Show me the $$$

well... trying to get the lending end of the home deal tied up so we can close... if this can get done this week, they see us closing before Thanksgiving!!! I am so excited! Especially since the Bell's have been so unprofessional and are now bordering on unethical.

too damn short staffed at work

the title is also my reason for not posting in a month.. .geez!! I am working in a field where the average worrk week is SUPPOSED to be 3 days... try FIVE. and when those days are anywhere from 11-15 hours, you dont really wnat to work them all in a row... not even back to back. Yet, that is what we are currently having to do. We are short 2 technicians... one transferred to a unit closer to home, the other moved out of state when spouse was transferred due to job. ARGH. so, rather than complain, I will share with you a response to one of my art groups where the question was posed "HOw do you store your paper?" And, if you know me (why else are you reading this?) then you know that I have a somewhat serious paper addiction. No, I do not want help with it or a 12 step program. I am well aware of my addiction to paper and I embrace it! LOL Here you go:: I am a tad OCD in my paper habit... argh. I store 12x12s in the IRIS scrapper containers on wheels...there are 6 clos...

What I’m Practicing in 2026 Instead of Hustling

I’m not replacing hustle with another aesthetic version of productivity. I’m not optimizing my rest or monetizing my healing. What I’m doing in 2026 is practicing—slowly, imperfectly—ways of living that don’t require me to be in constant pursuit mode. Here’s what that looks like right now. I’m practicing pace. Letting things take the time they take. Leaving margin. Choosing “not yet” more often than “push through.” I’m practicing embodied yeses and noes. Listening to my body before my calendar. Noticing where tension appears when I agree to something—and honoring that information. I’m practicing enoughness. Stopping at “good and sufficient” instead of polishing myself into exhaustion. Letting “done” be a form of care. I’m practicing work that doesn’t hurt me. Not pain-free, not perfect—but work that doesn’t demand constant self-betrayal as the price of admission. I’m practicing creativity as nourishment. Writing, journaling, making, and mending without asking whether i...

Less "Bonfire in the field", more "Ember in the hand"

 This month does not arrive as a single clear turning. It arrives in layers—like weather systems crossing the same sky. Beltane on one hand: movement, participation, the steady return of life asking to be lived out loud again. And beneath it, the Flower Moon in Scorpio: depth, emotional honesty, and the quiet dismantling of anything that can’t stay true under closer light. Nothing about it is separate. It all happens at once. April saw me showing up in the middle of ordinary obligations that still carried weight. Delivering our older RV to a stranger so 3 children could “camp out” for the first time, managing the logistics of it, and moving through the practical realities of change—these were not small things. They were acts of coordination, release, and responsibility all at once. Life asking for attention in measurable, physical ways. I joined a small writing group—standing inside uncertainty, sharing something I wasn’t fully sure I wanted to reveal, and discovering afterward tha...
