Mentally I’m not doing great. Literally losing sleep because anxiety brain won’t shut up. Chaos Year™️ continues and isn’t letting up. I’m so far behind on everything… But, last night Tinyflame asked me to sing along to the ending theme song for Frieren while in my arms. Yeah, I teared up.

Been sick. Still feel gross. Farm chores don’t care about fevers or sneezing fits so still gotta take care of animals. But the ducks I was on my way to pick up the day I got t-boned have finally started paying rent so I’ve got that going for me. (Yes they’re dirty, ducks are messy.)

I wanted to write something eloquent but… I’m so tired from crying. I know Orion was waiting for you on the other side of the rainbow bridge so he could show you all the good spots to sniff. You were my hugs and kisses puppy. I will always love you Odin All-Father.

As he looked in the craft store for blotting/water color paper for me on his lunch break I asked Jason if he is ready for flower pressing to become my entire personality for the next six months. He sighed heavily and said “…I guess we’ll have to get you something to put them in.” ^ true love.

I’m still so glad Callie Co-Co decided to come inside. It’s taken a bit but everyday Callie and Benimaru are turning back into litter mates. Not pictured is them tearing around the house chasing and playing with each other day and night. …yes they’ve woken me up wrestling on my legs. 😅

A while ago I considered adding flower pressing to my hyper fixation rotation but didn’t act on it. After the funeral for Jason’s Nan we had several flowers to take home and he agreed with trying to preserve them so I ordered a press. I hope they turn out okay…

Today is rainbow bridge day for two of our dogs. None of our pet dogs are under 10 years old so even though it feels like a lot at once and it fucking sucks… unfortunately it’s not unexpected. Tomorrow is Nan’s funeral. It’s been a long week and it’s going to keep being a long week…

TW: death & pet loss. . . . Ya know. It’s been a shit year. We lost Jason’s grandmother yesterday. She couldn’t recover from the wreck she had while on the way to see our kid at his mom’s house on Dec 29th. The funeral is Saturday morning. Thankfully TF can go to daycare that day.

I don't want my fridge to have a camera or Wi-Fi. I don't want my dishwasher to be smart. I don't want my washing machine to text me. In fact, I kinda miss knobs and dials and knowing big appliances would last 20 years and could still be repaired.

Introducing Tinyflame to Mister Roger’s Neighborhood and just realized the king in the Land of Make Believe is King Friday the 13th 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Had a good idea for a different business/income stream for the farm but the costs to learn what I’d need to know and getting the stuff to actually do it is 🫠…

Listen. I opened the door and she finally walked in. She’s staying. But I need the cat distribution system to take my name off the list for a decade….

I love the love I share with Jason. He just ✨gets✨ me.

NYE tradition continues! Dinner: Ramen 🤤 🍜 Watch: Anime (maybe…toddler may protest and win) Sleep: Way before midnight, we’re old. Wake up: Probably before the sun is up. I’m a farmer and livestock don’t care it’s a new year. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Benimaru is such a love bug. He likes to climb on me and lick my hands, check, nose, lip… whatever he can reach. He loves to curl up and cuddle with me too. He’s been spending days in the office with me when he’s not playing with the others. I was worried he’d regret coming inside… guess not 🤷🏽‍♀️

Hub’s boss is going through cancer treatment and it’s been rough. He mentioned to Jason that he’d love some farm fresh eggs if we had any extra. He’s been really good to us. A genuinely good boss to Jason. Someone who got his and wants to help others get theirs. So yeah. He’s getting eggs.

Benimaru is officially done with meds and out of quarantine. He is currently vibrating with joy while running around the house trying to get Ichabod to play with him. Sometimes he succeeds, mostly he just chases. I have gotten some cuddles too.

Colorful moments of joy from the past three days. I can’t wait to have more of the new pullets laying. 🥰

Last night the automatic coop door opened randomly so I grab my stuff to go put birds back up. Jason ended up doing it for me because Tinyflame asked where I was going then after I explained came running and took my jacket from me while saying “Mommy don’t go!” and hugging my leg. 🥲

I love catching them in the nest box. Finally know which Ameraucana has started paying rent.

Well in another “I complained about it so the universe did this to shut me up”, today I finally found a blue egg in the nest box! 🥳 It was a bit dirty so I had to wash it and put it with the rest of the cleaned eggs. 😍

Today has been exhausting. Worked for a bit then went to go finalize getting Subu2.0. Got home, everything is fine, and the girls left some gems in the nest boxes. The faint white speckles on the big egg are my favorite. One year my Ameraucanas will start paying rent and I’ll have blue eggs again.

Medicine appears to be working. His fever is gone and he’s back home. He got up, stretched big on his front and back legs and walked over to be to be scooped up for cuddles. Hopefully he’ll keep getting better and become the single brain cell kitten I know he should be. 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
