In love with this talking grim reaper from Walmart. Too expensive for me, but I think he’s awesome! I want to give him a big hug. 😂

It’s my birthday today!!! 28 and so grateful. ♥️ Have a wonderful day, all. You are loved! 🥰

The lady was hesitant to pierce my ears because she thought I was a teenager and I needed parental permission. I will be 28 on Wednesday. 🤣

Got my ears pierced for the first time today! The lady was so nice and it didn’t hurt at all. 6 to 8 weeks of cleaning it, then I can wear all the earrings I want! 😻

Hey, my name is Dana and I have really bad panic attacks and depression from time to time. I’m not ashamed. And if you struggle too, I see you. You’re not weak. You are only human. And you are loved. ♥️

Bought new dresses today! An early treat to myself for my birthday. 🤗

That’s my ultimate goal! 😂

Been on a romance novel kick lately. Gimme all the romance!!! 🥰

This month alone, I’ve: •Signed more contracts for my mystery books with one publisher •Saw two book covers for books with another •Signed ANOTHER contract for a western horror with another publisher And more happening behind the scenes. 👀 I’m on a roll!

Made homemade chocolate cake with a homemade icing! Double chocolate. So, so good. 😋

Been too sleepy to do much of anything these days. I usually nap all day. Hopefully the hospital gets back to me soon so we can treat my sleep apnea/upper airway resistance syndrome!

I got a Lara Croft/Tomb Raider Funko today! Definitely need to dress up like her for Halloween. 😊

🚨 New book deal! 🚨 Happy to announce I signed a contract for MARY HAD A LITTLE GUN, my western horror novel, and it’ll be out July 2028 with Slashic Horror Press. Can’t wait for you to meet Mary, Hellslinger, Old Red, and my fantasy horror version of the Wild West!

Got the results from my sleep study: I have upper airway resistance syndrome. My throat closes up too much when I sleep, leading to exhaustion, trouble breathing, and other awful symptoms. Hopefully I can get CPAP soon and end this nightmare! I just want good rest.

Always craving burritos. 😋

Happy Wednesday, friends! I hope your day has good things in store for you. You are loved! 🤗

Make-up free and super tired this evening. Early night for me! 😴

I think I look pretty good for someone who barely slept! 😂

Home now from the sleep study at the hospital! It went well, so hopefully I’ll get results soon. So nice to be home again. Have a great day all, and remember you’re loved! 🤗

Ready for my sleep study in my PJ’s! 💕
