the autoimmune hippie.

Laughter is immeasurable. Be joyful though you have considered all the facts. . . Practice resurrection. – Wendell Berry

  • merry everything and a happy always.

    Here in the Hippie Hut, my dear ones are getting back to their regular schedules – and I am recovering from a busy and wonderful Christmas week (complete with a cold and sore throat now, of course). We have had the best holiday season, with lots of friends and fun and family time. On Saturday,… Read more

  • dog days.

    The past two days here in the Hippie Hut have been spent at our amazing vet’s office. On Monday, we were there with Henry Petunia for a visit with Dr. Wright where he was checked out and patched up with some antibiotics for the UTI issues that tend to plague him as a diabetic puppy.… Read more

  • buying dirt.

    So me – and about 8 million other country music fans 🙂 – fell in love with a Jordan Davis song he recorded with Luke Bryan called Buy Dirt that’s been a huge hit. (In fact, Bug and I were lucky enough to hear Luke sing it the last time we saw his show. So… Read more

  • happy national henry day.

    As today’s title indicates, it is National Henry Day. Of course, this means we must take a moment to celebrate the joy that our Henry Petunia brings to our family. We love him so so much. ❤ As it is National Henry Day, I was thinking on well known Henrys worth celebrating today who share… Read more

  • a (special) triple play tonight – and my better half is the best.

    As I write to y’all now, the house is quiet except for Henry snoring next to me. Laundry is folded, order has been restored to the kitchen for the day, and I am so sleepy. Earlier tonight, we settled in for our dinner and baseball date night (an aside – the Braves package for my… Read more

  • fare thee well, good ol’ grateful dead.

    Y’all, I’m in my big feels because Sunday, the 16th, was the final Dead and Company show. Though it was played at Oracle Park in San Francisco, we were fortunate to be able to stream it – so no one had to miss out (even with some initial technical difficulties). As always in the Hippie… Read more

  • happy national sour candy day.

    Oy, friends. I am super behind – with several posts to share – but med adjustments and crazy weather knocking me on my tail and many doctors appointments, among other things, have just had me all out of sorts. I’m hoping to get caught up over the rest of this week and next – but… Read more

  • world giraffe day.

    After some busy weeks of conference and many doctor’s appointments with the pneumonia and Covid fatigue still holding on tight, this spoonie body is feeling oh-so-rough and has just really cried “uncle” the past few days – so I am down for the count. Sometimes that is just the chronic illness life – and I… Read more

  • spring planting.

    Especially during times of illness, my anxieties are really kicking – and I am so grateful for spring time and planting season as it just makes my heart smile. This weekend, I noticed that it was “Plant Something Day” and “Plant a Lemon Tree Day.” Those worked out well – as we already had some… Read more

  • husband appreciation day.

    I read that today, the third Saturday in April, is Husband Appreciation Day. I don’t have enough words to say for all my husband is to me and our family or enough thank yous for all he does for us. He is my best friend and my very favoritest. Every day, I look forward to… Read more
