She’s lovely! I don’t know if I’ve seen this pale of a pink on one before, so pretty. Mine just started to bloom.

Done! Oh, I can’t tell you how much joy these little bubble lights are bringing me. 🥳
A picture of my beautiful Christmas tree. It is a 3 foot tall pre-lit. It looks like a bluish pine Christmas tree, white lights, there’s presents all around in tree skirt with snowflakes on it, and I put snowflakes and white feathers and silvery German glass ornaments on it, and now there are blue, red and green bubble lights as well. A different angle from below, you can see them a little more close in the columns of bubbles in the glass vials This is a selfie of me, smiling widely after I just finished clipping all the little plastic pieces and installing the bubble lights. I’m holding a pair of green handled clippers and I’ve got my headlamp on and my red flannel shirt. A very close photo of one of the bubble lights, a red one, you can see the little trails of bubbles in the red liquid inside the glass vial

Whew! Today was my 5th time working for the awesome senior lady. Very, very windy today. Got home, enjoyed the Thanksgiving plate that my landfolks brought back for me yesterday, and promptly took a 3 hour nap! Got up and did some tai chi stretches; Miss Moon saw & was like, “oh are we swimming??”
This is the little white shelf that’s above my art desk, it’s got three snowy faux trees, and three small felt colorful birds dressed up for the winter, there’s also a shadow box of a snowman with a little bit of polyfil for the snow. My aunt makes these shadowboxes with her watercolors.

Here’s his channel! I gave him a channel tip because I was so delighted to find this info. No one else on the net had it.

And wait to see how he does the Christmas lights on the outside of his house. Real life gingerbread house! Again, no one does it like this anymore: youtu.be/xoPnMR8ggNU?...
Picture of my desk and I’m holding a package up. It’s bubble light actually replacement bulbs with the little colorful vials, etc. so in total I have five packages. I put two on the tree already. I’ll put the other eight on tomorrow, they’re red green and blue.

I got the vintage bubble lights to work! I found this guy who repairs all things retro on YouTube & he perfectly explained how to get them going. When they finally started bubbling, I was beside myself with joy! I haven’t seen these since I was a tiny tot. I’ll get the others installed tomorrow. 🥹

Ready for Christmas! 🎄
Fish Islands view of my Christmas tree, it’s in front of my bookcases next to my house plants in my fish tank, I went for a white and silver theme this year. The tree is about 3 feet tall I guess, it’s glowing. A picture of my feet propped up on my recliner. I’ve got a glass of almond milk. I’m watching and listening to one of those 10 hour fireplace with Christmas Jazz videos. You could see the lamp and also my tiny lit up Christmas tree village on the windowsill and my dollhouse to the left.

My non-traditional thanksgiving meal & dessert combo is delicious. ✨
Green chili chicken cheese, enchiladas topped with pico de gallo and dollop of sour cream on a white plate with light blue checks Picture of my kitchen island and you could see a round pan of cinnamon rolls and then on my tea tray is a lemon Ginger cup of tea, blue napkin, and white plate with two of the buttery fresh from the oven cinnamon rolls

It took a bit longer for these whole flowerheads to dry (vs. the fast-drying mint and mallow leaves) but my Calendula, or pot marigold, is ready to be infused into grapeseed oil and then turned into an anti-inflammatory & antioxidant skin-healing salve for my eczema. Nature’s medicine cabinet!
A picture of a drying rack and on it are the dried sunny, yellow and orange flowers of pot marigolds, they have brown centers and they’re perfectly dried retaining their color Picture of a glass jar and in it, I put a decant packet as well as gently stuffed in the dried calendula flowers

G’mornin! I woke up & decided to do something entirely different today. I’m not going to a farmhouse packed with 23 members of one family. Instead, I’m going to have a relaxing, quiet day at the cottage here doing exactly what I want to do. Maybe a nap, but plenty of rest, because I sorely need it.
Picture of my lap and I’ve got my mindful which journal and my green frog and mushroom coffee cup and I’m sitting on the steps of my deck and the lawn is unusually green for November, and I’m just taking in the morning sunlight and journaling

Not sure where is found the spoons (and truthfully maybe dissociated from my body a bit to do so) but I managed to wrangle the dirty dishes into the dishwasher, whip up some surprisingly affordable & delicious green chili chicken & cheese enchiladas, and start a load of laundry. But now, I can rest!
A clear rectangular Pyrex pan of chicken and cheese, enchiladas with green tomatillo or chili sauce. It’s all bubbly and melting and crusty and very delicious. Here it is on the plate with a sprinkling of pico de gallo and a dollop of sour cream

Very cozy morning here. It’s a little dreary, but all I have to do today is household tasks and drive to & fro my haircut, so that’s ok. I just found a channel that does 10 hour long charming videos of dogs going on walks with gentle music. Delightful!
Proud of my little breakfast! We’ve got smashed avocado on toast, pumpkin butter on toast, Farm, fresh scrambled eggs and a little rice pudding cup with pumpkin spice on top Picture of my view when I’m sitting in my recliner, you can see my decorative TV console the top of which is got little pumpkins and leaves her fall and then on the TV is the video that I’m talking about dogs going on walks with GoPro‘s attached to their backs with relaxing music, there’s a floor lamp, there’s a fiddle leaf Fig, and my dollhouse. Very cozy vibes.

