I have headaches, congestion, a cough, a fever etc. This has been a long day. So was yesterday. Today though I missed a dr appointment and I've been sleeping most of the day. This virus or whatever is knocking me on my butt. Luckily I cooked a 4 cheese macaroni before I got really sick, … Continue reading Full Blown Cold or Something

This book about the color pink is inspiring me as I prepare to write a chapbook on the color. A vivid, richly detailed book on tne subject. Every once in awhile a book on fashion grabs my attention, and this is one if those times. I only dabble in writing fiction. I primarily write poetry … Continue reading Recent Reads/Currently Reading
Homemaking While Exhausted
Today I had to cancel a photoshoot and miss OCIA. I am exhausted and don't feel well. I slept 15 hours a day two days in a row. Then yesterday we were out all afternoon getting the oil changed in our vehicles. My husband put me to bed at 6:30 or so because I could … Continue reading Homemaking While Exhausted
Home
We arrived home at 9 pm on NYE. We scarfed down some pizza and went to bed. A few hours later I woke up sweating with fever, so I didn't sleep much. Then the next day on the 1st I fell asleep at 2:30 pm and woke up at 5:30 am. Honestly I'm still tired … Continue reading Home
Cirque, Dinner
Tonight we went to the Cirque show in Honolulu. It was amazing! Absolutely incredible! The stunts they did were unbelievable. At one point though a guy almost fell. For a second I was scared I was going to see someone get hurt or die. But he recovered and stayed in the air, thankfully. We had … Continue reading Cirque, Dinner
In Oahu!
Our vacation so far has been wonderful. We went to the Polynesian Cultural Center and enjoyed the villages and the dancing and fire show at night. We also went shopping!!! Where we live there are no art stores and few book stores, so we stocked up. And of course, we have gone to the beach.
Bad Medicine, OCIA, Bible Journaling
Waking up was difficult to do this morning. Again, the medicine knocked me out. I'm not taking it tonight. OCIA was canceled today. Father C offered to teach it since I drove out for it, and one of my classmates was there already, but we all agreed it would be best to just reconvene in … Continue reading Bad Medicine, OCIA, Bible Journaling
Lifelong Student
I'm returning to my idea of an at home, self-directed MFA. But to broaden my horizons and seek new sources of inspiration, I might do a personalized curricum and study more than poetry. I'll break the year up into quarters and then further break classes down by month. I'd like to study Catholicism (obviously. I … Continue reading Lifelong Student
Exhaustion
Today was exhausting because of my medicine again. I struggled to wake up and ended up sleeping most of the afternoon when I laid down for a nap. Now I'm behind on housework and have to catch up tomorrow. Same with laundry. To that end, I am cutting that medicine in half to see if … Continue reading Exhaustion
Best Horror Book I’ve Read in A While
I am deeply, almost radically enjoying this collection of tiny short stories by Darcy Coates. I might be late to the party because she's a best seller, but this was my first book by her and the first I heard of her. I have a soft spot for short fiction. I've downloaded a novel by … Continue reading Best Horror Book I’ve Read in A While
