1 Load of Laundry Done
0 Bags Packed
Mellon and I got our nails done today! I got red gel polish and they got purple base coat with super sparkles. It was his idea and it wasn’t too expensive.
Continue reading “Of Gel Polish and Going”What technology would you be better off without, why?
I’m honestly not sure what technology I’d be better without. Probably television or my car.
If I had to bicycle everywhere as I did in my early twenties, maybe I’d be in better shape?
I dunno.
If you didn’t need sleep, what would you do with all the extra time?
I’m often on Team No Sleep and I often get reading and /or crocheting done.
Name your top three pet peeves.
1) Short temper
2) Lack of compassion for others
3) Incessantly negative world view.
Who are your current most favorite people?
In no particular order: Reffie, J, Chelé, DW, and my partner Mellon.
What are your favorite animals?
Cats. Any kind or size of cat.
And stingrays. Which are a cousin or something to sharks.
Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why?
Is both an option? Or forests instead?
I like natural areas that make me feel insignificant and small.
Now, places I’ve been like that? The Gulf of Mexico, Tampa Bay, the Atlantic Ocean, Lake Okeechobee, Lake Michigan… but I don’t like the traditional beach. Surf, sand, and people are not my cup of relaxation tea.
Mountains are wonderful. Huge and overwhelming and just a little terrifying to drive in or through.

1 New Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe
Yesterday was Thanksgiving. And Wolfenoot. And Family Food Day. But mostly the latter.
Continue reading “Of Wolfenoot and Witchy”If you could meet a historical figure, who would it be and why?
I’d want to meet the man I’m named for: Theodore Roosevelt.
Do you trust your instincts?
Yes, I trust my instincts/intuition… for the most part.
There are times where people have showed me who they really are and I thought I could make them better or help them grow past their pain despite my gut telling me they’re only going to change on their own terms.

1 Video Chat with J
Man, I planned to attack the dishes when I got home. But I didn’t. I also didn’t get the dining room table cleared off.
Continue reading “Of Pasta Sauce and Plans”What is your favorite place to go in your city?
The library.
What’s the first impression you want to give people?
The first impression I want to give people is that I am someone kind and clever.
I have brain gremlins that are lying bastards sometimes, so the last thing I want people to see is a useless, unkind person. I work actively, trying to be a good person, heal from my past, and better myself and the world around me in the future.
I’m not perfect, nor do I strive for perfection. I strive for growth, joy, and resilience.
I don’t know what first impression I actually give off these days.
