Turns out I actually broke my hand in three places, not two! But, I don't need surgery!! So I'm calling that a win.

Not in the greatest place mentally at the moment— this year is really kicking my ass (in case you missed it: major surgery, my beloved neice died, another significant surgery, now a broken hand). But no surgery is GOOD NEWS and I'm...

Have you seen the casting announcements for our next movie generation of X-men?? I already loved Sadie Sink in the new Spider-man, and I’m really stoked for everyone else. I’m not super familiar with most of the actors aside from Sadie and Maya Boyd, but I’m glad that we’re getting new faces and just stoked for more X-men. I grew up on the comics and...

Making progress on my ongoing project to de-greigeify my home 🙂 I know it’s not gonna be for everyone, but I love the bright colors and having a home that has personality and feels like MINE. It makes me so happy to see and I love how the sunlight bounces off it through the day!

Been pretty tired recently - not sure how much of that is ramping back up into activities vs normal post-surgery (x2!) fatigue vs some hormonal or nutrient imbalances from surgery/ongoing health stuff, or likely some combination of all of the above.

So taking advantage of already hitting my deductible for the year and getting it fixed. Still under a bunch of restrictiona for the hysterectomy...

This poem was previously published in Throats to the Sky Magazine several years ago. The publisher for my upcoming poetry collection that'll be out in the fall only accepted manuscript submissions that didn't include previously published work so, this one's not in the collection - though I do think it would otherwise fit :)

Made a dress for my birthday yesterday :)

One of my best friends is a really talented musician and had a show last night which was a great way to celebrate. Such good energy.

Got a nice lil new tattoo filler of Desert Paintbrush, one of my favorite local native flowers, and a new pet spider (name tbd) today. All around, a very good birthday!
