough at the borders while we were in Maine (she was up to date on her shots, thankfully). She is feeling much better now that her antibiotics are all done and back to her chaos gremlin responsibilities. Piper thanks you for your well-wishes!

Don't you wish you were here too? Gotta love those vacation views.

Progress so far on my current painting project. Hopefully I can get some time this weekend to finish.

Happy new book Tuesday. It's been a crazy, stressful day but at least I have books.

Also, we have a kitten living in our barn. Jonny is gently trying to lure her inside so we don't have to worry about her getting hurt or running into the coyotes.

Piper would like you all to know that she has a stick. No, you may not have it.

I asked some friends for their favorite national parks a few days ago so I could practice my painting. I started the first one last night and so far I'm pretty happy with the progress. Hopefully I'll have time to finish it up tonight.

For Valentine's Day, I got to visit the most romantic place possible, the bookstore. Picked up a few new titles as well as this super cute blind date with a book package. Also, got to add in a trip to the plant store and add a new hanging plant for my kitchen assortment. <3.

Was told to work at home today because of the impending blizzard. It's freezing downstairs atm, but my co-worker is hogging the blanket.

Should I report her to Puppy Resources? (Puppy Resources being Jonny, of course).

I didn't really like how tonight's painting turned out, but yesterday's is growing on me. Just need to remind myself that learning any new art style is a marathon and not a sprint.

Lunch break reading buddy.

Tried to make something tonight because I needed to be productive. Maybe tomorrow I'll try something more detailed (it's only my 4th watercolor so far).

Today's emergency work affirmation. I should have followed this more in my 20s.

I keep a box of Emergency Affirmations for Exceptionally Stupid Days at my desk - this was today's pull.
Hopefully it won't be a horrible day, but if so I will be determined to find that striped shirt wearing jerk.

Time to go do some subversive shit by being... kind I guess?

Error 404: Constitution not found

(This is what appears on the WH page for the US Constitution)

Welcome to the handbasket, prepare for warm temperatures.

I also went out and bought my first set of watercolors and am scheduling time out once a week to follow a different beginners tutorial.

Doing what I can today to bring a little peace to my life - reading, crafting, playing cozy video games. Tomorrow, I resume the battle of wielding kindness like a weapon and radiating art and beauty despite being in an often ugly world.

Sharing my current craft project and read.

Two for one offer - puppy pic AND book content.

I am a giving and benevolent goblin today.

I may have more book content later and possibly crafting content in a day or two!
January 18, 2025 at 6:13 PM
I promised puppy content and I intend to deliver.
