Hornsby, the cuddly rhino in an argyle sweater: I have a present for you! We're going to be the Bestest Of Friends! It's a Western-style stone I made!

Me: WTF is a "Western-style stone"?

*Places it in my yard*

Jesus goddamn Hornsby, what's with the mixed signals? Do you want to come over to listen to darkwave and be my no titty goth gf or are you planning to do a murder on me? WHAT DOES THIS MEAN

Yeah, I dress up a little to go for a walk because it's something I have control over. Trying to keep it cheerful, but I miss having destinations or even being able to stop in the park. #FineFemmeFriday

Saving my energy to cook an actual meal tonight (dinner is the one time when everyone in the house eats together) and I decided to try these pizza pops that J brought home because, quote: "they were on sale, and I wanted to find out what the fuck" and the fuck is that they taste eerily like a McDonalds cheeseburger without the pickle (the best part, imho), but the texture is wrong wrong wrong like an alien primordial cheeseburger slurry

I want to wear this dress and go out for a picnic, but I'm going to have to settle for trying to feel a bit energized before hitting the kitchen to make dinner.

"Cuz I Love You" on vinyl arrived in the mail today, and it's been a grip since I've seen a Parental Advisory sticker so of course I was like, "Guess who's the parent now, bitch."

I'm trying to find something to smile about every day if it fucking kills me. Do I kind of match these red berries? Hell yeah, good enough ❤️

One of those half cloud/half sun/fully pastel rainy spring skies.

Tried a new to me beef pie recipe last night, and it was all right straight from the oven but wildly improved after sitting in the fridge overnight and made a pretty great breakfast. (The side is garlic broccoli.) Might try a lentil pie next time, because that would be way better with the buttery crust. #FediKitchen

It's late at night, it felt good to unwind in my sleepwear, and I wanted to appreciate myself from an angle I usually can't.

I forgot I ordered this print a while back, it came in the mail yesterday and when I opened it this afternoon I started ugly laughing. I can't get a frame for it right now, so it's attached to the sleeve it came in and propped on the shelf near my record player. "Everything Is Fine", indeed.

("Ten Of Swords Everything Is Fine" from the Modern Witch Tarot by Lisa Sterle.)

TFW things happen so much at a pace that's hard to grasp, yet spring still brings forth the little yellow flowers and there's opposing reasons to appreciate them in the moment

Looks like home food in the pan, looks like a mess of casserole on the plate, feels like comfort food and breakfast in my belly

Getting ready to put tonight's dinner in the oven, a Spanish tortilla/egg casserole dish using up leftovers from the last few days:

- pulled pork
- roasted potatoes
- roasted asparagus
- sauteed peppers and onions with balsamic glaze

It's been a while since I've made something like this, fingers crossed it comes out evenly cooked 🤞

First night of spring: magnolias that seemingly came up overnight and the evening star
#florespondence

Current goal: Go out for a walk every night after dinner as long as the weather and circumstances permit.

In the age of social distancing nobody can pinch you for not wearing green, but I'm still going hard and adding in snakes (dead and alive) for luck.

The sky tonight was milky lilac, in a way that actually gave credence to old songs about purple twilight. It felt calming and refreshing to walk toward a pretty colour and to have a few moments to hope for spring and possibility.

How cute is this cloud?! I signed up for a weaving workshop thinking that this was a technique I didn't know, but it's just plain weave that puffs up because the roving is too thick to lay flat with the warp. It was worth it though, because weaving on a shaped frame is a lot of fun, and pretty chill. Since you aren't going to take it off the loom, there's not as much worry about maintaining tension.

This dress is great because it's a lot like a 1940s Love Letters print, but the envelopes being outlines instead of solid makes me think of an old school text messaging icon or a DM slide.

(The necklace is one I've had for years and years, and has a quote from Hamlet on it "Love all, trust a few. This above all: To thine own self be true" which is "Live Laugh Love" for theatre nerds and kids who took English Lit as an elective.)
