May your Sunday be as relaxed as my dog.

Oh, and Claritin for MCAS. That one's new, too.

"Breakfast" at 50.
Escitalopram for brain fog.
Buprofrin for ADHD and SAD.
B12, D3 and Omega 3 for general health.
Calcium supplement to help prevent osteoporosis.
Biotin gummies cuz menopause fucked my hair and nails.
And mango juice because.

Epic number of camellia blossoms. Positively laden with flowers.

Cutest doggo

Pear blossoms

Spring things

Two fairly critical life things are pending approval right now. Uncertainty has always been my achiles heel. The anxiety has me feeling ill and immobilized.

They approved the procedures but denied the gap coverage. It's not a terrible cost burden, but frustrating nonetheless.

Got my insurance pre-approval and working on the appeal for the GAP exception. First surgery should be Nov/Dec time frame. Then an intense year of surgeries every three months but I'm so looking forward to life on the other side.

Nothing like finding a mouse warren in your craft storage to spice up your weekend. 😫

Finally got some snow!

Bathrooms aren't the most glamorous thing to share, but I'm really happy with the way I've styled this room, primarily vintage and second hand and small artist hands made items.

Next it'll get a coat of muted burgundy and a custom built in bench and storage on the opposite side.

The wheels have been set in motion.

A perfect Sunday afternoon.
Relaxing, reading, snuggling with dog.

I love lo-fi chill music. It soothes me when my anxiety starts to peak, helps me stay focused while reading, and is the perfect ambience for a relaxing bubble bath. It's the exact frequency of stimulation my adhd brain needs in these situations.

Distracting myself from the nightmare of, well, everything, with some little house projects.

The downstairs bathroom got a new light fixture, faucet and fern.

Turned 50. Celebrated with lovely meals & beverages, excellent company and conversation. Forgot to get a group shot from brunch today, but it was magical. The thoughtfulness and generosity I experienced was breathtaking.

Who do we need to call?

I turn 50 tomorrow. A half century of tumultuous change.
I'd love to be able to celebrate....
But there's a nightmare unfolding before us.
If I manifest anything this year, let it be justice, true justice, for ALL.

Got my official ADHD diagnosis today. Wasn't sure how I'd feel, but felt a surprising amount of relief. I've suspected for a few years, but the confirmation is very validating.

Plotting

Our new year's eve was spent celebrating our girl's 1 year birthday, our 4th year dining at Over the Moon in Tacoma, and enjoying the spoopy fog that enshrouded our land.

For 2026 I look forwarded to improved health and mobility, adventures with our doggo and a return of hope and light.

Happy Birthday, my little love

Happy New Year's Eve. I don't feel particularly nostalgic about this year, nor hopeful about the next.
2025 did bring Luna into our lives and today is her 1 year birthday.
For 2026 I'm hoping for improved health, a return to activity and many adventures with our doggo.
