a walk through the forest 🌳

cinnamon rolls 😋

I read two EXCELLENT books this week. Beautyland by Marie-Helene Bertino and Kin by Tayari Jones!

teeth whitening strips are a sensory nightmare

☀️

the thing they don’t tell you about being the eldest child is that when one of your parents is sick everyone is allowed to fall apart except you

I’m gonna be honest it feels good af to not care about marvel movies

sunflower 🌻

I made some shark themed desserts for my daughter’s shark themed birthday party!

my mood is so low that I’ve written two poems today. I don’t write poetry 😐

I took a picture of a birb! (black-capped chickadee)

i had a precancerous mole removed yesterday (went fine; no complications nor complaints) and I’m trying to think of the pain of my incision as the incredible work of the human body repairing itself rather than a painful annoyance. harder than you’d think actually

my daughter drew my portrait :)

yesterday my husband and i deep cleaned our basement (trophy couple activities) and i found a copy of cormac mccarthy’s the road and it was like i had unveiled the holy grail

i have the disease where whenever you see a book your heart starts to race

i love going to the grocery store on weekends and witnessing everyone’s first day on earth

biopsies came back and each of the spots they took came back atypical so now i have to go in again for surgery 🫠

finished embroidering my jacket :)

I had to get skin removed at my derm appt last week and that was painful enough however i didn’t realize that in the last year I’ve somehow developed an allergy to bandage adhesive and let me tell you, having huge itchy welts and also open wounds from your skin being shaved off is worse!

my mom: what does Trump want that’s in Iran? me: a distraction from the Epstein files.

i feel like at this point Donald Trump is trying to run this country into the ground at record speed and he’s succeeding because no one is fucking doing ANYTHING TO STOP HIM

kitty loves Kamala (and so do I)

sitting in a sauna (my doctors office) for an hour and then being bloodletted (getting a simple blood draw) and then wondering why I’m so woozy and nauseous every six months of my life forever

my daughter has been reading the boxcar children series aloud to me and one of the first sentences in the book is that the baker’s wife does not like boys and my daughter interrupted her sentence to look at me and ask in all seriousness “if she doesn’t like boys why is she married to one”

kid: is today tomorrow me, the troll under the bridge: what is today if not yesterday’s tomorrow

I’m ready to shake my ass at the bad bunny halftime tonight 💃 FUCK ICE GO SEAHAWKS

I’ve been obsessed with chocolate chip cookies lately. Also fuck ice

fuck ice and thank you to all the people who choose to risk their lives to protest against those trigger happy, small, pathetic, loser pieces of shit in the streets.

if the Steelers win Monday night I’m gonna buy an Aaron Rodgers jersey as a formal apology to the man
