it's just me and this knot in my back against the world <3


the knot is from figure skating & i will learn nothing and continue to skate as much as possible <3



my massage therapist's elbow is going to fix everything on tuesday <3

....already itching to make my NaNo thread....

The plot of my book (bunny rom com) is playing out in real time again!

I learned over the weekend that Petco has decided to reverse an earlier promise to not sell rabbits in store, and they will now be selling baby bunnies in store.

This is bad.

* Bunnies live 10+ years.
* Bunnies need large enclosures and time to play outside of their enclosure daily. (NOT outside hutches and NOT anything they sell for rabbits in pet stores).
* Bunnies need enrichment or they will eat your carpet, your baseboards, your door frames, and anything else they want. (and even with enrichment they still might eat all sorts of bad things).
* Bunnies need specialized vet care. They need a vaccine for a deadly virus (referred to as "bunny ebola") with a yearly booster.
* Bunnies need a very specific diet so you don't ruin their teeth and their digestive systems.
* Bunnies need daily socialization with a human or a bunny friend.

Don't get me wrong, they are WONDERFUL pets. Highly, highly recommend. But bunnies aren't the kind of pet to get on a whim. Please do your research. They deserve better.

DO NOT BUY A BUNNY FROM PETCO OR ANY PET STORE. I know they're cute. Oh my GOSH they're cute.

I promise you that there is at least one bunny rescue in your area that would LOVE to help get you set up to adopt one of their bunnies and save a life.

I've had bunnies for over 11 years now -- Neville the bunny & Hayley the bunny <3 <3 I'm ALWAYS happy to talk bunnies to anyone interested in getting one/knowing more about them in general.

And if you're feeling bold and want to send an email to Petco ethics -- I've got a template from one of my bunny groups I'd be happy to share along with the right email!


I need an agent and then an editor to love bunny rom com as much as I do so I can publish it and then assemble my bunny saving army to take over the world.

I've been working on my autumn novel with autumn ambience videos playing on youtube for so long I tricked myself into believing it's crisp outside on this dreary day.

Imagine my surprise when I went outside and realized that it's still in fact 80°F and it's only october in my book.

fell asleep to a thunderstorm, slept for 10 hours, woke up to it still rainy, and it's a three day weekend.
I will now take over the world.
thank you.

morning writing is all fun and games until you get into a flow state and then have to stop so you can go do your day job.


I actually enjoy my day job now, but still

happy cake date slightly belatedly!

Ten years ago today, I moved away from my hometown for grad school. It was me and Neville the bunny in this tiny, terrible apartment, and I knew exactly zero people in the city, or even the state that I moved to. The first six months were the loneliest of my entire life to date. I told myself that if I hated it after two years when my program was done, I'd just lick my wounds and move back home.

I didn't move back home. One of the things I'm most proud of in life, is the life I built for myself in the last ten years.

Ten years ago I got Greek food for dinner with my family after they helped me move into my new apartment. The following weekend I ran a 5k through a scenic part of downtown. Tonight, husband and I got Greek food (at a different restaurant because the other one closed) and then we walked that 5k route (because I haven't ran since that 5k lol).

Sometimes leaping out of your comfort zone pays off <3
