Lunar Eclipse 2025 With a Side of Gunshots
I went out to see the eclipse. I was very sleepy, but I’m always mad at myself when I skip these things. So fuck it. You never know when it’s going to be your last eclipse. I watched it from the window initially. At no point did I see the red tint. That’s what I Continue reading

Picking Up Where We Left off…
On Sunday, after my last post, we headed back into Disneyland. We started with a ride on Pinocchio’s Daring Journey. Then we attempted King Arthur’s Carousel, but unfortunately, it was shut down for “technical difficulties.” So instead, we hopped onto Storybook Land Canal Boats and enjoyed the charming miniature scenes. Afterward, we stopped by Maurice’s Continue reading

Farm Adventures and an Early Thanksgiving
Yesterday and today, I couldn’t resist stocking up on more supplies to craft new earrings—it’s just too much fun! I was chatting with a friend about it. I decided in that conversation, I would start wearing earrings all the time. Now, I’m diving deeper into research on different techniques and exploring new ways to personalize Continue reading

Tuesday Tally on the Farm
The week took a nosedive straight into the weekend. By Saturday, I was sick, and I desperately wanted to call out of work. Unfortunately, I’d swapped a shift and calling out would have meant losing my precious Sunday off—essential for a visit to my mom’s. Now, it’s Tuesday, and despite last week’s chaos, this trip Continue reading

Falling for a Turkey at Target
I can’t tell you how excited I was to hit Target with my kid and husband the other day. Sometimes a little retail therapy is just what you need, right? We did what everyone does at Target—wandered aimlessly, exploring aisles as if we’d never seen a store before. I spotted an adult Bluey sweater, which Continue reading

Big Boy No. 4014
I finally got to see it—Union Pacific’s Big Boy No. 4014. And honestly, I can’t overstate what a transformative experience it was. It was one of those rare moments where everything seemed to align perfectly. But to understand why it was so special, let me take you back a little. I work as a dispatcher Continue reading
