It's been an exciting couple of days since I left Arizona - one highlight being my flight to the Central Coast of CA, which had to take evasive maneuvers during the landing approach, to hop over a plane that flew under us... 😳
Hoping for a more boring flight this time! 😅
I'm at LAX, getting ready to board my first flight to London!!! My wonderful friend dwp* (*her nickname) invited me on this trip of a lifetime over a year ago - today is the Great and Fateful Day!
😂
Ever take a nap so good that you woke up and thought you missed work? But it’s Sunday. And you’re an egret.

There's a new version of this post
It's 8:35 pm here in AZ. I leave tomorrow AM for California & almost a month overseas. It's that point in the travel process when I start to feel frazzled about getting everything done in time. Which means it's when I stick my hair up out of the way with @Blackwing pencils! 😅
So in 24 hours, I'll be on a plane to California; and on Sunday my friend and I will fly out of LAX to begin an epic journey to England and Scotland!! It will be hard to leave my works-in-progress, but hardest of all to leave the pups! ❤️
Last night's Blue Supermoon rose out of a thundercloud! There were quick flashes of lightning off to the side, while the moon was on center stage. It was lovely to watch, and totally worth the mosquito bites.

I was drowning in overthinking today. @garyvee's post blew away the panicky cobwebs! It's REALLY this simple!!
Or as my dad always says: "All you gotta do is do it." 😅
A lot of you are talking big big big game …”I’m gonna be a billionaire” “I’m the next Drake” “I’m gonna be bezos” “I’m the next Oprah” “im gonna change the XYZ” … watch this video and realllly understand this, like really let it sink in” I love y’all but man we need to get that work ethic to match your mouths 💛💛💛💛💛💛
This is my last 3 months in a nutshell. April saw my dad in the ER; May was fighting for health & mobility; June was a bout with Covid for myself & my 80+ folks. Today I sliced my finger open on a metal screen.🤦♀️But we're climbing back up!! Yesterday my dad forgot to use a cane!
Hello World!
Whew. I almost buckled under the overwhelm of the last 6 months. But this weekend the @Cubs @ChicagoCubsUK re-inspired my heart, & my valued friend @Joi_the_Artist reminded me of the ecstatic joy of history-geek obsessions! I feel ready for the 2nd half of 2023!🎇
I survived this, and I've never seen it described better.
Please read this thread!!
Then have a safe and happy New Year celebration! ❤️🎉🥳
Hello, world!
I had to focus my mental and emotional resources on travel for work and family the last few weeks. I've returned to find things are a bit wild in here right now.
Everyone ok? You all right?
I sneaked up early in the sleety Alaskan dark to wait for a chance at @Comic_Con returning reg tickets. Like old times! Except niece (4) & nephew (3) awoke during the tech delay. "Auntie, are you done yet?" 😳😅
Me: "Would you like me to read you the words?"
J: "No, I'm just reading the Blippi."
Blippi, like Disney+, is saving this Auntie's bacon. 😅

My little niece (age 4) just saw this tweet over my shoulder. "Ariel! It's Ariel! She's so beautiful!" ☺️❤️ @HalleBailey
Kidlets are ASLEEP. 😵 I started laundry. Must wash dishes so we don't have to eat off paper plates tomorrow, clean out pet space soaked with upended water bowl, & take a shower before littles wake up for potty. Oh and: must remember to feed the food (cockroaches for the lizard).
Rat terrier *will not stop barking* at the night.
Niece (age 4): "It's ok, Bud is just trying to protect us. He's a gardener."
❤️
Nephew (age 3) has just decided my name is "Four."
"Hey, Four, feed the fish!"
Please at least call me Red Four.
