Yesterday I stood in line 20 minutes at the post office.
My toddlers & I got up to the counter & we hear our card machine is broken.
It’s cash only today.
There’s no ATM.
I now need to get my wild toddlers to the bank & back here.
Here’s how I respond & what went down.
I’m a stage 4 breast cancer destroyer making memories as an Ember RV brand ambassador (shout out to that creative email sent while high on Benadryl getting a blood transfusion) one weekend at a time.
@muleysnmustangs I moved 900 miles away from all family to a town of 2,000 ppl. The best thing that helped me at first was church. I felt closer to home being around similar faith, singing similar music, etc & it also introduced me to some great people. It gets better. It takes time, but it does.
Estate planning & management transition has been on my mind lately. For reference, I'm 40 now, parents are upper 60's, kids are 8-12.

Things I’m surprised by tonight: watching rain, snow, ice come down and seeing lightning/listening to thunder…in January
Things I’m not surprised by tonight: that the toddlers been up for 3.5 hours so I can witness said lightning and thunder.
Never try to outsmart an introvert. They don't talk. But when they do, they've been there. Done it. Lived it. Suffered it. And obsessed about it for days & months before saying a word. Your facts come from Instagram. They've been to Google search page 34. We're not the same.
Today they installed a full size working sink in the house. I’ve been using a camper sink for three months.
Going from a camper sink to a normal sink makes a normal sink feel YUGEEEE #happydance 💃🏽🙌🏼
Tonight I sit outside looking up at a clear sky full of stars and rocking our daughter to sleep while feeling the highest of highs - having just moved to the farm, and feeling the lowest of lows - mourning the loss of my grandpa.
Life is hard.
I didn’t realize how much of an old hag I’ve turned into until tonight when I find myself staring out the kitchen window at 9:45pm wondering when the neighbors are going to stop letting off fireworks so it hopefully doesn’t wake the baby up.
