Today is sunny and warm with howling wind. :/ The wind really complicates my plans to plant anything today, so I'm trying to think of ways to compensate for that.

I fed the birds. I've seen a fox squirrel on the ground and at the hopper feeder.

I put out water for the birds.

cypher and I have been married a full year! That's wild! I mean, we've been together since 2019 and have been living together since 2020, but you know. Marriage! :D But yes, yesterday was our one year anniversary; we went to lunch at a nearby Mexican restaurant that I'd never been to and they hadn't been to in over six years. It was delicious! I did get a flight of margaritas (mango, blueberry, and tamarind) and extremely tasty enchiladas (salsa verde for Will and mole for me). The vibes were immaculate! It was busy but still chill and everyone seemed to be in a great mood. It was just, ah, so nice.

Will baked this adorable cake! Extremely tasty, please admire!

And I had bought this super cute card set:

with card hits like this that you then decide which one you want to do and scratch it off to see what exactly it is!

(we didn't do this one, it's just an example)

We picked one that was free and only took an hour and scratched it off to reveal a "Try Not to Laugh" challenge! We did something similar, which was queue up some Real Facts videos by ZeFrank on the TV and laugh as much as we want. It was so nice! We're both really bad at watching things so it was nice to pile on the couch together and watch something funny but informative, haha. It was really, really nice to cuddle and laugh together. ;3;

Unfortunately not all is well in Nanland. My dog Selphie has been acting a little odd lately. Panting a lot, drinking a lot, peeing a lot, not having any energy. We ended up getting her an emergency appointment and at first, the vet assumed both diabetes and Cushing's but after bloodwork, it definitely looks more like Cushing's. She's gonna have to spend the day at the vet on Monday while they figure out her medication dosages and then she'll likely be on them for the rest of her life. ;3; But all my research tells me that after she's on medication she'll be doing so much better. Which is a relief! I miss my little hiking pal. ;3;

But in better pet news, a couple of nights ago I was watching youtube videos with Dale (my bearded dragon). Lil man climbed to my back, nuzzled his snoot into the hair behind my ear, and went to sleep. ;o; Aaaaahhhh I love him a lot. <3

And in gardening news! Radishes, beets, and turnips going strong, lettuces thriving, and tomatoes started. I feel like it's been kind of a slow start for gardening but I suspect last year we jumped the gun a bit for getting things started. XD; Gotta contain the enthusiasm for when it's actually warm enough!

Yesterday was really rough. Hoping for a better day, today.

So tired of feeling unwell and so stressed. Frustrated with the empty placations of all the self-help I turn to.

Really glad I have therapy tomorrow.

Watch on YouTube

I can only tell which eagle is Jackie because she's a) on the nest most often and b) her face is always kinda grubby looking. She's always been this way. The theory is that she likes to rub branches that have tree sap and then dirt sticks to her feathers. It's just kinda funny, that lil grubby head.

She is keeping me steady and on my path, this morning.

My room is destroyed and I can't motivate to put my closet back together, so I slept on half the bed last night with the other half piled 3 feet high with all my clothes. It feels like sleeping on a hoarder bed or something. Not good.

It's a gorgeous day today and work is kinda short, blessedly. Hoping to dance tonight. Manders and Finley won't be there, it's fusion fest and there are other reasons. I can settle back into myself when they're not around. It'll be good. Helpful.

Josh and I played on silks this morning in the livingroom. We still kind of can't believe they're finally here. "Thanks for doing that," Josh said this morning. Oh, right, I tracked down the contractor that I knew could do it. He did a brilliant job. The rigging has tape around it which makes it look like the rigging is taped to the ceiling, lol. But he just wanted to do a very thorough job protecting the drywall, so the tape is holding a barrier between the rigging and the drywall. The rigging sits directly on the beam, wrapped around it, as it should. My master point is rated crazy high, they're designed to hold up bridges. (!) The span set is purple and also rated higher than most climbing equipment. It's so perfect, I am so happy.

I wish I could feel like we are going to be okay in this house, but right now, I don't. I still feel financial ruin and foreclosure and bankruptcy, pretty much constantly, because that is what happened to my mom before she got sick and then died. It was extremely traumatic for me and what was left of my family. It's not something I can just talk myself out of. But it ruins my everyday existence and it needs to stop. Meditation does not help. Telling myself it will be okay does not help. I will work on it in counseling tomorrow.

All my Thursday stuff is done.

It didn't flash with me until I opened the fridge this morning. My doctor put in the new Wegovy prescription and NovoCare (the pharmacy I use for it) sent me their text. They send a link for me to use to pay and tell them when to deliver it. I've always picked the first available date and did that yesterday. This morning, when I took out the next pen, I realized that next week, I'll get 4 more pens and there are still 4 pens in the fridge. I think part of my mind believes shortage - like when Spiffikins had to work so hard to find Mounjaro. There is currently no Wegovy shortage and I don't really need to bank 8 weeks! Next time, I need to pay better attention.

The Mariners will be safe from another loss today only because they do not play. I am not happy about the game play but I'm actually enjoying the new broadcast. They gave up their own network at the end of the season and now have all their games on MLB.TV which has a feature that is great and works great. You can watch the TV broadcast and, simultaneously, listen to the radio broadcast and easily flip back and forth. It makes the games so much more palatable.

