Catch up post:
I make 2 pie crusts but only one pie because my kid only likes crust. My doggo is my sanity rn. Piano is going great, when I remember to take him. I'm switching his lessons to weekdays since he only does half days we can go directly after school. My partner moved his gaming stuff downstairs & rearranged his room again so this Pic is out of date but I love it anyway. I am good at making chocolate chip cookies finally. Air fryer fun with chicken wings. My partner likes flats & I like the sticks so it works well. I'm back watching the girls again (doggos), just casual. An amazing tasting but fugly chicken pot pie I made from scratch. I think the uglier it is the better it is when it comes to pot pie. And it's been two weeks without Pip already. I will miss you forever my Fat Chicken. Also Happy 420, 😊 ❤️🩹🪴💨!

I just have to brag on this man. He doesn't show emotion like me but he's just been quietly carrying me through. He gets me my comfort foods, & little gifts almost every day & is just standing in the gap until I'm back to center. That means he's just there if I need him, & doesn't ask me what I need (this relieves my mental load & emotional weariness.) He just does things that need doing without needing to be asked, like planning dinner (he just texts me hey put the lasagna in the freezer on, etc) because he knows I'm struggling extra hard with my executive dysfunction rn. He isn't expecting me to bounce back, he's just being my safety net if I need it. He works 12 hour days & still finds the time to make my days easier. He loves me quietly, but loud. He's not much for words, but then words are cheap. This type of love makes grief bearable. This love makes life liveable. I will always be grateful.

In case you need this too. ❤️🩹

Okay. Come on, then. I love you, get up, we are going to keep going. Repeat this to yourself in a mirror or in a whisper or in the shower or in a shout. I love you, get up, keep going.
I am tired too. It’s okay. We will sleep in the car ride over. We will sleep on each other’s shoulders. We will sleep upside down and in the laps of new friends and on the bellies of our lovers and in the hands of better tomorrows. We will sleep and we will wake up rested and we will wake up happy and we will wake up home again.
I love you, get up. It’s time to write “maybe next time” on our gravesite. It’s time to write: it could not kill me, I would not die. It’s time to write a love letter to the sun and our one-act play and the history of our keychains. It is time to write a future where despite everything, we are finally warm and safe.
I love you. I love you. I love you.
Get up. Keep going. We are going to be okay.

From the first to the last. This has been a hard weekend. Just as suddenly as you arrived, you left. 7 years of love, of laughter, of antics. You filled a void in our hearts when you were dropped off to that first tiny basement we ever had as a family of 2, & you made our house a home as a family of 4. How lucky we were, to journey with you. How empty our house is without you. How much you helped, & healed. Thank you for being my sons first best friend, & the keeper of all my sorrows. May you always find the sunbeams. R.I.P. our Pippin Fat Chicken: 2017-2024 💔

Yeah I fell into a vat of espresso depresso. Not my usual time of year for The Big Sad, but here we are again. I'm back to baseline sad, woo 😂. Update on the basement, it's still there. Slowest WIP ever. Update on kids, I still have them. My doggo is the worst for pics but he's still his goofy ass self.
Pip is 7 now & needs occasional grooming help because his junk in the trunk be chunky. I call this towel his protest burrito.
I make a lot of soup because easy & nutrition. Cabbage roll is a family favorite. Not for the kids, thier Rizzoli will not vibe with the soup train. 😒
Have gotten into MTG, I'm not even sure how tbh 😅 but it's a thing now. Btw yes my partner has those hands. 🤤 IYKYK.
Cat spam because omg FLUFFYYY 🥰 & he watches us game chilling like that, it makes me laugh.
New haircut date day.
New mug to celebrate me getting back into clinic admin. Been awhile since I wore scrubs last. Super casual, lots of accommodations, etc. But I'm doing the thing!
I woke up to the dishes all being done one morning when they were on day shift. It meant he got up at 3 am just to do them. And didn't say anything. Just quietly did the thing I most hate in the house because if it's done, I can think better (makes no logical sense, I'm aware, moving on). He quietly loves me so fucking loud. 🫂

Emergency coffee with a friend. I don't have many (like 2 irl) but the ones I have are the reason I'm still here. Get you people who realize you're not doing well & make the time for you: it literally saves your life. Because my old demon still hates its cage, & sometimes I'm too tired to keep the door locked alone. ❤️🩹

They put down protectant for the upstairs floor which I appreciate. Sent him to get me donuts because sugary carbs is always the answer right? There's a fancy zippered door where my basement entry used to be. Half the flooring downstairs & half the walls are/is gone! They got right down to the bones. I keep forgetting to put coffee grounds in so I'm really good at making hot water lately. I also have started wearing circulation socks, which I am not mad about because it actually feels better. They took 2 truckloads to the landfill! That's all for now. This basement is my Groundhog Day 🤣

Busy the past few. My last day with my favorite dog clients, happy the weather is back to normal. My latest book series, the child I read a couple chapters every day. He got a bento box for Xmas & is enjoying packing his lunches. I don't push for healthy things, he eats his veggies & fruit & protein shake every day just after school. Long as he's got things to eat AT school that he likes, I'm good. Still wearing my sweaters (I haven't even had a chance to wear THAT one!). Me before & after Day 1 of construction: insurance came through so they're started on repairs. My partner on lunch date we had without the kids for once. My cat enjoying a nap. Kiddos piano is still going super well! And my cat has a favorite person, for sure. I kinda agree.

