The only thing that can keep my body from shutting down when things go wrong is reminding it how it feels when things go wrong and that it isn't an immediate death sentence...

This is also why positive thinking doesn't really work for me and why my dad tries to find out everything about his medical issues and tell you about them... Positive thinking doesn't prepare you for when things could go wrong...

She mentioned that more educated people have a harder time in therapy because we have more ability to scrutinise what other people are saying, we don't just believe what we're being told...... So it feels like she's been trying to just tell me what to believe to see if that works...

I think I realized why my therapist advice with OCD symptoms hasn't been working and she's subtlety insinuated it herself... The best practice with OCD type anxiety that my family has is exposure therapy... Her answer has always been "the worst that could happen is they say No"... not with my brain

Happy International Rescue Cat Day to my loves, Francie and Marcel. I'm obviously a big advocate for rescue animals but FIV+ cats have a special place in my heart. If anyone ever has questions about caring for FIV kitties I'm always happy to answer. 1/2

I’ve been growing an Alpine Strawberry plant indoors this year and it’s going modestly well. 🍓❤️

Today in my garden, a wee reminder to keep your head up.

... i am at my wit's end... I swear to god. I need some friends who I can complain to about stuff and feel like I can do stuff with without going insane...

I'm sure it'll all work out but like... I swear I need a lesson on how to use technology because I was not prepared

I have self sabotaged myself so hard in this job searching stuff... Why am I like this???

So good we had a quarter each 😂

... okay. Hobbit Homestead really is the best list/ tab

Der be a cheeky crow doing da soft shoe shuffle in my garden 🕺😹 #Hedgewatch

Sounds like heaven!!

We had our house orange-oil treated for termites this morning. Then I baked a banana bread.

Basically it smells like living in a fruit salad around here right now.

Building a corner of serenity in my garden

Even my cat greets Buddha san every morning for a minute before she goes meandering

I saw someone attempting to complete a knitting project while walking down the street and it’s one of the top 10 Portland things I’ve ever seen #pdx #pnw

A raku vase in yellows, reds, blues and purples with an abundance of texture. There is a wave of red running vertically up the side of the vase in view.

3 raku vases placed into the reduction container among flames

A little magic for your Saturday.

Within the kiln, where flames rise,
Draconis wakes with molten eyes.
Across its skin, raku fire streams,
A creation forged from potter's dreams.

From earth and flame its power is cast
Ancient breath in clay held fast.

a render of pikachu with sparkling eyes, looking at a birthday cake. a 3d and simplified version that's a nod to the birthday pikachu card.

a render of pikachu on a pink surfboard. he's got an expression that seems like he's ready to take on the waves. a nod to the surfing pikachu card.

a 3d render of a pikachu tied to a bunch of colorful balloons. he has a somewhat tired expression, and is waving to the viewer. maybe he's about to float away? a nod to the original flying pikachu card.

forgot to post these here yesterday for pokemon 30!!! hehe

The top of the cake. 5 slices of apple on top arranged like a pin wheel. A little too toasty but not burnt.

Cross section of the cake. You can see evidence of the rhubarb/ apple layers in the cake.

* breathes* in more positive news I made this apple and rhubarb cake for my boyf's birthday. Bit over cooked but still yom.

AND ANOTHER THING while I'm letting myself be exhausted about People....
The fact the left isn't having as many kids might be a problem one day.... unless we can find a way to get into Power. Mormons out here having a whole football team + of kids... aaaaaaaaaaa

I also keep seeing people saying Albo is a bad guy and I'm like....... is this really what we need right now??? It's like people really are getting over how bad it is in the US and are falling back into the same patterns.... I'm tired ...
