Somehow it feels like I blinked, five years went by and now my lil nugget is a lil dude, starting Kindergarten tomorrow - Note to self: try not to blink again, because damn!

Ever listen to someone complain, at high volume, about the same subject for so many consecutive hours that you start disassociating to daydream about telling them to 'please, with all the respect that can be mustered, shut the fuck up'?
Because

MRW the Was-band/BabyDaddy's name pops up in notifications and the message has NOTHING to do with our kid - Happy to be a member of The First Wives Club, dude
Go bug my newest replacement, or find one if the role is vacant

Yesterday was my client's 65th birthday.
She needs a Rollator walker but insurance has been difficult, slowing her rehab
Also learned that she can't recall receiving any gifts or cards for 10 years or so, and no family gathering in 20
That hurt my heart to hear
So this year: cupcakes and a walker🎂🎉

Originally planned on spending the heatwave inside, with AC, lost in Margaritaville. Wednesday's storms had a different idea, it seems.
Maybe next month, José.
Gotta chop a tree and move some very not-happy bees out of a crushed stack instead. 😂😣

Took Lil Dude to see Daniel Tiger again this year - he needed to introduce Pooh, very important

💔 Goodnight, June bug

When someone 'close' (but difficult) that you haven't heard from in months pops up in the middle of the night like nothing happened...just...why, though? It was okay for you to be gone, I promise.
Part of the beauty of a "Let Them" energy was supposed to be that the trash takes itself out.

New cut (please ignore that the wind jacked it up), new job offer, wonderful conversations...going into the weekend on a high!

At least they were half off? 😂

Thanks, Samsung Memories - just managed to forget last years tornado when you gave me this during this year's storms.
When I say we were close, lucky to be on the side of the block that we are and that the town itself wasn't hit harder

Gorilla glue for the W!
Base is halfway done - amazed this is working tbh
Also, it provides a fresh appreciation for working with fabric, a pattern, on a machine with needle and thread, etc.
Enough material for two different attempts/versions but will need more glue 🤣

Side Quest Objective 1 - Complete!
Next, to work out a method to 'hem' that doesn't look horrendous

If I pull it off and you wanna see the finished thing, will definitely share.

Got a shipment of marble cutting boards, all wrapped in multiple, large sheets of bubble wrap
Brain immediately went to your 'clothes from non-traditional materials' question
Then, see this on my day off, waiting for the kid @ school
Feels necessary to see if they are still where I hid them now ^_^

Me: *Informs manager multiple times I'm not available the 14th (initially Lil Dude's dentist appt)*
Her: Ok
Me: *Update last Monday that date is still unavailable, now due to Death in the Fam*
Her: Ok
*Scheduled the 14th*
Me: Dude, funeral, told you already
Her: Awe, that sucks (End of msg)
Me:

Unexpected day off - Cool. I'll refocus, fuck around and make a rough go at a logo

This year is for EoL work, creation and supporting others in their efforts to build/create as well.

Goal - enough clients in EoL and edits to have an 'Out of Store' date for 2026

An hour left until pickup. What to do?
Finally 'visit' @talkingsmut.bsky.social's Office Party, of course 💚
The Devil made me do it 😈

No kid for the day, no family gathering scheduled...
Hope everyone has/had a good day and gets at least some peaceful time
Happy Christmas 🎄💚

💔 'Soul of my soul'

We may have gone too hard on ornaments 😂 And my Weeping Angel topper is misplaced, so Lil Dude put his gingerbread man up there instead 💚

Still proud of her (for a first piece in nearly two decades, in a new program, using a laptop's touch display w/ a McGyver'd stylus of cotton swab and foil around a pencil, dipped in water) - 'Herbst', the start of what will hopefully be a season series

Open app before bed - check notifications - 👀 - Made my night. Thank you, Sir!

But when they do have one or more
(And bc Ashley/Fearne provided the perfect gif 😸)

Lil Dude asked for a red tree because "it's my favorite color this time" - Done, kid.
