Packed and moved several vehicles full of stuff to my house, made arrangements for the horses to stay there a few more days but we also need to move massive amounts of hay now as well. What a pain in the ass. New owner isn’t setting himself up well to attract horse owners to the farm to board there.

So my dad sold his farm and closes on it tomorrow. Told everyone they would have 30 days after to move all their stuff, and my mom lives in an apt there. New owner tells her today she has to have everything out by 4pm tomorrow. I don’t know if that’s legal or allowed but couldn’t risk it.

Last day in Scotland. Made it to the full cast Wynonna Earp panel at EarpFest and really hoping there’s another Earp con announced in the near future. There’s nothing better than hanging out with Earpers and hearing from the cast.

I really wish we had more time in Scotland so I could spend some time looking at records and looking for graves for our Scottish ancestors. We made a stop in Dundee where some of our Stark and Rattray ancestors are from and were involved in ship building and related industries.

Scotland is so gorgeous, this is Falkland Palace from the orchard

So glad Revival is streaming on Peacock, finally getting to watch episode 1.

Oh and apparently the one woman is “out of booze”. I really hope she’s not the one driving.

Dying laughing right now. I’m sitting in my car after a hike, these two women pull up next to my car and are having a heated argument whether there’s otters in Michigan or not.

I love planting the garden in the spring and looking forward to fresh veggies, but I’m already dreading the countless hours I’ll spend pulling weeds.

Ugh, Bluesky. You are great in so many ways but I need my group chats over here.

In my house I would be so grateful that they left some. Last time I baked banana bread and left it to cool when I went to work I came home to the entire thing gone

Probably the closest I’ve been to an owl in the wild. I had just crested a hill and spotted this guy not more then 20 yards ahead of me. I think it’s a barred owl, can anyone confirm? #owl #wildlife

Next weekend I had planned to be in the UP, hiking three days on the North. Country Trail and covering my first 35-50 miles in my effort to get 300 miles in the UP this year. The weather has super derailed these plans. Picture from my hike at a MI state park today, definitely didn’t stop at the sign

My toddlers favorite toy is a small plush unicorn she calls baby unicorn and it’s been missing for days. I’ve searched everywhere and have no idea, and of course it seemed like something someone gave us so I have no idea where it came from or if it was even made in the last ten years.

The only time I ever get to sleep through the night is if I’m away from home. It’s after 1:30am and two toddlers are still up, Lily is sitting on the bed with a handful of Bluey characters and Evelyn is attempting a headstand

I’m wondering if there is any story line that Doctor Odyssey considers too far fetched? Don’t get me wrong I enjoy this show but amputating limbs on a cruise ship? Medical staff having a threesome and one getting pregnant? This season is nuts and I’m only on episode 9.

So frickin excited to see that an extended family member who has been a huge supporter of that dipshit in office for a long time is publicly denouncing his actions.

We had a nasty storm come through Sunday and had to shelter in the basement with the kids. With it just being the beginning of storm season I need to put together a box of stuff for the girls to keep down there. I always have survival supplies and food/water but toddlers have their own needs.

This has been the longest week and I still have to work today and tomorrow.

I haven’t but I may

Just started the new season of #WheelOfTime and holy crap is the beginning of the first episode intense.

Ok #Earpers we’ve made some great progress but still a long way to go, although we’re closing in on fifth, let’s keep voting ✅✅✅ #HallmarkEarpers #WynonnaEarp

In a perfect world nature photographer or historian

I’m sure that’s at least part of it

Have had a couple of really rough nights with our autistic toddler. She’s been up really late and wakes up early very upset. It sucks that she can’t communicate what she needs or wants a lot of the time so I try several things until she’s regulated or happy or goes back to sleep. #autism

There was another German hiker, Annika Ananias, who was recently detained and deported as well. I just read about it on The Trek’s insta. We have a lot of international folks come here to hike the PCT, AT, and CDT but I would be avoiding the US for the next few years.

You know how when things are going really good something bad is bound to happen? Well today I found out that my tuition assistance is not going to cover my classes this semester so I have to pay $3200 out of pocket for two classes, one of which I despise.

Cover of book Scotland’s Stories Historic Tales For Incredible Places by Graeme Johncock. Cover has a picture of ruins of a building, presumably a church since there are gravestones to the left of it, and an old rock wall around the ruins. There is a body of water in the background and a colorful sunrise/sunset

So much of my free time is spent planning for our trip to Scotland for EarpFest, after really enjoying some of his videos I just got Graeme Johncock’s book and its lovely of course. I am working on an itinerary to see as much in a week as possible. #EarpFest

Do I know any social workers, someone with a BSW or MSW? I’m supposed to interview someone for the intro to social work class I’m taking at University of Michigan Flint and the person I had planned who had told me they went to school for social work did not in fact do so, so now I’m scrambling
