Photos courtesy of my dad. What kind of weird animals do we see assessing? Alpacas are nice, but we've seen them before. Rare, but not unique at all. Miniature cattle. OK, that's a first, but not too wild… we've seen miniature horses before, so miniature cattle aren't too much of a stretch. Now a CAMEL … Continue reading Things We See As A Property Assessor
My mother's nickname is Otter. She competed in college level swimming, and earned it there. You may have seen my post where I explained that I canceled the preorder for Captured Pawn to care for my mother in hospice. Currently my mom is having a very slow heart attack. Heart event? She has chosen not … Continue reading Hospice Update
So I THOUGHT June was NaNoWriMo, but apparently it's July. Which works out amazing because June was a disaster of a month. In the last two months, my husband broke his leg, a tree came down on our neighbor's stuff and insurance denied the claim, our beloved dog died, we lost two fillings, and the … Continue reading NaNoWriMo! Also Zombie Omegaverse?
Literally the day before Tundra passed, we had a storm system sweep through. Tundra was usually nervous during storms and would tip over water buckets, but this time he suddenly jumped up and tried to tip over my husband's wheelchair, which was unusual. After the storm passed we discovered what he had been trying to … Continue reading When It Rains It Pours

They found bleeding in his abdomen and thought it … Continue reading He Was the Bestest Boy 10/10/10 – 06/13/24

I just didn't want the deadline stress hanging over me while I was juggling everything that needs to get done AND editing. That said I'm editing a scene a day, which is my goal. Captured Pawn is at … Continue reading Some Stress Rambling
So the good news is that I'm no longer having ideation, my drastic med changes worked, and I'm feeling way better. The bad news is that my husband broke the SNOT out of his leg, and so I'm caring for him. EIGHT PIECES, Y'ALL. Plus shards. He has SO MUCH hardware in his leg now. … Continue reading Let’s Play Good News, Bad News
I am ridiculously depressed, and I'm stepping back on a lot of things to try and get my stress levels under control. I'll be calling my psychiatrist on Monday to address this, don't worry, and I have a support system. But I'm having ideation, and I need to hunker down and stick this out.
I took the Truity Enneagram Test, which you can find here: https://www.truity.com/test/enneagram-personality-test I came out type 4 Individualistic as my main. I even paid for the results. o.O I'd say they were pretty accurate for mine, and my husband's to my eye were very accurate. I mean, I'm a creative and bipolar, so it was … Continue reading Truity Enneagram Test
I'm getting better at baking sourdough, and I have a healthy starter. Here is this week's loaf!
