Because I was court appointed legal guardian for someone with diagnosed extreme narcissistic personality disorder with developing dementia I’ve lived this. They were batshit to begin with but masked it well. As filters dissipated they remained capable with assistance but openly batshit. That’s this.

Good morning. 2 cups of coffee for motivation and follow thru. Spent day culling my shoe and boot collection to fit in the 2 closets. Ow! Today planning to do the walk in for clothes. Plus, measure for organization in 2nd bed. Decided not to install doors. I don’t like doors, awkward. Husband 👍 yay!

Looked far and wide, exactly what I want but they won’t ship here. EA just sent me an item with environmental warnings on the package but they sent it. Frustrated. Nesting. October. Fall.

The little fireplace puts out a lot of heat. Ellie will enjoy this, she love patterns and colors and isn’t restricted by taste and design. 😊

Seeking endorphins and inspiration

The elephant pretends to eat this guy's hat.

Just so everyone is aware, @cnn.com is being dishonest and using a picture from the 1992 LA Riots to manipulate your opinions. The last Winchell's Donuts in Portland closed in 2008,per their Wikipedia page. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winchel...

Absolutely must clean house but still too much pain to walk around, happily reading about witches and vampires, far more interesting than humans, there’s a cat next to me so…

Common here for dems to not vote thinking their vote doesn’t count because California always goes blue. But internally it doesn’t. We have a massive amount of red. Prop 50 is our most powerful tool in this moment. Low turnout is anticipated. Every yes vote is golden. 3 minutes and it’s in the mail.

I can’t even deadhead the calendula because there are so many bees. The flowers have totally taken over this flower box.

Good morning. 😂

Dentist this morning. I deserved these.

Two Alaska whites for cement pots flanking garage. Three baby sweet peas for in between carpet roses, then pansies and violas to fill in for color. Pruned baby crape to three trunks. Early spring I can pack with lavender again for the bees. It takes years to learn a yard. Armstrong loves me. 😂

PSA. October is breast cancer awareness month. October 2002, regular mammogram, no lump but there on ultrasound. Caught early, bc is by far not the worst thing and it’s fairly easy to find if you’re diligent. Don’t be scared. Heart disease is a much bigger threat, it’s just not talked about much.

Today's kitten moment

Today’s spot.

Yesterday I was for the most part just looking at the planter that needed to be cleared, knew I couldn’t do it, Jose2 showed up and had it done in half an hour. Really have to let go of control. Now have to figure out what to plant for winter. Got to prune baby crape, see what she’s doing.

Yesterday I ordered a moose. Today I found a stag that would be perfect to sit on a pile of books on my pineapple table to give it height since it can’t have a lamp because it floats. Told husband come fall there would be nesting. Price is ridiculous. How I wish for the Tuesday Morning of old.

It’s a beautiful day. Want to go out. Feel like rotted garbage. Not sure if an ugly foggy day wouldn’t be better, makes it easier to rest and rest is what’s needed. A lot of you get this.

She takes after her mother. 🥰

When a doc who gives you frightening test results, knows your histor, knows how exhausted you are and how much pain you’re in says and how are you feeling otherwise…..

It’s hard to watch people we care about constantly spinning in anguish, fear and anger. Sometimes slowing down and breathing is vital. It’s not privilege, it’s survival. Go outside. Pet a dog. Kiss a cat. Plant a plant. Be a friend to someone who needs you. ☮️

Evergreen.

Had two breakfasts. Ordered a moose. Talked with an old friend. Shower and doc appointment. Armstrong has six packs of violas, pansies and snaps on sale $2.99.

Husband gets it when I say I need him to drive me wherever so I can do whatever and enjoy the casual, brief interactions with other women shopping offers. Cost Plus, got the blanket basket I needed. PB had the plant pot I saw online, Armstrong, exact plant I was looking for. Simple things. And look!

Put my girlfriend/neighbor on the spot with my new wide legged jeans. “They’re cute, just not what I’m used to seeing you in.” She did a good job with it cause she could tell I wanted to keep.😂🧡

Halloween cat. We all had a lot less girth. 😂🧡

Put all my beautiful orange net lights in the donation pile. Killed me but nowhere to hang or drape them here. Oh well.

October is the best!😂🧡🎃

@beachperi.bsky.social Beach Witch. I like it.

Each time we lose a truly precious person, now Jane Goodall, I freeze with fear that we haven’t nurtured and supported people who could ultimately grow into their shoes, share their souls. I hope but I fear. Bless her beautiful heart. Truly.

Not for a second.

Strangers came into the house. Twice. We’re all pooped.

Junk Jim cleared storage. Giant donation pile ready for pick up. Everything we have left is in the garage. Really have to sell that desk to get book cases in. Only 14 full book boxes, I think I can get into 2 tall book cases. Need to find some. We did a lot of “do you need that” back and forth. 😂

Republicans don’t need a single democratic vote to fund their regime. Here’s why. Please share widely.

Beautiful morning. Still warm but with a lovely tang of fall in the air. Birch is steadily losing its leaves, sprinkling the grass with their color. We’ve had breakfast, meeting up with junk guy for a final clear at storage unit. As long as I’m moving forward the rest is bearable. We will prevail.

Today I found the Halloween candy AND the shower trap drain thingy husband was sure I’d lost. Still can’t find a huge box with 12 place settings of Precious. Tomorrow’s another day. 😊

Better late than never is a painful, bittersweet truth. But better late than never.

My lawyer gave me permission to destroy over a decade of legal and court documents. 4 big boxes And an entire file cabinet.

Husband’s getting a bit fed up with me saying over and over the house is too small, we’re too old and time is too short to be inconvenienced by stuff we don‘t use. Ever. Clearing out storage, seeing what house can absorb, it’s fall nesting time, need neatness and organized space to be comfortable.

So much going on but 1:30 is always full stop for kitty lunch. 😊

I have a number of things coming UPS. Good luck to me. 🥺

Just in. This living on a corner thing is a thing. You’d think no one ever saw anyone garden before and if one more 50 something tells me how their mother was “like that” things could get ugly. Hose is always near by.

STILL waiting for husband. First camellia of the season.

Put on full length jeans. Only thing good I can say is they did go on. With the usual wiggling. Mostly.

Love Father and Son. Cat Stevens, love Rod Stewart’s cover.

I’ve already answered this so many times in this thread but here goes again: blocking doesn’t “work” the way I want it to work. It doesn’t remove the unwanted account from my followers. It doesn’t take me off their lists. It doesn’t prevent their followers from seeing me on their lists.

Never cared for magic, fantasy or romance, love my British procedurals but am once again reading A Discovery of Witches and can’t put it down.
