Farmers are struggling this fall despite a bountiful harvest. Production costs are high, crop prices are low and the trade war has closed off one of their biggest markets.

Don’t sleep well but had a 7:30 am med appointment. Made a few stops afterwards and came home and crashed. Now the only thing alerting me to how long I’ve been lounging is my tummy growling again. Smh.

I’m unfolding the top cover from the bottom of my bed. It’s been many months. Here’s to a deep sleep.

I’ll admit, my breakfast preferences have developed strangely over this past year but it makes for a delightful morning. This is a blueberry protein pancake with chia seeds avocado toast style. All resting on a large swirl of honey that’s been soaked up.

Dang I think I’ve ruined by day off by making my to-do list too long . How do I stop this?

Nicole @morphowings.bsky.social · 13d

Yes seems so. 😂 Every time I think about it my battery depletes. Puah said she’ll go today because she’s at her limit.

At work feeling like there’s tasks related to my personal life that I’m neglecting. Can’t put a finger on what those are but the feeling is there.

I need to go to Costco but I don’t have Costco energy. Guess we’ll have to go without this week and that’s concerning

I have enough time for Fridays and a couple of weeks off. I might look into a last minute cruise too bc I haven’t vacay’d at all this yr trying to save for a big leave payout in case I got fired. Now I could lose leave if I don’t take it

When things seem out of control or are otherwise causing me strife I love to read a good technical document about the subject. Getting analytical always makes me feel more in control.

So CA is about to vote on Prop 50 right? I honestly feel like if we need to fund raise or promote the measure like it’s a new candidate we’ve already lost. A group of voters needing an update on this huge issue seems doomed already. I hope Gavin redistricts no matter what.

I’m taking nearly every Fri off for the rest of the year and it still doesn’t work to give me rest.

Started my day slowly then went to a relaxing acupuncture session, followed by some thrifting and then grocery shopping. Now going to finish knitting up my sock while watching an old X-men movie. Ahhhhh, home.

Lord lead me today. Thank you for the green grass and the big trees. I see what you’re doing with the roots & I’m grateful for the nutrients in the soil. Thank you for the silence and call to reflect before I’m tempted to worship productivity. You are my source and my strength. Amen.

About to? I now have co-pay(co-ins?) for covered services like lab work and annual screenings which are also meant to keep ins costs down. They’re not low priced either

I visited a house that produces more electricity than it uses. The owner says the remodel cost less than if he'd followed standard practices. I came away with five lessons and put them in an @npr.org story: www.npr.org/2025/09/20/n...
