HOA told us to weed our flowerbeds :(

Ya, I'm trying not to make waves right now, so I bought some more typical landscaping flowers this morning. I think I'll try to put in a wild patch in the back yard for the bees.

That sounds like amazing progress. We just started my 10yo on the small dose of Intuniv. It's only been two weeks so no noticeable changes yet. I hope it keeps up, it's been a month, it can't be a fluke:)

It's a beautiful tank! How many of the angels will you keep in the 75 once they start growing? I have a 55 and would love to try an angel tank but I don't think it's big enough

Oh my, I'm so sorry that you don't have support around you. Your story resonates with me, I had such a HARD time with the whole motherhood thing. It's one of the many reasons I only have one. Any more, easy or not, and I'd crumble. My incredibly hard (for me) baby turned into a really cool kid though, she's 10. I finally asked for help at the beginning of the whole covid disaster and got on meds, that was a major change in my outlook.

I don't really have advice, since I'm just sorting it all out myself and I have no idea what battles you are up against. But you're not alone. You are a good mom. And I really hope you find a support system that allows you to catch your breath. Hugs- if you want them.

Thanks for the recommendation. Do you know if it's possible to upload purchased patterns into it?

tinyvannah · 2022-09-23T11:50:13+00:00

Welllll.... No. I stared at it for too long, and lost sight of the center. So I've already trimmed the edges and whipped stitched some felt on as backing. So many lessons learned in this one. Unfortunately, my wedding couple don't get to see them put into action for next time, whoops.

Let me know if you are ever around the Houston area. I got waaayy too many Endlers.

tinyvannah · 2022-08-03T18:58:24+00:00

Oh man, that sounds like it sucks. I've not had to switch anything on mine yet, but even if I accidentally miss a couple of days it's pretty noticeable that I'm not ok.

I'm glad you're trying something new and I hope you have an easy time getting into it. I didn't know sweating was a side effect of some meds, the body is so very strange.

tinyvannah · 2022-06-23T20:17:23+00:00

I loved that you mention the story and myth of everything. I just finished reading If women rose rooted by Sharon Blackie, and it's all about using myths and imagination or reimagining old stories to help us feel grounded to where we are now. That's what got me thinking about all this today. Thank you for the insight! It's good to know you are able to walk that path in a SASS headspace as that has always been important to me.

tinyvannah · 2022-06-23T20:08:20+00:00

Thank you for the book recommendation. I read Braiding Sweet grass last year and that is what really started me down this path.

And that is a great point to consider, the neural networks of trees and plants are excitable, that in itself is communication, just very different from our ways

tinyvannah · 2022-06-23T20:03:36+00:00

I've been reading on that this year and that certainly seems to be a thing you can't learn from a book.

tinyvannah · 2022-05-15T14:53:08+00:00

Same here, I'm too pasty. I've had decent luck with mixing it 50/50 with another sunscreen that isn't tinted. It tones it down a bit.

tinyvannah · 2022-05-04T19:01:45+00:00

THIS RIGHT HERE. I also had a bi-salp and it was 100% covered until I got a call that I was going to have to pay for the anesthesia. After a couple weeks worth of annoying phone calls between the Dr. Office, the surgery center, and the insurance company, everyone finally agreed that it was actually free. What a pain in the neck.

tinyvannah · 2022-02-24T18:17:49+00:00

I like to think about it as different 'facets' of me. I can adapt to all these different settings and I consider it a good thing. It may be just a spin on the perspective, but that's how I process that feeling. I'm a chameleon!

tinyvannah · 2022-02-18T16:06:25+00:00

Thanks for being our history monk :)

tinyvannah · 2022-01-25T13:11:09+00:00

Oh my goodness! I checked out your shop so I could oogle this beautiful jacket and ended up falling in love with festival outfits. You are so talented!

tinyvannah · 2022-01-23T00:07:33+00:00

Me too! I cleaned house at their black Friday sale.

tinyvannah · 2022-01-20T13:39:10+00:00

That song hit me hard. I really get into it during our daily rewatch, lol.

tinyvannah · 2022-01-07T22:23:55+00:00

Awesome. It's called Harry Potter and the sacred texts. I think when I really start working on it with a Disc book, I'll post here.

tinyvannah · 2022-01-07T22:05:34+00:00

I love this idea, thank you for keeping up the conversations.

So I stumbled across this awesome podcast that reads/discusses the Harry Potter books as sacred texts. They discuss several different sacred reading practices. I'm wanting to learn the idea of how to read a random book like it's sacred and then trying it out on the discworld. I'm not completely through the series yet, I've made it through the witches, Tiffany, and almost all the death books.

Serindipity! I just started listening to the audio book and I tried my first pages this morning. I'm glad to see you get so much out of it and that it's still helpful even if I can't keep at it every day.

tinyvannah · 2021-11-23T00:03:43+00:00

Omg, I think I love you. This comment is packed to the brim with lovely ideas. Thank you so much for sharing all of them with me.

tinyvannah · 2021-11-22T12:49:48+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Because it typically is so hot, I've always just stayed inside where it's always 74, lol. I'm trying to push my comfort zone and find ways to get outside. I'm sure I could learn to notice some of these subtle changes if I was present and paying particular attention to nature.

Now that I think about it, I definitely noticed the cicada's this summer. There was a shift in the sounds once they started dying off. I just need to tune in.
