Harry Potter and David Goggins are personal must-rereads
What book could you read over and over again? I’ve reread Harry Potter as much as possible since I opened the first book for the second time. Now, I don’t reread other books as much. I reread Can’t Hurt Me by David Goggins once. I’ll probably reread that again. I’d like to reread A Song…

fuck the govt, but congrats, you made me stronger
How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic? The covid pandemic, though utterly unnecessary and absolutely insane, forced me to become stronger and better than I ever was.

reading on the homestead
Why do I never post anymore? Short answer: homesteading is taking so much out of me. Long answer: what little time I do have to myself in the wee hours is spent reading 5 pages. And sometimes, 5 pages is the only amount that I can get in. If that. It makes my little reading…

saturday morning musings
Word vomit post Happy Saturday and yay for shitty pictures I am back to reading War and Peace with my big love muffin (and oh, is she big; and sometimes I curse her out for dragging me. The mug greatly describes her at times. But she’s doing a wonderful job of protecting her livestock babies.)…