What a fucking couple of weeks I tell 'ya. Polar vortex, means minus fifty celsius...that was not fun. At least I have cute tea mugs & tea things. I now send panda stance pics as proof of life to my friends who can't believe I actually live where it's this fucking cold. On the upside my kid has 2 new foods!!! Mr. Noodles (beef or chicken flavors) & fruit to go snacks! My cat is right done with this shit ass winter. More panda stance. Fun fact I have lost almost 15 lbs but my ass is still badonkadonking so my snowsuit is super uncomfortable because it's made for a man with no ass!
I had to move my art supplies from my upstairs craft room because of my partner having to move thier bedroom there. I value quality sleep, bedsharing drives me right fucking nuts so we learned after 3 years that separated bedrooms is awesome especially with shift work & parenting! They normally sleep downstairs but that's being renovated because we had a mini flood over the vortex week. I should title this damn thing basement episodes. 😒 ALSO, our back door just fell off, frame & all. The frost got in between the siding & popped it off. Repaired it good enough until spring. Then we had a lovely day of only minus thirty so the kids went to school & we went grocery shopping. They were out of school because the buses weren't running. It was so cold they grounded some planes so The American got to stay a few extra days! 🤣 Ugh I need a nap but the insurance people still haven't come. Supposedly today, but that's sounding like "When Covid is over." 😅

Kids went back to school this week! I love quiet morning coffee after they leave 😅. Xmas stuff is packed away til next year. Pretty proud of myself I didn't leave it til Spring this year 😆. Board games before video games has been the holiday vibe. The basement flood is still ongoing, insurance is involved now. I'm choosing to just drink coffee about it in between mopping. Shop vac is arriving this evening so that will be great! Muskeg tea with rat root & wild mint for the damn sickness we can't kick. Please get antibiotics, but utilize land based knowledge too. Migraine cap I got is amazing,stays cold 2 whole hours! The cat is spoiled. My partner & his friend The American had thier last game night before The American's vacation is over. Wearing his new crochet hat in a way it wasn't designed but is hilarious. And that's been the last few days.

First week recap: Blinds that I'm replacing with a curtain because exhibit A. My doggo clients first visit of the year! I really need to dust my keyboard but I finally got some good hours in on my current game. I am taking the tree down tomorrow! The ice cream we got looked like a little alien got squished in it. Air fryer grilled cheeses are my new favorite. Hangover soup was the first soup of 2024, & the guys appreciated it. (Partner & his LD bestie went out.) When my cat gets scared the only part of him that puffs is his tail & it's funny every single time. First house problems of the year include our water tank just randomly stopped draining & soaked through the wall. We were replacing the carpet anyway & the damp will be addressed by the contractor we have to get for the claim, then fixed. I'm grateful for our home insurance because it's always something.

Air fryer sandwiches: garlic toast BLT with fried egg & Sriracha mayo, & a garlic toast grilled cheese with taco beef. A calender my friend dropped off because I love all things coffee. My new coffee pot I got for Xmas from my partner. Watch me forget to change the calendar til Halloween now. 🤣 My dog loves watching food cook in the oven. Also he's big mad he has to wear quiet mouth lately since he wants to be a ding dong banana hammock & yell at people for no reason. I made this muzzle specifically to his measurements so itsnot hurting him & he can't wiggle it off & chew it which is how he's ruined all the other ones I bought. We call it quiet mouth, he just sits there mad until we take it off lmao. He has quiet ears too for grooming & fireworks, which is basically a dog snood.

New Years Eve recap: crafted 'til kiddo was in bed, had my one & done adult beverage (the name made me laugh), made homemade crunchwraps, showed the American how to make them (he's on his yearly visit), & played a few games. Fireworks kept upsetting the kiddo & doggo, (cat couldn't care less he was asleep in the spare room by 11 p.m lol) so I gave up trying to hang out with the adults as usual lmao. I hate fireworks so much! I wear earplugs (loops mostly, but headphones a lot too) but my child refuses to wear them to bed, so it's a struggle on holidays to get them to sleep or stay regulated. I did manage to get quiet ears on my dog finally, & surprisingly they work! All the pics are blurry lol. I'll try getting clear ones of him wearing them soon. Highly recommend it!

I look so butch today, I feel great! Emotionally not physically, still have a chest infection. I love how excited my partner is to see the kids open the gifts he got them. The cat loves playing with the wrappings & tape. The Lego was a hit. We got each other the exact same thing! My cat's mad we won't let him dig in the Lego. Took a bunch but these are the highlights. Don't have any of El opening hers because she's not home yet. We don't let the dog downstairs because of the carpet, it's really hard to keep clean. And he'd chew on the stuff we want him to chew on because he's a giant brat. 🤣

We're not doing our Xmas until tomorrow because of work & kid switch schedules (partner is doing 12 hour days rn & kids are at thier other bios.) My partner & I did our stockings last night & one gift this morning tho. I'm just cleaning the house a bit today & puttering. I've been too sick to do anything. Being alone on Christmas is so fucking wierd & surreal. I don't like it.
