Finally back in my place. Let my husband stay here to see the kids while he was in town, and then he added another week. I've been staying with my sister, which I am so grateful for but happy to be back in my home and bed. Happy Sunday ☺️

Such a good time! The Poe readings were great! I had fun dressing up and going out for fun night. Now to end the evening with a little awful waffle

My dress for the Poe themed evening. I thrifted it awhile back though I never wear dresses but I loved it. Think it's perfect for tonight.

I'm back in my place after letting my husband get what he wanted to take out of the house. Everyday I discover other things he took. He could have taken it all, I don't care, it's just interesting what he did take. My wedding band was the only really surprising thing, though it shouldn't be. 🙄

I have a reason to wear a dress! Friday night I'm going to a fancy pop-up speakeasy themed cocktail thingy. The theme is Edgar Allen Poe and we are going to dress up and stay the night up in the mountains town since we will be drinking. So excited!! 😊

One of the most annoying parts of getting a divorce for me is all the people "just checking" on you. Like we don't talk daily or in some cases often so why now?! You want the tea?! Some salacious details, there aren't any. Kthxbye

It's begun. Sister and I got some starters planted. Gonna have our first garden in many years, so excited!

Oh what a beautiful morning.. 🎶 🐦😊

If we were gonna try and work on it together we aren't now. Blowing it up on FB isn't really the way to win me back, just saying.

So just when I'm preparing to go over all again with you in person, you blast it on FB. I would say these are all clues.

Hi FL, bye FL 👋 you're still pretty 😉

Day drinking Florida style

Currently on Hiatus in FL ✌️

Got to work glazing some of my stuff. I had planned on doing it this weekend but gonna leave town tomorrow for quick Florida trip for my bday with my sister. We will go to see my other sister for girl time together. Get back to these soon 🤞

Everything survived bisque fire, now to glaze. 🙌

I just almost died. Had a hanger fall on the floor earlier and didn't pick up at the time I was hurrying to leave. My room has hardwood floors and I just stepped on it and it went sliding. If it hadn't had been so close to my bed I could have a head injury or broken limb. Little wins 😂

Oh I fucking hate a liar! Especially when you claim you love me but the lie you told me, so quickly, is so easily verified. You could have hidden your tracks and made it appear true, but you didn't even do that, dumbass. 🖕

My kid passed her last GED test today, and I'm so happy for her!!

Oh the accuracy here! It is so painful 🤦🏻‍♀️

Trying to decide if I want to call in tomorow or not. I know they'll go on without me but I just feel bad for my coworkers who will be working short, again. My mental health matters too though so...tbd.

Ugh I'm trying. Jusy keep telling myself it's difficult yes, but necessary. My nervous system is so confused, like wtf is happening right now?!

Regarding my personal life, I bought this a couple years ago. I knew in my heart, even back then.

Universe is still answering me. Attempting to keep giving me the encouragement I need to move forward. ✨️🫶

Just in case it didn't already feel like the whole world is on fire, my personal life is also blowing up currently. So yeah, good times over here.

What would you do if you found your spouse has some sort of singles app or subscription something with local singles in the name? Part of me wants to also join and let him discover my profile too. It's like a 2025 version of the Pina colada song, except we don't end up back together at the end. 🤣

Well this beautiful weather today had me in some kinda mood. Went for a walk basked in the sunlight, found a new cool hangout spot with my sister. The vitamin D must have been magic! Just as I was asking deep questions of the universe it gave me my answer. In my face, hard to ignore kinda answer. ✨️

I went chasing waterfalls.

Watching Footloose, such great memories. I don't however recall the final scene having so much glitter. I hope no one was wearing contacts. 😂

Just in case it needs to be said my page is not a safe space for NAZI's. 🖕

I have never advocated for a patient more than I am today. Also, I realize I would have been an excellent Dr. 😂

My mug survived trimming and placing the handle despite the very thin bottom on her. Yes my handles are chunky I know. I can throw easily but I still struggle with a couple parts of wheel throwing, biggest being removing since I don't have a bat system. Practice makes better.

Just gonna say I'm proud of myself for not drinking today. I may have started dry Jan late but I started, and I didn't let that asshole make me drink to cope today. 🙌

I got my hands dirty playing on my wheel today. It's been awhile so I was pleased to throw both without problems. I did however have problems with trimming and removing them. First one I accidentally gouged so I did cut in half to check my work, better than I thought. I'm leaving 2nd try dry a bit 😂

Since I'm trying to avoid a big thing going on today I'll let y'all in on a book recommend. The Two Lives of Sara. While I picked this book up originally bc 1: my name is in the title 🤪 2: the cover art is beautiful, also the story sounded great. It's a beautiful read, highly recommend #books

I have a habit of putting on sweatpants over my pajama shorts I wear to bed when I get up on cold mornings. Going to bed now I realize I wore them that way all day because I forgot I had them on, and I wore my sweatpants all day. Makes bedtime easy though. 🤪

Took a drive to see a waterfall that's been on my list to see. Was very cold today but beautiful even in winter. I'll be back in spring for more exploring.

I enjoyed TT for a time but I'm not losing it over the app being unavailable currently. It's too much of a time suck for me. I can scroll for hours. I probably will not return to it if drumpf saves it. It feels like this is all a stunt to give him credit for "saving" it. No thanks.

Husband told me he bought translation headphones and they should be coming today. My response was: 🤷🏻‍♀️ por que.

Interesting to note I posted the same thing on threads. Here it got ZERO engagement in 2 days. Meanwhile on threads it got tons of views, a few likes and fair amount of stupid or hateful comments. Strange these 2 platforms give me vastly different experiences. 🤔

Just popped in to say I'm an RN on a pulmonary floor, begging people to please resume masking. We are full of Flu A, RSV, and Covid, so if you enjoy breathing easily without supplemental oxygen, masking is highly recommended right now. K THX 😷👌

Does this place do art? Because IG is shit and I already really dislike FB so I wonder if Bluesky likes art? What say you, random people who follow me but don't like any posts 😜 is this the good place? 🤷🏻‍♀️😂 #art

Guess I didn't realize I'm charge next 2 days. Good thing my friend called and gave me heads up and the lowdown. At least I'll be prepared.🤞

I sold a painting. I can't wait to ship it out. Having my art out in the "real" world is a feeling like nothing else. Hoping for more of this in 2025. 🤗✨️

Celebrating even the small wins in 2025. Like today, I created a space for myself to paint. Son got a new desk for Christmas so I took his and made myself an art corner. It makes me very happy. Also I created my own page to sell my art. Now I can link my friends and family instead of giving away. 🤗

I'll take it 😂

A pet peeve of mine is treating your employees differently or holding them to differing standards. If call ins are not allowed on holidays, why did the golden child call out, and the rest of us suffered through a terrible Christmas shift. 🤔

Ohh blessings a long video chat with my BFF living in Germany. Having our girls holiday over video. Just spending time chatting, just what my soul needed today. 🤗

I know the amount of anger and frustration building everyday inside isn't good for me. I just can't fix it, yet. Just needed to vent. Letting the feelings out through movement today. Dozens of chores/tasks done. Keeping the mind and body busy for now. This too shall pass.. 😑 deep breaths ✨️
