You deserve kindness.
You deserve softness.
You deserve a break from being strong.
You deserve to love yourself.
Unclench that jaw.
Hydrate.
Take a break from the internet.
Look at the sky.
Smile.
You're doing great.

Luv you 💜😘

Ha! I see all my errors. But that’s one I can fix.

Please ignore my sharpie marks. They’ll be cleaned away with rubbing alcohol once I’ve gone to get some at the shops.

Thank you!! I’m so happy with the way it looks. It’s a little thing that made a big difference.

Thank you!!

Done! I just kept singing to myself, “It doesn’t have to be perfect. I don’t have to be perfect. It doesn’t need to be perfect. It just has to be done.” And so it is.

Now it’s time for wine and pizza.

A red and black plastic contour gauge with white lettering reading “AI Gear” sits beside a red and black utility knife with white lettering reading “WORKPRO”. These two items are on top of a plank of gray wood patterned pvc plank flooring along with boxes containing more of the flooring.

A before picture of the left side of the room from the doorway. Pink wallpaper covers the walls, with a white electric towel warmer hung in the far wall The hideous dingy looking linoleum has multicolored flecks, making it impossible to know if it’s clean. On the wall facing the doorway is white backsplash tile and a white sink cabinet with two doors with white knobs and a pink sink that matches the wall color.

A before picture of the right hand side of the room taken from the doorway. More horrible linoleum, pink wallpaper, and a pink toilet set against the wall facing the door. The sewer drain is visible in the corner with a vent pipe running up to the ceiling. In the future, I hope to redo this room with a shower in this corner or perhaps a floor to ceiling storage cabinet.

Today, mom and I are starting the flooring job in my tiny upstairs toilet room. So far, we have moved everything out, swept, vacuumed, and mopped. As soon as that’s dry, we’ll be laying this flooring down. It’s a very small room, so hopefully we can finish the job today!

Good Lord.

- arrived, so I’ll be prepping the upstairs bathroom for a mini glow-up. Next week, our exterior summer kitchen will be cleared out and cleaned, and then that flooring can go down too. Whether that room remains a kitchen or becomes my office, I’m feeling very good about all our big changes.

Along with the old gas boiler furnace, the old fridge and stove have been carried away today to be recycled. The kitchen is now prepped for two new white IKEA cabinets to sit alongside the old wooden ones in the empty slots left behind by those appliances.

Also, our pvc peel-and-stick planks -

Remember: It ys okaye to be lonely. It ys okaye to feel lost. It ys okaye to be sad. It ys okaye to have no plannes or just small plannes. It ys okaye to have big plannes that seem exhausting. It ys okaye to be a mess. Take care of thyself. Thou art amazinge.

Happy Thanksgiving. You don’t have to believe in the premise of the holiday (I sure as hell don’t), but: you can believe in good friends, the family we choose, and sharing food, happiness, maybe good movies. That’s what Thanksgiving is to me, and the specifics don’t matter. Find joy in each other.

It did! Next time, I think I’ll do it in an aluminum pan instead of the silicone baking dish I used. But in all other ways it was great. Apples were perfect, and the top crust was lovely and flakey.

Ghosts, possession, romance, witchcraft, ancestral healing, murders, my novel HedgeWitch is out now on e-book and NZers can pre-order their own signed paperback now

The top looks pretty. Not sure about the bottom crust, but the rest is okay, and I’m sure the apple filling is cooked.

This is my first time baking a pie in the air fryer. Sure hope it comes out! 😬

If telling the troops not to follow illegal orders is “sedition,” what do we call colluding with the Kremlin to manipulate the U.S. President into advancing Russian interests over America’s?
