This flu really, really sucks. Seriously, wear a mask in crowded places, wash your hands regularly, take D, C, Magnesium, and Zinc. Dance in a circle around 3 acorns or whatever but avoid it if at all possible.

Teen gave me his flu and I'd almost forgotten how it makes you hurt everywhere. Even my heels hurt.

Very cold and snowy day, and a teen with the flu, called for homemade soup and homemade bread. The house smells good 😊🍞

I can't stop thinking of all the poets slain by tyranny. Today I hear the voice of Federico García Lorca, slain by fascists in 1936.

Ah, perimenopause. When it's 18 degrees outside and you're sitting by an open window.

2025 was absolutely brutal. In between heartbreak and tears and stress I tried to find and capture moments of beauty in nature. When all else fails the seasons still change, the sun and moon still rise and set, and a new day follows the last. "Nature never did betray the heart that loved her." -WW

Welp, I just gave up on today and went back to bed. Day 7 of a wicked cold and I'm exhausted. Meanwhile, I can feel the Christmas noose tightening. IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR THO.

Spending my afternoon nursing an awful head cold and watching Ladyhawke. My sister had a huge cardboard cut out of Rutger Hauer that a friend "liberated" from a video store. 🤫😄

It's that time of year when I have to rearrange rooms and boxes in order to accommodate the Christmas tree and decorations.

It's that time of year when people start posting photos and videos of themselves having fun killing deer in the woods. Nothing like a Facebook scroll & a guy dragging a dead deer to his car. I get it people eat them blah blah whatever. Can't wrap my head around the part where they say it's so "fun"

I made a rather tasty beef and root vegetable stew tonight, which I'm currently eating with a slice of rosemary cottage bread, a chunk of 5 year old Wisconsin cheddar, and a sharp pickle. All I'm missing is the freshly poured ale and ambiance of a British pub 🇬🇧

If you are anywhere in the US with clear skies, look north and put your phone on night mode. Major aurora event happening with sightings as far south as New Mexico

Happy Veteran's Day to all those who have served. Especially remembering my dear friend, a USAF Vietnam Vet who died a few months ago. 💚💛❤️🖤 So hard to not make that annual phone call today to thank him for his service 😞
