Downloaded an app from the play store that required Accessibility Permissions to screen cast. Now I'm fighting to recover my instagram and discord, and had to reset every password known to man, as well as factory reset my phone just in case. If you see anything strange from my instagram, please ignore it and report the account as hacked. Luckily I got my facebook secured as well as my amazon and email. Sigh. I needed this like I need a hole in the head.

No market today (July 25th) Lots going on with the girls moving for school earlier this week and me moving bedrooms around for the kids and my office. Yes it is also 2am and I am very much awake, so there's that too lol.

You know what's better than sitting down and planning out a week's with of posts in a single day, all of them written by AI?

Making a real post, in real time, on the day the stuff actually happened.

I'm so over posting canned bs and keeping up my post count for some idiotic algorithm some code monkey concocted. I'm not doing it anymore.

So here's some real content. Today, one of my vendor friends took my family out to show us how to harvest Saguaro Fruit. This is likely something we will be incorporating into our yearly foraging, and I'm incredibly grateful.

(I'll add more photos as we continue this process to turning it into syrup, but here is what we have for now.)

This coming weekend's markets are canceled due to unfathomable heat and car troubles..

I know it's supposed to be meet the ingredient Monday, but I gotta be honest. I don't get much engagement on here and I'm beat. Like, my soul is tired. My daughter ran over our mower today and into our rv trailer and that caused our last single running van, which we JUST fixed because our other van died, to die as well. Side note, both died literally the day after I filled the tank of course. That was halfway to the market I was supposed to be running and organizing. Then by the time the tow truck got it home, it started just fine for my husband. I'm tired. There's still something wrong with it, I know it, and now I just feel crazy and suspicious and I don't want to touch the stupid thing. Also, the wonderful IRS could take up to early next month before they decide to casually hand us back the money they owe us that we so DESPERATELY need at this point. So no post today, maybe not this week. It's Sunday for me, but yeah, I'm posting this on my usual schedule because why not. I schedule all my daily posts for the week on Sunday, but I think I'm going to sit the rest of this week out. Catch you all next week I hope. Prayers or well wishes would be lovely.

Sometimes Sundays aren’t all sunshine—last week our trusty green van’s engine seized for good. But every gray cloud has a silver lining! We were able to buy the same year and make van from a good local friend, and with parts from the green van, our new-to-us gold van is running better than ever. Our son swapped the distributor, and now it purrs like a kitten—with A/C to keep us cool! Trials can truly be blessings in disguise. 🚐💛
