My building maintenance man brought over the snowblower to help my mom get in our van because I'm out of pain medication. Little bits of kindness make me emotional in this dark world.

It's a good day to post my colored pencil art based on my past life memories of living in Maine in the 1800s. Nature and church were the primary things in our lives (besides family). I never formally joined this church. I went out of respect for my preacher father and husband. 👇🏻

I just watched someone overcomplicate biscuit dough, use an actual round cookie cutter, then put bacon in the oven, took it out still floppy as a flaccid cock, and not a single cast iron skillet in sight. What self-respecting Virginia woman! My Appalachian soul could never.

I got this toy for my little dog Willow Pearl for Christmas. It was a Black Friday score. It arrived today in the bigger box of gifts for my brother and his lady. Willow found it immediately and dragged it to her crate to play. I didn't even get to wrap it. 😂

I think they're going to ask me to go to Cleveland next month so my neurosurgeon can look at my back and take all the images he wants. I had massive spine surgery in May and I live 2 and 1/2 hours away from Cleveland. It's not an easy trip. They don't make me go very often, but I think it's coming.

Have a look at some of my graphite drawings. I specialize in historical art and portrait work. I do pretty much any realistic subject but history is my favorite thing to do. I like to think of myself like the great 18th and 19th century portrait artists (not nearly as good).

I need a female name that sounds nice with Treadwell for my Appalachian magical realism novel. Holler at me.

I'm 43 and I recently found out some My Little Pony characters write with their mouths and one writes by magic. More than one person has asked me if I'm Twilight Sparkle. Is this a coded insult or can I let myself be excited about being a My Little Pony who writes with my mouth?

Are there any people out there who use the sip and puff system for a power wheelchair? Do you like it? Do you have the same control that you would with a hand joystick? I'm losing coordinated strength in my arms and hands, so I'm headed toward mouth control.

They don't tell you how bad the nerve pain can be when you're partially paralyzed after massive spine surgery. My caregiver dressed me and draped a blanket after a bath and it felt like my nerves were actually on fire. I've been feeling this bad since about 3 am.

Who has two thumbs and managed to do almost three hours of artwork today on only a handful of ibuprofen?! THIS GIRL! My ribcage hurts a lot now but I did the work. Someone needs to explain to me why spine surgery makes my ribs hurt so much.

I wish I had gotten an American Girl doll back in the 90s. The collectors are bonkers and that doll would be worth a bundle now. I was a kid with no financial foresight.

I just saw that a jug of Lincoln Logs is $50 these days and my jaw dropped. It came up because my mom likes pioneer log cabin type of history and I was looking for a book. I'm shocked.

There was a lot of snow on the ground that day. Vows were made just before suppertime in her daddy's church after such a long engagement that she cried about becoming a spinster. Though she would never join his church, he understood her internal spirituality. He saw her.

There has to be a draft in my apartment. I feel so cold all the time. Or maybe it's dysautonomia. I don't know.

Sorry, Pantone. A shade of white isn't it for 2026. We're in our romantic goth era as a people. We won't recognize white as the color of the year when pthalo green and aubergine gleam are just sitting there. Power to the people!

Greetings from District 12. How are we feeling today? I'm not talking to you, District 1.
(The irony is I actually live in District 12 of The Hunger Games. Or on the very edge of it.)

It's always people with 9 followers and a sandwich for a photo that I end up having to block for yelling at me to get a job. They're never interested in a conversation about the reality of being a quadriplegic with comorbidities in America.
I'm so tired.
Block, rinse, and repeat.
I need cookies.
