I think I’m finally getting somewhere

[Gillian Gomer @space__gardener]

Haven’t left the house outside of work in a bit due to anxiety, and the day I choose to go to a mall one town over, there’s a gunshot 1 floor directly below me. No one was hurt thank goodness. Going back inside for awhile longer 😣

[Gillian Gomer @space__gardener]

@sienn_ak Best of luck!!!

[Gillian Gomer @space__gardener]

Emotional because my department sent out an email letting us know they’re doing all they can to save our buildings plants during the upcoming reconstruction and that they understand it will be emotional to say goodbye to the ones that can’t be saved 😭

Thanks everyone!! I do a lot of walking and bus riding, and I’m not sure how well an extra set of tires would fit in my 700 sq ft apartment LOL so I’m gonna wait it out and see 🤞🏻

[Gillian Gomer @space__gardener]

What are snow tires and do I need them? 😬

@MalusButNice Yeah! You squeeze the fruit until it gets soft, then you twist the straw into the skin and then you drink 🍊

The Citrus Sipper is such a core memory of my childhood, you can just climb tangerine, orange, or grapefruit trees and drink citrus juice all day in the summer

The absolute joy I felt stepping outside this morning to finding frost on the ground and ice on my car 💙💙💙 I am actually very excited for winter now that I have some decent coats ❄️