Nothing much going on today. I'm falling behind in my chicken making. The demand is outpacing the production. So there will be chicken making.

...then at least know that you're not alone. I'm frightened too. Everyone deals with what's going on in a different way, and I wouldn't presume to suggest anything specific to other people. But if it makes anyone out there feel even a tiny bit better to know that they're not the only person feeling fear at the moment, then that's what this post is for. This isn't posted with any expectation of or hope for getting comments. It's simply because I hope it might help someone in some small way.

Hi everyone! It's been a little bit since I've updated this. A combination of sickness, technical difficulties, and getting distracted every time I try to write have kept me from updating.

At the beginning of March the entire household got sick. It was pretty tough and I didn’t really do anything besides sleep for days. It’s so weird when you finally start to recover from a sickness and you feel like you’ve completely lost track of time. It felt like forever until I felt fully recovered but I think I’m good now. Although I’ve been kind of lethargic.

As for the technical difficulties, first we didn’t have internet for a few days or maybe like a week. Then a few days ago the power went out. Thankfully things seem to be working now. Also I’m having trouble with the device that I am using. I’ve been using my sister’s old iPad for the last few months since my mom accidentally broke mine. I’m hoping I can get it replaced eventually because this one is pretty laggy and loses charge quickly. Sometimes it’ll completely shut down for a little while but so far it has turned back on eventually which is good. Plus there isn’t a lot of storage on this device. However I am glad that we still had this thing around and that I’m able to use it in the meantime. I’m slightly sad the new device will not have a home button. But perhaps I’ll end up not minding that too much.

Mitski’s new album “Nothing’s About to Happen to Me” released last month. I’m a big fan of her music so of course I was very excited to hear it. I think my favorites were In a Lake, If I Leave, I’ll Change for You, and That White Cat. I have only listened to the full album a few times but I do like it. I think Lush is still my favorite album by Mitski.

Okay, I don’t think I have anything else to talk about. I’m hoping to update this more regularly again. Perhaps I’ll make a separate entry about what I read for middle grade March since that’s what I talked about in my last one. Maybe I could also find some kind of discussion prompts for when I feel like writing but I don’t know what to write about.

I hope everyone has been doing well! Bye 👋

I really like Markdown as a way to do what I used to use html for, but it does mean I can't use the old system where you used an asterisk around a phrase to show that you were performing that action. The old asterisk Sigh asterisk thing, meaning that you were sighing in real life. But now it just makes the word 'sigh' italicized. Which is great in theory, but I miss being able to type star g star and have it mean 'I'm grinning.'

Anyway ^sigh^ time to go and put out the quilt cover I had washed and dried, only to discover it had a muddy footprint on it because I must have accidentally stepped on it while wrestling it off the line yesterday - so I had to wash it again.

This time I will try hard to keep it off the ground throughout!

I got my ability to test online back again, I'm happy about it. I signed up for college and plan on getting my full g.e.d in the next month or two. It shouldn't be too hard. I'm going to take creative writing.

My goals for reading suck, I haven't managed to get any reading done in the last few weeks besides a few pages of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and a few pages of other books. I suck at this lmao I'll get back into reading full time here shortly. I miss reading.

Guess that's all I really wanted to talk about. See ya later.

The last two weeks have been requiring all my energy. Most nights I get home with maybe two hours to do all the things and then I am exhausted. Rinse, repeat on to the next day. The news cycle, at least from independent media, had me disassociating and it took every bit of energy I had to go to work and Accomplish Things. Among the shit storm involving Iran, The Pentagon threatening the Pope was not on my bingo card this year.

What sucks is that every one of us are all paying the price for the ambitions of greedy, fascist, authoritarian, rich cis men and are being dragged into shit we have no interest or right being involved in. If not now then one day. We already see this with gas prices and will see it on the grocery store shelves soon enough.

And this is without getting into the abyss that is anti-trans, anti-queer, anti-DEI sentiments and legislation.

I have considered just, not reading the news, but that also feels unsafe.

Wip Wednesday! I actually didn't forget at all this time, which makes it even funnier that I was prompted "forgotten" last week. Y'know, in honor of all the forgetting. Got a few hits off this one! I think one or two might've been at least partially wip-clipped before but most of these should be fresh. One of them isn't even Transformers-related!

So I'm trying to figure out how I want to do this....
On one hand, sharing a sentence or snippet is fun! But then again, I do kinda want this to be more of a log of what I've been working on so I guess that's what I'm going to do for now. (plus I'm in the middle of writing porn and I always find just posting that to be weird/I don't like to do that.)

This week I worked on one fic (Mixed Signals) and didn't really add too much to it. I've been struggling to get the words out of my head and onto the page with any amount of ease lately. Part of that is because of work and the other part is general life things (packing, animals, cleaning, watching sports, getting distracted, etc. etc.) making me either struggle to write at all or just make it so I have no time.

I did manage to outline part of it so I have a basic plot written out so I'm not just pulling from the exhausted mush that is my brain when I do have time to write. But it's reached almost 5k words which is way more than I was expecting! I also finally went through and updated my word count/wip tracker and I wrote almost 4k words on this fic last month which is interesting to me. There's something about these two that is making my brain want to write again and I can't say I mind it at all.

I'm still a little nervous about posting fic again but I am feeling a little excited as well!
