SPED teacher, Functional Maths. One ‘home’ scattered across Sonoma County wine country, Southern Oregon Cascades, and South Kona coast. Never met a sand dollar shell, wild huckleberry, or antler shed I didn’t like. Anti fascist, anti MAGA.
Happiness is… knowing no rando renter will fuck with your fridge magnets again.

In the last 48 hours I’ve attended one holiday themed party, had three children’s books gift wrapped at Ashland’s magical Tree House Books, purchased seven NFS Christmas tree harvest permits, and drank my first eggnog of the year. So yeah, it’s ON!

New day dawning @ Thimbleberry Cabin in southern Oregon. After 20 years of vacation rentals and really wonderful (for the most part) guests, we have withdrawn from the rental market and are realizing our dream to have our very own, very private, friends & family only cabin-in-the-woods. Lots to do!

My latest thrift store obsession is collecting baking or serving wares by Chantal in this luscious persimmon color. So many foods look really lovely against this color and it plays well with a wide variety of of Italian, French, Spanish, Mexican, and Japanese patterns I already have.

I do love my houseplant weirdos. My two newest philos (squamiferum & ‘Tortum’) seemed ‘normal’ but their new leaves are CRAZY! One splits out of a pink silk stocking type structure with a fully formed hirsute limb for a stem; the other sort of hatches like a baby chick from a planty membrane.

Oozing out like sweat. Their idiocy. Capice?
"It remains to be seen what will happen when this case reaches the Supreme Court. But there is a very real chance that Texas’s gerrymander will fall entirely because of inept lawyering by Trump’s Justice Department..."

Trump’s Justice Department may have accidentally handed Democrats five House seats
Oops.

The idiocy just sweats out their pores.
DOD contractors “mistakenly” landed on a Mexican beach, declared it US property and planted “restricted area” DOD signs, triggering a tense confrontation with armed Mexican forces.

Mexico removed the signs, insisting the area is theirs.

Yet another example of total incompetence.
Pentagon Pete’s War Goons Accidentally Invade Mexico
U.S. “contractors” planted signs declaring that a Mexican beach was U.S. territory.

This is pure bullshit. This is what you get in an idiocracy. Thank you imbecile Trump voters.
This isn’t a policy decision; it’s a slap in the face to the people who kept the nation alive through two pandemics, chronic staffing crises, and decades of underinvestment.

I am gearing up for my much anticipated 230–hour-Thanksgiving-long-weekend! So much to pack in to those 230 hours. Wish me luck!

Wow!
SNOW IN HAWAII?!
That’s right — Mauna Kea, Hawaii just beat Denver, Colorado in the race for first measurable snow of the season!
Several inches fell at the UKIRT Observatory on Monday Morning — a surreal sight high above the tropics!

My spin on ‘Swedish Death Cleaning’ is creating Pinterest board inventories of the items in my homes w/comments on their provenance & value. All I have to give my daughters is my log-in credentials and they can sort out for themselves what they want to keep, sell, or donate when I’m gone.

Share and share again!
This has got a good beat to it.

I would crowd source a mega millions powerball sized donation to the reporter Trump called ‘piggy’ to hurtle her back in time to that very moment so she could say back to him ‘I know you are; but what am I?’

The weekend was very social (for me: two consecutive bar nights with friends) so tonight I’m having tea for dinner and unwinding with a Space Makers YouTube.

How do you organize your cleaning materials? I like baskets. I keep a bathroom basket, a kitchen basket, a floor basket, and a wood/walls/windows basket. I just carry the one I’m using along with me as I work.

I know I missed Caturday but this sweet senior has been really warming up to the new condo recently. Hanging out during the school day with the insane lil Aussie Posse actually does her a world of good even though she would be loathe to admit it.
