Happy December 1st 🐸🎄

This is the kind of stuff I get up to for the kind senior lady: painting the nicks on her dining room table with black chalk paint, fixing/polishing a broken lamp, and detailing her car. My editor also gave me a fast turnaround article already this month! I am extremely exhausted, but feeling proud.

Didn’t mentioned because it’s upsetting but: I hate my haircut. This stylist, similar to the other, did not know how to give me the haircut I was asking for and bluffed through it. I’ve washed/styled it 4x since and the shape is off, layers are wrong, ringlets lopped off, and I had to fix the bangs.

I feel like I knew this already, but I’ve confirmed it this morning: the best time to go to the grocery store when you live in a county like I do is Sunday morning when everyone is at church. So peaceful! So quiet.

Guess what I woke up to!! ❄️
The delight of whipping open my curtains in the morning & seeing snow falling everywhere. Had to make a run to the grocery store to get a money order for rent and saw a lady who looked cold too, I said “brrr!” and she’s like, “chyeah! I’m from Florida! This sucks!” 😂

I started “matching energy” and a friendship died. It’s hard to stomach, but sometimes people become friends with you only because they need you for something, like emotional support. So if you stop supplying that unconditionally without them reciprocating, they’ll just go find another source.

Done! Oh, I can’t tell you how much joy these little bubble lights are bringing me. 🥳

Whew! Today was my 5th time working for the awesome senior lady. Very, very windy today. Got home, enjoyed the Thanksgiving plate that my landfolks brought back for me yesterday, and promptly took a 3 hour nap! Got up and did some tai chi stretches; Miss Moon saw & was like, “oh are we swimming??”

Truly incredible moment happened last night. I went into my camera roll looking through selfies throughout the years, truthfully, intending to criticize something about my present self. But instead, what happened is I fell in love with my journey, and I grew even more acceptance & love for myself. 🥹

I got the vintage bubble lights to work! I found this guy who repairs all things retro on YouTube & he perfectly explained how to get them going. When they finally started bubbling, I was beside myself with joy! I haven’t seen these since I was a tiny tot. I’ll get the others installed tomorrow. 🥹

My non-traditional thanksgiving meal & dessert combo is delicious. ✨

It took a bit longer for these whole flowerheads to dry (vs. the fast-drying mint and mallow leaves) but my Calendula, or pot marigold, is ready to be infused into grapeseed oil and then turned into an anti-inflammatory & antioxidant skin-healing salve for my eczema. Nature’s medicine cabinet!

G’mornin! I woke up & decided to do something entirely different today. I’m not going to a farmhouse packed with 23 members of one family. Instead, I’m going to have a relaxing, quiet day at the cottage here doing exactly what I want to do. Maybe a nap, but plenty of rest, because I sorely need it.

Not sure where is found the spoons (and truthfully maybe dissociated from my body a bit to do so) but I managed to wrangle the dirty dishes into the dishwasher, whip up some surprisingly affordable & delicious green chili chicken & cheese enchiladas, and start a load of laundry. But now, I can rest!

Oof, push myself a little too hard today. It wasn’t intentional, it kind of just happened because the routine while working for the senior lady change today on the fly. But I now know that five hours of housekeeping, baking, hanging mirrors/art, laundry, garage reorganizing, etc. is too much for me.

Near ‘bout! Especially when you consider things like shoe fly, green tomato, or vinegar pies.

My recommendation is actually to combine pecan plus pumpkin pie. It creates pumpkin pie on the bottom with a crunchy pecan layer on top. I also add a sprinkle of chai to the filling. Big hit around here.
I think Pecan Pie is one of those things that is divisive now because it’s just a blob of sugar with nuts on it but to someone 150 years ago who ate shoes it was probably like having 12 orgasms at once
