I'm a month post-op & feeling amazing. Looking forward to my continued healing. #laparoscopichysterectomy

Here are the companies destroying the east wing of the White House

Not a sunset but one of my favorite moon pics. ☺️

When people see other people as actual humans great things can happen.

Never in a million yrs would I have thought I'd own a drill to make holes in plastic pots/planters but also an auger drill bit to break up compact soil & roots. 😏 #patiogarden

Maaaaan the walk from the car to go vote took a lot out of me but nothing was keeping me from the polls. Exercising my right to vote which was paid for with blood sweat & tears. I'm voting until I can't because my late Grandma said it was my right, duty & privilege. #3+wksposthysterectomy

Let me get this straight, our country doesn't have any scientists working to keep us safe & we have a new covid variant, avian flu & clade 1 mpox. My mental health can't handle all this along with rising food & housing costs.

Rewatching #Dynasty on Tubi & chylllllle 3 episodes in & I realize ain't shit changed. I will say they have way too much truth going on in the dialogue.

Buckle up buttercups we've moved from the soup to the paint.

If my younger past self knew how much I use algebra & fractions when I sew I wouldn't have been so mad learning it. 😏

My list of muted words is growing because y'all not gone stress me…nope.

Too many products to list but distributed in Iowa, Illinois, North Dakota, Nebraska and Wisconsin.

I finally collected all my thread to put in my wall spool holder & umm yeah I don't own machine thread. I have a ton of serger thread from a market place score last yr. I really do miss you Joann. 😢

The difference getting a fresh cut can do for my mental health is astounding. Instant mood lift/shift & a lighter spirit. Not medically cleared to hit the streets, I already pressed my luck 2 wks ago 😬 so I'll sit on the patio & get some fresh air & sun.

I ran out of fabric. #sewsky

Please don't wait until the last minute to be prepared if you're the owner of a uterus. Look into reusable products like cloth pads, menstrual cups or discs. Cloth pads can be made from new fabric or/& old (shirts, towels & socks). There are also different styles too. Period poverty is real.

I'm in the mood for a documentary, I want to learn something I didn't know before.

The end of the year is coming & I wanna start decluttering now so the Dec deep clean goes well however we're doing this recovery from major surgery thingy so yeah. 😮‍💨 Am I gonna sneak & do it, nope I'm gonna make the kid & man do it. 🤭

Express by B.T. Express has been looping in my brain for 3 days now. Just randomly out of nowhere I'll start humming the tune & singing the very limited lyrics. I'm over it but my brain isn't ready to move on. 😭😭

I've collected 4 small piggy banks from my travels. My grandson loves to look at them & talk to them when we video call. I told him he could have one & when I saw him. His dad, my oldest son said I had gone swaft. I can't help it I love him so much!! 😭😭

Me: I'm taking a break from gardening until after my recovery. Also me: 2.5 wks into recovery you know I could just grow some herbs & a few flowers. 👀😭 The boy will probably help me, he's a good kid when he's not being a jerky teenager whom I love to pieces. 🥰 #patiogarden

I don't know who else finds it sad that depression era recipes are popping up all over the place. I love frugal cooking but making poverty mainstream sucks because there's nothing "cool" about trying not to be hungry.

Watching a YouTube video where the lady made a crock pot chicken & she blended the juices for gravy & was like ugh I don't wanna break out the blender then she used her emersion blender & I'm like oh shit heffa you got one of those too. Duh!! 😬🤦🏾‍♀️🤣🤣🤣

I'm ready to fight this velcro binder so I think it's time I started thinking about & working on a corset. Life is so odd because never in a million yrs did I think I'd want to wear one. Smh 🤦🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

Insomnia had me in a chokehold last night/this morning. My brain wouldn't shut down & because I didn't get enough sleep now feeling extra wired & distracted. Looks like I'll be having a large cup of coffee to help slow shit down.

I cut out & started sewing a dress the day before my surgery & that was a bad idea. I hate it & I know I'm not gonna wear it soooooo I'm gonna try & salvage it by taking it apart & redoing it with a different bodice. I don't like to sew but I appreciate the skill. #homesewist🪡

Our tub is leaking & I'm hiding in the bedroom while the man deals with the maintenance guy since it's his day off & I don't feel like putting on a bra.

I sound like Peter Griffin when I laugh now because I don't want to snap a stitch & that may be the worst part of my recovery. I can't wait to be healed enough to cackle like an old witch again. 😌

I fit in like a jar of mismatched buttons & random zippers. 🥴

The man said he's not surprised or disappointed I'm up doing all the things I'm doing 2 wks after major surgery. He said the only time I took it easy was when I had vertigo. I hate being dependent on folks to do shit for me, it makes my gums itch.

Thinking back to the 1st book all the boys/half brothers learned anti-Blackness from their mother Cory. That woman didn't like Lauren who was large, dark skinned & opinionated & showed it in very subtle ways until the oldest was killed. Not these books running up my blood pressure again. 😒

I need someone to explain to me why Mark hated Lauren the way he did. She saved him, feed him & made a place for him & look what he did… telling Jared's ppl about Acorn & then keeping his niece away. Then for Larken to know he lied & still hate her momma. 😕 #ParabaleOfTheTalents

The kid & I went to get our flu shots & when I gave the lady my birthday so she could find me in the system my child asked how did it feel growing up during the Cold War. 😑😮‍💨 I swear I love him so much because at least he knows what that was & when. 😏🤣

I'm aiming for 2030. 😮‍💨

Do not, my friends, become addicted to water. It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence. - Immortan Joe / Mad Max Fury Road Humanity is getting fucked over, sideways, front, back, up & down & alas most of us don't even care. 😮‍💨

All 👏🏾 of 👏🏾 this!!!

Falling asleep 30 mins before my alarm went off was nasty work. 😤😤

Took a late morning nap yesterday & went to bed after 11 PM so I don't understand how my ass is up now. I haven't had insomnia in months. 😭 So much for the list of things I wanted to do Saturday aka today. It looks like I may be tired to do most of them. Damn it all!! 🤬🤬

If these temp dips are any sign of what winters gonna feel like it's gonna be colder than a witches tit. 😬

Welp the warm weather was nice but it's time to pull out blankets because I'll be damned if we're turning on the heat yet. Gotta give our pockets a chance to catch their breath after the summer electric bills. 😩

Having worn this belly band for 2 wks because of surgery I understand the love of corsets.

The man has kissed the boy on his forehead for his whole life before he left for work. One day the man was running late opened the door & the kid yelled "hey". He came back laughing & kissed him on the forehead. I genuinely love that for both of them. 🥰

Yes

I just heard the expression "the juice isn't worth the squeeze" & I'm like how did I go over half a century & not heard this before. 😒 I feel betrayed.

When it's #spookyseason & the man wants brownies of course we make them in the skull pan. 😏💀 #spooktober

I got out of my recovery bed to make meatloaf because I wanted to taste my own food. I was impressed myself because it was fantastic. 😏 Sometimes I forget I can actually cook. 😂

Why do apt refrigerators come with such small freezers? And why is it on the top? I'm so irritated because I can't buy meat in bulk the way I want to save money. 🤬🤬

Spring & summer are my favorite gardening seasons. I'm currently doing research on loofah & dipper gourds for next yr as the garden rests while I recover from surgery. I decided to not have a fall season which was hard but necessary. #patiogarden
