Updated pinned post: Losing Spencer was the most profoundly painful experience of my life. Yet even in the midst of grief's abyss, God's love made way for healing, new purpose & even joy. So, how can I pray for you? Even if you're not a believer, I'm happy to pray. You are loved.

1 year. I don't know what eternity looks like, scriptures don't promise me that I'll see you again. But they do tell me that God's love surpasses my understanding; though I'll miss you till my last day here, I pray that God's perfect love is now your home. I love you, Spencer.

One day you're young, fun, refreshing Ticketmaster to snag a ticket to your favorite band's show in town.. Next thing you know, you get over the sticker shock, read reviews, and add expensive lawn equipment to your "Want To Buy Someday" list. It's crazy how priorities change.

we usually throw away junk mail, but i'm keeping this as a soon-to-be historical artifact. People will miss it someday.

as an aside: remember when (financially responsible) people used to carry checkbook registers & would write down each transaction & remaining balance as they went? Peak financial accountability. Physically writing stuff down helps our brains process & register information better.

Dotty is 12 today! I could write books about how special she is, about all the ways she softly loved & kept me grounded through all these years, and no amount of words would be enough to express my love for her. 12 years.. What an incredible blessing. Happy birthday, babygirl.

this track is 2 years old, but i only recently heard it, and this isn't my go-to genre but it's SUPREME. Something about the way it was crafted regulates my nervous system & makes my brain happy. Art is not dead. (my @youtubemusic algorithm is also supreme for recommending it)

So. Uh. I caught & released a spider this morning, because it looked like a wolf- or giant house spider & I'm trying to be better about not eliminating good spiders.. and then it dawned on me that it might have actually been a large Brown Recluse πŸ˜–πŸ«  The Midwest is TESTING. ME.

"it's okay to suck, it's not okay to skip" i repeat to myself as i reluctantly wash the dishes before bed, because that's how you keep promises to yourself (not skipping, even if _whatever_ sucks), and i'd promised my tomorrow's self that she wouldn't have to do tonight's dishes.

My little friend survived last night's storm 😭 I was like "surely those winds swept her away, poor thing". But no, she is a resilient little girl. Look at her looking back at me with those puppydog eyes, heavens.. (me being happy to see a spider was NOT on my bingo card, ever)

all clear! evidently, the 'excitement' got all of the babies tired (AND it's late)

After some (embarrassing amount) research, I can confirm it IS a Tan Jumper & this one's a female: her "mustache" is white (it's orange on males), and she is quite docile/calm (males are more active) She watches me cook & no longer hides when she sees me πŸ₯Ή World: πŸ”₯🫯 Me: πŸ“ΈπŸ•·οΈ
Hey is anyone knowledgeable about spiders? I'll be honest, my first instinct is to ❌ them if they're anywhere near, but I'm trying to be better - existing shouldn't be a πŸ’€ sentence. This lil dude (dudette?) lives in our window, can anyone confirm if it's a tan jumping spider?

Alright, whoa, I'm re-setting: found myself legitimately getting frustrated by people's typed words, and that's just goofy/unacceptable. For the next month, if you see me here posting, commenting, liking your stuff, etc. literally call me out. Going into irl void now, love you.
...I've been really spicy lately. Like, a feral cat kinda spicy.

Trying out a new skincare brand, because clean and affordable skincare doesn't have to mean that "test animals" need to get hurt in the production process. Each purchase lets "the market" know consumer preferences, one conscious product switch at a time, no matter how small.
