I hope both of you had a day that was delightful and satisfying in every way!!


These drawings are ancient history, but I hope they will be fun to see again all the same :D




Snape and Spock - separated at birth?

A very intense twelve-ish hours.

We met while I was in Arizona, in early March. It was about 10 in the morning when this handsome stranger walked onto the property, unannounced. He walked toward me and looked me right in the eye. His were a beautiful green.

I haven't left Arizona yet, so I am roasting. Wednesday looks like it will be the first day of 100º F. A great time to get gone. It's March. It's never 100º in March. Climate be changin' yo.

I'm pleased to say that my mental health is better than it has been in a long time! I'm trying to prioritise the things I want to do (that for whatever reason I just don't do). Such as engaging with friends, replying to comments, finishing artwork, and posting here! and there!*

...can you believe that I'm po-oh-oh-ohsting..?🎶

Hey fam, wassup?

I am once again in Mexico, this time to pick up my car. I got it yesterday and it looks amazing!



Then it naturally got very dusty overnight and some seagulls left a few gifts on it, which I tried to clean off, but in the next pic you can see that the windshield is still a mess.

Bro#6 and I went to the beach to take this beauty shot:



A few moments later I got the car stuck in the sand, because I listen to NO MAN! Rowr!
A nice hombre came up and helped us get unstuck and Bro#6 was cranky for hours afterwards. LOL

There is so much more to report, all those things in the poll from before and also my One Day Love Affaire and Serious Prepping for the Ball. Where is my fairy godmother when I need her?

I am driving back to AZ in the morning and will be back to CA a few days later.

I hope every one of you are happy and doing well 🩷

You little redheaded scamp! How old are you now? Wait - don't tell me. You'll always be 14 in my mind :D



fun fact:

Ronald Weasley is an anagram of "Lose Wand Early". :P

Besties, I just got back from Mexico. I brought my car down to get it painted and have the body work cleaned up. I managed to get a big ol' scrape whilst in the Costco parking lot. Oops. I was very excited because the guy had the exact paint I have always wanted a car to be and the price was Very Good Indeed.

Took the Amtrak back to L.A. When it's ready I'll take the train back and go pick it up.

Here are the Regular Shots of the Beach I seem to always post after a trip.

Since so many of you let me know you were interested in whatever I wanted to write about, I am going to start with BroNumber1 and his cancer diagnosis. How fun!!

He is a really experienced and talented ballroom dancer (trophies almost as tall as me!) (I'm really not tall). He's lived in Las Vegas for close to 40 years. He loves it there because there are a lot of places to go ballroom dancing.

He is 16 years older than me, and he has always looked out for me. We still talk pretty frequently, and at first, all he would say was that he had an issue with his prostate. Recently, he admitted that it's cancer. I had heard some family rumors that he was not going to treat it, which upset me. When we next spoke, he said he wasn't going to treat it because there was nothing to do but watch it and see if it gets worse. (Conveniently, my friend DE was also recently diagnosed with very low-risk prostate cancer, and he gave me all the details.)

Whew. However, there are still a couple of things that have been watched for years and that are overdue for removal: Jackass1 and Jackass2.

See, BroNumber1 is a bit of a pushover. Because of being nonconfrontational, he has a horrible roommate: Jackass1. This twat actually burned down BN1's condo a couple of years ago. Once it was all fixed up again, my passive BN1 let that careless firebug move back in. Not only that - he let another guy move in as well.

I am convinced they treat BN1 like a chump. He's always told me it's fine, but it looks like he is ready for those creeps to GTFO. So, Dr MyWitch and Nurse BroNumber5 are scrubbing up.

I'm looking into what it takes to legally oust squatters in Vegas. (There was talk of rifles and shovels and the desert at night, lol, but in the end, we decided that's not it.)

The one cancer is stable. Time to eradicate the human cancers. Cut deep and as thoroughly as possible, and pray they don't ever come back. I really want BroNumber1 to be able to relax in his own home.

this made me chuckle:


Thanks for reading!

Popped in here to tell you guys that I appreciate you and am glad you are here! Your fics, your comments, your posts, your friendship - it means the world to me.

I'm going to be here more often. I know I've said it before but this time this time this time - well, I'll do my best.

I'm very excited because my seamstress is coming over tomorrow night to talk about my robe à la française gown. This whole ball deal is starting to feel really real!

I've had some difficult things these last few months, but I am feeling a bit better now. Let me know if you would rather:


And now, please enjoy my new favorite song, from Qveen Herby!



*also feeling some type a way at Dreamwidth

Today I saw notifications from livejournal that both therealsnape and kellychambliss had posted. And somehow, I knew.

lash_larue is gone.

I haven't been here in so long that I didn't even realize she was in hospital. Knowing she passed with love around her, and with the messages you all sent, is a comfort. How I wish I had checked in and been part of that.

Lash was so funny and so wise and so generous and so kind. When I lived in Dublin, she sent me an amazing, short, and hilarious book: Fuck That - An Honest Meditation. I just pulled it from my shelf and reread it, remembering how much it has helped me when I was struggling, in Dublin and at other times. Reading it felt like a hug from Lash, letting me know that she knows I care and that she cares back.

There is comfort, too, in the messages we shared, in reading her amazing, wonderfully written stories, and her always delightful and/or incredibly helpful comments.

Oh dear Lash, you will be missed. 💔