No cheating, post your lock screen!
A picture of my lock screen it’s just a sort of gentle gradient from white to green to orange to purple with some orange stars. The time is 7:59 PM it’s Sunday, November 23. One of my widgets says that it’s 44°F and clear Outside and the other widget is my affirmation app, and it says if I think it I can do it.

Slept like a rock & feel refreshed. I received a work opportunity email yesterday that confounded me but after sleeping on it, I have an excellent reply, so I’m glad I waited. Today will be laundry & working on my article due tomorrow evening. Mother Nature is already decorating for the holidays! 🎋
This is a picture of the low tree or large bush. That’s outside my front door. It has bright red clusters of red berries, and it’s framed by the bright blue background of the sky and the green of the lawn. A picture looking down at my feet with rubber boots and coffee cup on the deck, and you can see my raised bed box of my beautiful strawberry plants, and the leaves are slowly turning deep burgundy and red

A meme of someone painting, their toenails and nails, and the words say you have zero control over how people perceive you, so you might as well just be the person you want to be anyway A meme of a Photoshop cat sitting outside in a grassy meadow, wearing a face mask and holding a glass of sparkling rosé, the word say there’s no reason to be a people pleaser. People are never pleased.

Just 1 job now, but that’s better than none, by far. Losing the thrift store job bc I physically can’t do it (7 yrs since I worked outside the home) led to all day crying, then migraine + food poisoning like symptoms. Can’t remember the last time I was so sick I had to crawl into bed. But, onwards.
I took my tray of garden soup and veggie and rice, lemonade and rice cup outside because it’s so unseasonably warm for November. It’s nice. This is a selfie of me. It’s hard for me to share a picture of myself when I don’t look good, but here I am on my chin, dark circles under my eyes hair that needs to be washed. Extremely tired, but not giving up.

I gave up drinking years ago and sometimes I miss having a fancy little cocktail for the fun flavors. Well, I tried this the other day and it was delicious! It also has one of my favorite herbs in it, lemon balm, and was a very relaxing, tasty drink overall. Highly recommend. ☁️ ✨
My hand holding a can that has the brand name, recess, mood. It’s a raspberry lemon flavor and it has magnesium plus adaptogens, including lemon balm in it infused sparkling water, it says calm, cool and collected 12 ounces. The can itself is pink, going to yellow with clouds on it.

Look at the charming little scene I woke up to. Things are a bit chaotic over here! One opportunity = no-go, an interview went well, thrift store day 1 has been switched to tomorrow, I have to shop for pants & long sleeve for that shift, and tomorrow is: my first shift, then hair appt, then therapy.
I forgot to button up the chickens last night, so this morning I woke up to the hens out in the yard in my flower bed, and a glorious morning sunrise, putting a soft yellow glow over the frosty landscaped

Can’t explain it, but there are now 4 potential (current/possible) employment opportunities on my plate right now! I’m very overwhelmed. The good news is I had a blast cleaning at the senior lady’s house. 😌 But my new thrift store manager was annoyed I couldn’t get paperwork done while doing so? 🤨
Just a little bathroom selfie at CVS at the end of a long but fulfilling day. I’m wearing my favorite red flannel shirt, my green quilted canvas purse, my hair is very fluffy and I’m tired but proud of the work I got done for the senior lady today.

This isn’t been on my to-do list for a while, and it was not easy to get the seaweed to cooperate in my tiny food processor, but I present to you homemade nori komi furikake! It’s very simple; just roasted seaweed, sugar, sesame, seeds, and salt. I love this seasoning. Put it on all sorts of stuff.
Picture of my hand holding a jar of rice seasoning, and beneath it in the boat, you can see the powdered seaweed, the sesame seeds, the salt, and the raw sugar Here’s the finished product all mixed together put back in its jar

Did you know nutmeg is loaded with antioxidants and minerals like manganese and copper that can support digestion, relaxation, and reducing inflammation? I sprinkled a tiny bit in my coffee today and it’s so tasty, warming, and cozy I’ll definitely be doing this again. ☕️
Picture of my Bug mug with coffee on it and a little cream on top and you can see sprinkles of nutmeg and then I’m holding a jar of organic ground nutmeg and then in the background is my jar of my home mixed half calf instant coffee

A magical sight this morning: whitetail deer grazing in the farmer’s field! Two bucks and a doe. After the bucks left, the doe and I stood and looked at each other for a long while. Such lovely creatures. 🦌

You’ll never believe what I just found…!
While I was decluttering, I put some hair ties in my apothecary cabinet, and lo and behold in one of the drawers was the candy corn that I hid from myself lol

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy
A picture of a bumper sticker it has a black background and yellow letters and it says I live in my own little world, but it’s OK. Everyone knows me here with two smiley faces.

Project of the day! I thrifted these white metal shelves for $4 and knew they would be perfect for the this wall. I also decluttered everything and filled half of my car with donation items. I can now more easily do laundry in this tiny room! 🧺

Next up: decluttering the craft supplies & loft. 📦
This is a picture of my laundry room. It has mustard, yellow walls, brown flooring, and I’ve just put up some wire metal shelves that now has things like spray, hands and tools and there’s gloves hanging off of it and I also put a little wire rack to hang the vacuum on, etc. it looks very tidy in here. Similar view from just straight on so that you can appreciate that there’s a clear walking space now no more bins and boxes cluttering the floor up!
