Heartbeat*

I hope there’s more moonstone in the pipeline because that was absolutely lovely and if I had seen it sooner I’d have snapped it up in a heart ❤️ hope Tildy heals up well!

The kitten is now INSIDE of the dropped ceiling and vaguely above my head. If I go silent awhile, understand He Happened To Me.

Anyway. Threader earrings. These are so cool, and doubly so with two piercings because you can loop through both. $16.

This particular pendant has kiln-made artisinal glass in it and it's a gorgeous turquoise shade. $16. 18" stainless steel chain.

I walked into the Empire State Building.

Literally into a support beam as I was window shopping. I then walked back to the train holding a cold can of coke against the goose egg I had. (Luckily it was winter so the can stayed cold…)

Tell me about it. Husband was off for 10 days and I got accustomed to the extra set of hands. Tomorrow’s going to be a rude awakening when the toddler and I are going stir crazy with just each other 🤣

Anyways, best wishes for you in dealing with and making it through the current crop of atrocities in the way that suites you and your mental health.

I got a genuine chuckle, because obviously. My point was more, totally okay to be frustrated and angry at the administration and anyone who is supporting. I personally wouldn’t use my own limited energy to get testy with a non-American telling others (inc non-Americans) to disengage.

If you have the spoons to keep reading about our war crimes after doing the concrete actions we have as citizens, awesome. Ignore the post and do you!

However, and I say this with respect and as a person GAD, not all can do that and can use reminders that we are allowed to disengage to recharge.

Kindly, do you know what Karen is known for other than her journalistic work? It’s for caring for our mental health, especially in communities that are more likely to hyper focus. More importantly, she’s not American and can’t do anything about OUR problem.

I wish I had gotten this advice. The one and only time this happened my husband was out for the night and I was frantically scrambling to get the 13 month old who loves baths out of our only tub. Then finding a place to rinse him off before panic-cleaning.

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who was noticing how bad her posture was, especially as a former pageant queen.

I’ve also seen recipes that call for jam to be used in a sauce (almost as a substitute for the fresh fruit alternative and thickener in one) kind of like this one recipes.oregonlive.com/recipes/all-... (we’ve done it with cherry jam for chicken)
