The day before yesterday my hive swarmed into a tree on the other side of the fence, at least 60 feet high. NO WAY I could reach them. All I could do is watch them from my sundeck, (cried a little) for 25 hours they hung in that tree. I stopped watching them, went on with my life. Then today, I'm suited up whippersnipping around the remaining hive. And lo and behold, the little stinkers had occupied the next box over, one of my dead outs from last winter that I haven't had a chance to get to. My partner said they just had to "redo the kitchen and bath" before moving in. LOL. I can't be 100% certain it's the same swarm because I didn't see them go in, but I'm fairly sure as there were no bees in that hive when the others were swarming. I have given up second (or third) guessing what the wee girls will do. Carry on little ones. Carry on.

“I blew up. I had tears in my eyes because I was so upset. I grabbed the guitar, and I just ripped through it”: Elliot Easton on the emotional rollercoaster that helped him record one of his most iconic guitar solos

The past few weeks have been an emotional whirlwind, starting with the shocking news of my layoff right before celebrating my first Mother’s Day as a trans woman with my mom, who was visiting from Mexico. The pain and disbelief were overwhelming, and I found myself spiraling into anxiety and sadness. However, amidst the chaos, there were moments of unexpected joy, like witnessing the Northern Lights for the first time and sharing a heartfelt Mother's Day celebration with my family. These experiences reminded me of the beauty in life, even when faced with adversity.

Celebrating Mother's Day with my mom, despite the recent turmoil, brought a sense of unity and love that I deeply needed. Her acceptance and joy in being part of my first Mother's Day as a trans woman filled my heart with hope. The days that followed were a blend of emotional highs and lows—shopping trips, family dinners, and small adventures that temporarily distracted me from the harsh reality of my job loss. Each moment spent with my mom and family became a precious memory, especially knowing it was her last week with us.

I've been quiet on social media lately, struggling with dark thoughts that have loomed stronger than ever. Saying goodbye to my mom was incredibly hard, and the looming dread of the future still lingers. Yet, reconnecting with friends, sharing experiences, and even finding solace in simple pleasures like binge-watching anime have helped me cope. Writing an extensive journal entry allowed me to process my feelings and find a sense of release. Despite the challenges, I’m holding on to the belief that better days are ahead, and I’m grateful for the love and support that surrounds me.
