Finished my last pre-holiday errand and I am SO glad I don't have to go back to town again.

I went in super early to avoid the grocery store crowds, and even if I did only get 5 hours of sleep it was well worth it. By the time I finished up the laundry the whole city had descended into chaos.

I just love him so much 🤍

I'm going to be 40 in just over a month and the math ain't mathing. 4-0?! But I *just* turned 30!

And then I sleep funny and my back hurts for two days and it's like... okay, yeah, I guess. I've always been bad at math.

Looking back at some old artwork and like, damn I used to be pretty good at it.

And yet at the time I hated just about everything I put out. What a shame.

I finally finished shelling all the black beans, that's a little over 6 pounds 🫘

I love this dog so much. She's perfect.

Even with those grinchy ass feet, and it wasn't even that long ago that I trimmed them! Oh well, I wanted to groom the dogs so they're fresh for Christmas anyway, might as well do it now. Can't let the vet think I let her out in public with paws like that.

Nutmeg needs another trip to the vet.

I don't think the last one really looked at the sore on her butt very well. She said it was a hot spot and to use diaper cream, but it's been 3 weeks and it hasn't helped.

And so begins the cats' war on Christmas.

Chris' company Christmas party is this weekend and I don't own any "nice" clothes. My wardrobe consists of grubby farm clothes, jeans, sweatpants, and hoodies, so I took advantage of cyber Monday sales and put together an outfit.

In my head everything looked nice together, then I photoshopped it...

Relieved to have finally found a good home for my two turkey girls. I'm tired of fighting with them getting into the garden, but also too attached to send them off to freezer camp.

Even with clipped wings they're flying up on top of the coop to hop over the fence. They're too athletic!!

I forgot how light the wood was when we first put it up. It's going to take some time to darken but it looks sooo much better!

No cheating, post your lock screen!

Jumping on the doner kebab trend going around TikTok right now. Made some sumac onions and a cucumber and garlic sauce to go on top... I'm so hungry, the wait is killing me!

Excited to finally get the walls finished and cover up this eyesore!

We started putting them up before covid, grabbing the wood as we could afford it, but ever since the pandemic affected the market it's been impossible to find in this size locally.
