I think I should be recovered enough from my exhausting trip and drive home that I can find some fun way to celebrate this day. Iāll have to think of what Iād like to make (other than a tea blendā¦ but let me tell you Iāve created an awesome one to unwind before bed!!)
I mean how can she NOT be a superstar with a right in her name? Thank you for being one of the most amazing people on the forum!
I am trying to clean up after 5 days of my SO being on his own with the cats , getting my seedlings out on the porch to start hardening off before planting, my basil out in itās summer home, washing what feels like 2 weeks of clothes and towels, shopping for food because apparently Iām the only one who does and trying to figure out what I need to do to go about transferring my MILs out of state vehicle title to me in this state. sigh Itās a lot. And then I need to clean out and detail my elantra to sell it - which means me listing it, answering calls, meeting peopleā¦ ugh. Nope, I canāt think about that yet.
My plan for today is pick up 2 things to make dinner, figure out what fun thing Iāll make tomorrow for Herbalist Day, finish laundry, work on paperwork for the title transfer, do yoga, pay bills and make dinner ā¦ this already feels too long
Oh noā¦ I hadnāt realizedā¦ or plannedā¦ I have no clue what I will do if anything.
Thank you everyone! Itās exciting but also kind of likeā¦ umā¦ I donāt feel like I should be a Nana at this ageā¦ butā¦ here we areā¦ then I remembered my son is 24 & his fiance is 27ā¦ sooooā¦ now I feel a lot older
@BryWisteria in preparation for tomorrow I have 2 things on my list:
ā Both images are from FaceBook at some point in time before I deleted the account either in 2021 or 2022ā¦ (I had an account for 13 years so no idea when or which page they came from)
I wound up looking for said oracle cards in a very safe place to find other things that made me goā¦ Huh, so thatās where that is, OR Oh look, I have 2 of the same things that I only need 1 of them!
@Sivonnah, I honestly donāt know. Sometimes, senior centers, Habitat for Humanity Restore, or service centers will take medical equipment. As far as selling themā¦ I have no idea. I have medical equipment, mostly from when my birth mother passed, that I have no idea what to do with because there arenāt places here that will take them as donations or sales. Iām not on FaceBook anymore, so Iām not sure how to do that or ship them. Iām in the same conundrum with many things Iāve acquired in my basement from my Dad, Mom, Brother, Grandmother, Birth Mother, then my own family. All of it wound up in my basement
@Susurrus Congratulations @Amethyst Hope youāre week is good and you catch up on the naps (siesta) @Ostara Youāre job is taking off, youāre flying high lovely. @starborn@Mystique All these Etsy horror stories, I think itās fate saying to me, no more spending . You ever thought about doing readings on YouTube @starborn @marsha Hope the chaos gives you a little breather. @CelestiaMoon I love that word Enshittification fabulous word @celineelise Well done in doing the taxes. @MeganB I do love your YouTube channel though @Artemisia I hope the mundane eases a bit, and you have a great Herbalist day
Thank you for that if I decide to go that route Iāll let you know. I think for now I just need to offload some of the things I already have and then make things as gifts or when my family/friends ask me to lol
Honestly, Iāve even considered quitting YouTube because the joy for making videos comes and goes, but responding to comments gives me anxiety
I havenāt made a decision yet, but I do know that in the future my videos will get very scarce I canāt put myself on a schedule because then it becomes too much, but then it becomes a huge circling round thing because if you donāt post then the algorithm doesnāt show your videos to people (even doesnāt notify the people who are subscribed to you) and then it becomes an issue of likeā¦ why post if no one is going to see it? itās just a whole thing that my brain gets very muddled over.
You may discover you post more when you donāt have a schedule for yourself. I find that when I crochet things I want to make Iām more willing to do it. But when I was selling on Etsy band taking orders, I got to where it was stressful with timelines and I started hating it.
Iām a bit tardy to the party here but congrats @starborn, itās well deserved!
Can definitely relate, Iām in a huge mess myself rn. I have anxiety everyday and I just try to cope and survive one day at a time. I try to answer all the posts as well but I mostly end up reading everyoneās replies and like them. Just to feel like Iām participating a little bit. I do not handle chaos that well.
Thatās sometimes been true for me lol not counting the random YouTube Short, my last public (non-member) video was a month ago right to the date itās a matter of time for me right now and itās only going to get worse later in the year
Thank you @Nacurro! He is perfect & I canāt believe how much as a newborn he looks almost exactly like my oldest son as a newborn
My life is perpetual chaos. Usually, Iām okay with moving through it, but the last year, well, Iām going to say, has been more challenging than expected. So sometimes I do the same thing & my goal is to exist. I feel like maybe the dust is starting to settle down Heavy on the starting
Iām more of a chaos witch now than I was, which isnāt bad. Finding where my footing needs to be daily is a bit challenging. Big hugs I have anxiety & panic disorder, which can complicate things for me, too.
thatās a cool word I looked it up because I thought maybe you made it up but it came out in Nov 2022 so now Iām definitely gonna be using it but this is the first time Iāve ever heard it used.
right in her name? Thank you for being one of the most amazing people on the forum!

Bundles of chaos left to their own devices for almost a week sounds like a big olā mess to return to. 
if I decide to go that route Iāll let you know. I think for now I just need to offload some of the things I already have and then make things as gifts or when my family/friends ask me to lol
, itās the only form of āsocial mediaā I use. But, seriously, if itās alot of stress you gotta do whatās good for you.
