ugh I wish I’d remembered to trim my nails before I came to the studio. Long nails and throwing pottery is a match made in sensory and frustration hell

consistently torn between: - wanting to be on this app and chatting with folks all day - maintaining time away from my phone so I don’t get overwhelmed and stressed out and spend my whole life looking at this rectangle

when I finally finish knitting the baby blanket (that has a bunch of mistakes but that’s ok bc I can’t let my baby niece whom it’s for think I’m perfect) I’ve been working on for forever already, I’m doing a chunky yarn big needles project I stg #knitting

my sister-in-law recently had surgery and my brother-in-law sprained his mcl over the weekend so I’m hanging out with them and my niece today specifically because they need help picking her up

The Dream Hotel has me thinking a lot about surveillance and data privacy #booksky

dealing with a mild but persistent migraine today, but the good news is when I opened my headache tracking app I hadn’t had one in 8 days, so I think the botox is working #ChronicMigraine

I saw a cyber truck yesterday but I’m really proud of myself for not letting it ruin my whole day

I don’t know if this looks like anything to anyone else but a week ago I quickly drew my dog from the angle I could see him from and tbh it looks just like him (he’s a Boston terrier)

did the betrayal list trend 🤷🏻‍♀️ #betrayallist

tmjd physical therapy HURTS

starting The Dream Hotel by Laila Lalami (also my library book copy has crispy feeling pages so I feel like it’s going to be a pleasant read from a tactile perspective) #booksky 💙📚

I finished Sky Daddy last night and first thoughts: - huh - it might have been more successful as a novella, since it dragged a little in the middle - Linda has such deep insight about other people and their motivations, which was really interesting overall I really loved it though? #booksky

a thing about me is I have a genuine fear of squirrels and will go out of my way to avoid them when out on walks

roughly 70% of the way through Sky Daddy and what the fuck am I even reading #booksky

I’ve spent too much time looking at screens lately

am I coming down with something or is my very extra immune system just reacting to the massage I got today?? #chronicillness

do me a favor: say the word “moon” the end of the word is a relaxed jaw position

hey so some advice based on experience: get your jaw pain and clicking checked out before your jaw locks up and gets really mad and you can’t open your mouth super far and it hurts to chew food

very confused on what day it is because I usually only volunteer at the library on Friday but I’m experimenting with some additional Monday shifts too since pottery class moved to Thursday 😵‍💫

my sun-loving dog is heartbroken over the Portland rain (that I’m loving btw)

we went to some farms today and it was cold af but we got some pumpkins and also saw a little black cat named Earl

got new glasses so cue the “do these actually look good” crisis while I get used to them

“if they wanted to they would” but instead of being about romantic gestures it’s about celebrities openly and clearly criticizing maga and conservative ideology

decided to go on a mental health walk to a coffee shop to get a fun festive drink and then walk back home with it but about 3/4 of the way there I was hit with tons of nausea (thanks, gastroparesis) and so I went home without a beverage ☹️

[insert diety] bless my nasal spray triptan it works so fucking fast and now instead of hiding in the dark like I was I’m sitting in a dimly lit room with my husband while we listen to Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party all the way through

today’s library haul #booksky 💙📚

that thing when all the things you worry might go wrong in a situation do and you’re not sure if you’re just unlucky or if you somehow manifested it with your anxiety

going to the dentist is a sensory nightmare but they said I have very little plaque and the people pleaser in me preened

my anxious habit of anxious googling and trying to out-research my anxiety has once again only made me more anxious

second round of migraine Botox injections was this morning also my period started. which felt rude tbh

current read: blue sisters, by coco mellors about a quarter through and can’t take my kindle off of airplane mode since this one was already returned to the library technically #booksky 💙📚

just finished Harriet Tubman: Live in Concert by Bob the Drag Queen It was good!! Informative with some funny and emotional parts. A few awkward debut novel moments, but overall v good #booksky 📚💙

I think I’m finally ready to move onto act 2 of baldur’s gate 3

shout out to my best friend for walking my dog and also disposing of a dead rat they found in my driveway while I was at the ER with my sick partner

please appreciate this recent mug I made #pottery

didn’t realize I could’ve smashed up grym with the grymforge hammer until I got the achievement for not doing it 🙃

every time I finish a bg3 session I rename my save with what I need to do next so I don’t forget when I go to play a few days later

bring back fact-checking and not believing everything people on the internet say

jazzy is home from her dental cleaning and high as balls. she didn’t need any teeth out though so that’s good!!

was making friends with the owlbear cub in bg3 and checked my phone and saw news and that’s enough for me today

staring at my phone willing it to ring with news from cat’s procedure

back from the destination wedding at a cabo resort (not my thing but happy for the couple) and I’m so glad to be home and I’m gonna play baldur’s gate 3 all day I think

we are going to a friend’s wedding in cabo this weekend but it also appears a tropical storm/maybe hurricane may be as well???

august was a good reading month #booksky 💙📚

please appreciate the view I woke up to this morning

my husband is great at a lot of things unfortunately those things include: leaving the fridge and freezer open, and not turning the shower all the way off

successfully have either ordered or acquired all the things I need for the destination wedding we’re going to next weekend

so i hope sdv 1.7 includes an option for gender neutrality

today so far (minus the gym bc I didn’t take pics there)

the vibes 🐈📖 💙📚
