If that mail truck lady doesn’t stop and wave…I know she sees me…

She’s pouting because it was warm outside today..but at night we shall be outdoors looking at those planets. We stare at the sky every night, she listens, I complain.

Getting taunted by finches is not funny

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist” James Baldwin

Enjoying the 35 degree weather.. snow’s melted but it’s nice and cold..

Enjoying the 17 degree weather

Plotting how to befriend the new dog we saw today…

Neighbor’s dog didn’t notice her…even with her hair up.. we aren’t bothering with him anymore. His loss

Upset because the beautiful boy dog across the street won’t look her way and she did her hair today too…

Baby’s first selfie

This good girl walked right into a poison ivy vine…. She’s so proud of herself

Someone’s upset because the neighbor’s dog didn’t say Hi…

Enjoying the last windy day of 2024… wishing you all a blessed and happy New Years!

Watching crows scream and shout above her head….

Who would be checking emails like a nut on Xmas eve except a querying writer waiting for good news…

I was on the phone. I heard funny noises. Came out to the living room to snores.

the more books I own & have yet to read, the more immortal I become

We’ve been out here for so long…but she’s enjoying the sunshine and I can’t bring myself to interrupt her…

Look who jumped in a pile of leaves and took me down with her…

Sitting in the morning sunshine…getting ready for shenanigans

Breakfast was late by 2 minutes. Only 2 minutes. I have to sleep with one eye open tonight.

I had no idea Nicholson’s character in the Shining was based off a narcissist. My ex was diagnosed with that and had psychopathic tendencies. Rewatching clips of the movie gives me chills.

What’s the point of a teaser trailer. Just show the thing.

Mental health is like playing Snakes & Ladders. No matter how far up you manage to climb, the threat of sliding all the way back down is always a square or two away.

When 2024 started I thought I got a whole year to figure things out. 2024 flew by and I’m looking at 2025, trying to stay optimistic which is awfully hard at times. But here’s to hoping that prayers are answered.

Companies asking for 5-6 interviews before hiring. Please stop this nonsense.

Looks like it’s time to share one of my favorite websites again: howdovaccinescauseautism.com

Well rested. Full 12 hrs of sleep after waking me up at 3 am to warn of a lady bug in the house

I was painting a room yesterday and didn’t get to write. But. In between waiting for the paint to dry so I do a second coat, I read Yellowface again… what a great book.

I was pretending to run off and she was like..go ahead. I’m good right here….

Confused about why the neighbor’s husky is replying to an ambulance siren…

Can’t toss out any boxes in my home because one of my cats will become homeless.

Someone is out of shape, couldn’t keep up with me today… 😬

My brain keeps plotting book after book when I should be sleeping. Now I’m sleep deprived and there are 7 characters arguing in my head. 🥴

No winds will keep her from stalking the USPS truck….

Really upset how life gets in the way of writing. Need someone to handle grocery cooking laundry and bills so I can focus on the words…

Its pouring. But we need to watch the USPS truck leave…

Since when did cucumbers become the new avocados…

Starting a new wip then letting the characters figure it all out because why not…

Luigi’s goodreads is getting famous… vital info

I’ve been up last three nights trying to finish plotting this story… I know the ending already but the MC isn’t cooperating so… yeah

Nothing like waking up to a rainy Monday morning and getting drenched while walking your dog…

Bribing her with cheese so we can go inside because its freezing

December has been a year long. What else can we expect…

My sunshine…

She can’t find her readers…

I don’t know if anyone will see this because algorithm but one thing I wished I knew when I had landed an agent the first time is to ask to see the pitch letter for your MS that editors will get. You have a right to know. Don’t be afraid.
