Actually noticing the time I deny/grant myself. When I could go jogging, for a walk, yoga, Ori. Decline, decline, decline. When I could sit and work for hours on one thing after another. Accept, push, accept.
Am I only worthy when serving others? Wtf? Can I buy my own time back?
Anyway, I worked a 12 hour day yesterday, mid vacation and ran a ton of errands and I'm somehow here now. With 4 days left. I'm going to do my nails later, anyway. Why does it feel so hard to enjoy life? 🥺 De-program this bs. These manmade problems are not my nature. Taking this tiny pocket of time for me. Minnnnnnnnne. Mine mine. Also f yes DnD stamps. Cool postal workers sold me the last page on display. Literalllyyyyy PO worker: We just restocked yesterday! Sold out. me: People are Buying Them!! *Shakes fist* Other PO worker: Are there some on display? Sell her the display! PO worker: Oh yeah! Take em! me: YES YAY! Ilysm + handwritten letters forever 💌📨📮

💬Loads on plenty of tables right? The world. Your country. Your family & friends. Right outside the door. Plenty inside the door. Then there's the junk on your 🧠.
Do what you want. Some of the stuff you have to do needs done. Want to do it. But there's silly stuff or awesome things or scary/unlikely tbings. Do those. Got time and a desire to do nothing? It's okay to do nothing.
That's how a thinking creature copes. Keeping it in never does anyone any good.

🌞I know that Thursdays are lowkey the November of the week, but my family holds a deep importance to Thursdays. It's because a lot of folks from my dads side of the family (including myself) were born on a Thursday. Whenever we have a new life in the family, it almost always lands on a Thursday.
Asides from the personal lore, here's what this day was like for you: you slept really well, a few hours less than usual, but woke up feeling refreshed. You took a cold shower, had a americano with your favourite yogurt with breakfast, and did some deep stretches by the window, watching the world wake up. Inevitably, there's house music playing as you're getting ready, you put on an accessory that you've put off wearing (maybe blue), and texted your mom I love you. Also inevitably, you're running toward the bus stop and barely had time to tie your shoes. You forgot your 2nd favourite lipgloss, but it's okay since you brought a new lipliner and someone complimented your outfit on the bus.
You meet your best friend for brunch, and you have some form of eggs and avocado toast. Your best friend is so warm and happy, it's like being the moon sitting across from the sun. You (once again, inevitably) spill some coffee on your outfit, but your best friend reassures you it's not noticable. You take your meds, and make a joke with the barista over the counter about adderall.
After brunch, you and your bff both go out on the town, maybe lurk around for a crystal shop and buy each other a rose quartz and lapis lazuli. You reccomend howlite for better sleep for the unassuming customer in the shop, and then you and your best friend part ways, crystal in each other's pocket.
Its around 2pm, so you grab some snacks like pinapple, mango, blueberries and strawberries for the beach. Maybe even a joint because it's west coast best coast and you're only young once. You head to the bathroom at the beach, lather up with sunscreen and take a quick mirror selfie to send to your boo. You feel the need to leave the crystal in the changing room, and then take a quick dip in the ocean. You feel high and wet and hungry, and you're so glad you bought some snacks. You get a nice tan, send an email you've been meaning to send, and play your favourite music.
Yeah, you might have laundry to fold and your room is messy from the grwm in the morning, but it feel far and a little inevitable to make it there, but be here now.

I've been wanting to do this for yearrrrs. Finally. FINALLYYY.
It doesn't stick to glass, but it does stick to itself.
100% cotton fabric, prewash and dry.
Cut with a shearing scissors to prevent fraying. (Or hem.)
I opted for a 1:1:1 ratio of beeswax, coconut oil, and pine resin. Double boiler to melt.
Apply less and layer the wax as needed.
Mm... Spreading with a spoon did not work as well as a silicone brush.
Iron under parchment paper to spread + seal. (Or bake at 200⁰ F briefly.)
Hottt water + soap for clean up (hands, utensils, etc.)
Cold water to clean the cloths, as needed.
*A steamer can take out any wax mix spills on the floor. (We listen, and we don't judge )
I love it. It made my kitchen smell like pine and propolis.

🍎*Native* Seed B*mbs.
The local wildlife will love you for it.
TLDR: Mix native seeds with soil, clay, and water, forming them into balls and then letting them dry.
Long form: Native wildflower seeds, compost, clay (powder or clay soil), and water.
Mix Ingredients: Combine the clay and compost in a bowl, ensuring a 3:1 ratio of clay to compost.
Gradually add water while mixing, aiming for a dough-like consistency.
Add Seeds: Incorporate the native wildflower seeds into the mixture.
Form Balls: Pinch off small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, roughly 1-inch in diameter.
Dry and Store: Place the seed balls on a flat surface to dry for 24-48 hours in a cool, shady place. Store the dried balls in a cardboard box until ready to plant.
Distribute: Scatter the seed balls in your desired planting area.
