The spirit of this whitetail deer called to me more strongly than I’ve ever experienced before.

#I can reblog with the story of how I found them if people are interested #they really did call to me #like I heard a whitetail huff and everything #mousemumbles #animal bones

Finally migraine free after two days straight and headache free after a week! These were in addition to mundane efforts (rest, hydration, nourishing food, EO roll-ons and arnica CBD cream) and prescription + OTC medications. I did create a new sigil and add that on as well, but didn’t get a pic.

My muscles are relaxed

Ease my migraine

Ease my neck pain

My headache goes away

My back is relaxed and free from pain

My pain is manageable

My shoulders are relaxed and free from pain (not pictured)

If you’re looking for a more discreet way to use sigils to help with symptoms, here are a few tips:

Draw somewhere that can be easily covered

Draw with oils, balms, pain cream or lotion.

Draw with water and let it evaporate, or by tracing your finger on your skin

Draw on the inside of a bandaid (also nice because you can place it wherever you’d like if there’s a certain spot the pain feels worse)

Draw on a piece of paper and keep it on your person

I will say I personally find these more effective if they’re physically on your body, but I’ve definitely had sigils work while drawn on paper and in my pocket. There is something to be said about the gentleness of drawing on your hopes for ease and improvement, and the tangibility of something you can see when so much of your suffering and efforts feel invisible.

#apologies for spamming everyone with sigils over the past few days!#but it does seem like some people are discovering them for the first time and giving them a try and I truly hope they help!#spoonie sigil #mousemumbles #ok to reblog!

I have ten nature journals (and a final project) due next Wednesday to complete the master naturalist program. I’ve been spending a ton of time in the field but slacking when it comes to journaling about it, so I’m catching up today!

I had to finish the Saw-whet and California Tortoiseshell pages today because I was hit with some joint pain and unable to write clearly and then forgot to finish them.

My goal is to get the sketches done for all five (I’ve done Mourning Cloak and American Avocet so far), and maybe add some color. I’ve been using this homework as a way to play around with some art mediums (and subjects) I’m less familiar with, but I couldn’t resist doing a few tracking-focused ones!

#I was laughing at myself because I’ve been stressing about this #and then spent 15 minutes picking apart an owl pellet and was like: oh yeah this is fun!#same with reading up on species and writing down the info #I’d forgotten how much it helps build your knowledge base #I’ve been in the pits of depression recently so focusing on being outside was what I needed #but I also love learning and I’m glad I’m starting to feel drawn to it again!#I’ve also only ever done tracking journals with a pencil but tracing over them with a pen turned out really cool and a lot neater looking #mousemumbles

I’ve been slowly building my wool collection which makes each winter more comfortable than the last! I made the bag many, many years ago, the lighter leather was my great grandfather’s (who died before I was born which means the leather is likely much older than me). The darker leather I traded elderberry syrup for a big piece of it from a friend who bow hunts for meat.

#the stitching on the bag is just starting to show some wear and tear after probably fifteen years?#I just used sewing thread because that’s what I had at the time #but I’d like to use either some dogbane cordage or leather strips for it this time around!#I know I have a whole bundle of cordage already I just need to figure out where I stuck it #and I still have more of both of the leathers #this bag is going to last a lifetime!#mousemumbles

Debating driving to an area that I know Short-eared Owls like to hunt in for Superb Owl Sunday.

Luckily it’s not like one small area that draws birders, it’s a whole valley and if you’re lucky you’ll find one. I strongly dislike when birders mob together looking for owls and I refuse to be a part of that.

#it is 90 miles away and I really can’t afford to spend more money on gas #butttt I dreamt of owls all night #also getting a late start to the day but SEO are daytime hunters #mousemumbles

My sweet boy is home from the animal hospital ❤️ 2025 keeps on hitting me while I’m down and I’ve honestly been feeling sorry for myself the last few days. But I got to bring him home earlier than expected, the bill was lower than anticipated (still thousands) and there was a rainbow over our valley when I got home. I’ve managed to hold onto hope despite a year full of loss and hardship and so much bullshit, and I believe some gentler times are in the near future.

#mousemumbles #it’s been a year y’all #may 2026 be gentler on us
