Sitting on the edge of the tub because I sort of don't want to take a shower even though I know full well it will make me feel like a human again. Very very very close to moving into my house. Not just a new rental. My place. Staggering at times but I'm so ready.

Can’t remember what my personality is supposed to be like I wish I had written it down

Watching people wander through your house is a unique experience to be sure, but I do love my tiny! #mytiny #harmonytinyhomes #tinyliving #tinyhouse #tinyhouseshow #tinyhome #homesweettinyhome (at The Wild Animal Sanctuary)

Downsizing is NOT glamorous but this is about 75% of what I plan to put in the tiny. Is it still too much tho? #tinyhouse #tinyliving #livebiginatinyhouse #mytiny #tinyhouseliving #tinyhome #tinyhouses

Yard sale update!

Made 300 before it started to rain. Not bad for a small town yard sale.

[wildercactus-blog]

Why yes I am going to try to sell all my shit at a yard sale tomorrow. Why yes I will probably only get 3 hours of sleep.

Why no nothing has a price on it. Thank all the gods for a chiropractor appointment on Monday. And I get to see the finished house on Friday or Saturday of next week. What or how is my life?

So my Grandma apparently is running a plant hospital and rehabilitation center. She can get anything to grow abundantly, so in the past few decades people have literally started dropping off sick and dying plants to her and she would nurse them back to health and return them. She only charges a single clipping from each of the plants she nurses. 🌱🌿🍃I’m so proud of my Plant Doctor Grandma! 😌

[godswerepoetsonce]

This is amazing! Does she take notes of her work?

[candiikismet]

Yes she does. She has a whole journal that details care for certain diseases and plants. She takes it so seriously.

[godswerepoetsonce]

Does she share her notes at all? I want to get better at recognizing the frailties of plants in different conditions and if they are public at all I would love to read your grandmother’s work.

[candiikismet]

I will to her about getting her plant research published. She has the funniest notes in there too. Reminders about which plants belong to who, Recipes for natural bug-be-gone, and elaborate descriptions of blooms and even some pressed flowers in there. She’s so important in our community and she also grows sugar cane and vegetables she just gives away.

[dopenmind]

This is incredible.

[candiikismet]

She says she has over 250 potted “tenants” at her home right now. Between 30 to 40 belong to other people and she’s just nursing them. And countless “permanent residents” in the ground.

[note-a-bear]

So, can we like, get her a show or something? Because she seems so awesome

BEDTIME YOGA

After a long and hard day at work, school or maybe at the gym a bit of stretching can be nice way to gear down for the night and get ready to sleep. Yoga can help you do that by calming your mind and relieving tension in your body.

Have you ever met somebody who makes you realize you never actually had feelings for anybody else before them?
