Eleven years ago was crazy tomato season with my one year old sidekick and puppy.

Eight years ago I was on a solo trip in Hawaii.

Before and after. I got it in 2015 after seeing similar art on here. I could not find a credit for it. A few years ago I saw on IG that a random woman has the same tattoo in the same spot so I had to message her. I also have a version of it hanging in my room that I got on Zulily a few years ago.

So the med increase may be helping more than I thought. I’ve been tackling little things all around the house that I’ve put off for months. Multiple of them in a single day! My office is still a work in progress but it’s nice progress is actually happening. I need to paint the green wall and then also hang the Brandon Boyd print my mom got me for Christmas.

I had a gnarly dream last night where my ex-husband had kidnapped me and in his manic, not tethered to reality state (like the one he went into after I left him) was demanding that we get back together and I adopt his daughter. I was trying to discreetly access my cell phone which was by my feet and actively assessing when would be the best time to jump out of a moving car. What is so interesting to me is that in those kinds of dreams (which happen a few times a year) I don’t feel scared or panicked, moreso annoyed and just waiting for it to be over, knowing I’ll escape safely. So I have that going for me. But ick. Just shy of six years until I can block him everywhere forever! A celebration will be had.

My mornings are still slower to get with the program than they used to be. Like I could roll out of bed and get myself ready and do all my morning chores and get out the door in like 20 minutes. Now it takes forever. I need to get my ass in gear for a call with the county attorneys office at nine and a billion other things. Related: if anyone knows a rich benefactor who would like to donate oodles of money to a domestic abuse nonprofit, send them my way. I applied for over $300k in grants last night and need to keep going.

IG banned me from going live for a year because I reposted a video that asked you to think critically about Kylie Jenner’s partnership with Meta AI. It was not inflammatory or anything even slightly offensive. It is still up on Barrett Pall’s page, so it obviously doesn’t violate their actual guidelines. If not for work I’d delete both my accounts (IG and FB). Instead I’ll only log into them when I have to for work stuff.
