I Feel Fragile

In the fictionalized biography of Elizabeth Winthrope titled "The Winthrope Woman," Elizabeth is speaking with her sister, Martha. Her sister tells her that she (Martha) is "cobweb that tears at a touch." I feel that way sometimes. It feels like I break so easily. I cried earlier today because of an upcoming move. I'm in … Continue reading I Feel Fragile

Big Cleaning Day

Although I was still sick, I was doing a little better, and I cleaned the house like crazy. Dusting, laundry, organizing, dishes, picking up, cleaning bathrooms etc. Disinfecting things felt good. I want to chase the sick out of the house. I got 150 zink photo paper stickers recently, and I have been printing my … Continue reading Big Cleaning Day

Trying to Get on My Feet

I spent too much time laying down this morning. Mentally I am not great. But I have since gotten back up. I've been cleaning baseboards. To do it, I've been using my orange duster. Honestly the constant bending makes me sore. I want a longer duster that I can stay up right with when I … Continue reading Trying to Get on My Feet

The Body Positive Movement is Wrong

I don't support it anymore. It went from telling people to be nice to fat people, to lying and saying you can be 400 pounds and be healthy. In the beginning, I thought it was silly but nice. I grew up with a mother who was very mean about and to fat people, so a … Continue reading The Body Positive Movement is Wrong

Cleaning Schedule

I am thinking of creating a more solid cleaning schedule. As it stands, I just do things as I can when they need to be done - like picking up before my husband gets home, cooking dinner, or mopping floors. But a schedule might help me keep the house extra clean and inspire me to … Continue reading Cleaning Schedule

Dr Appointments, Diet, Mania

I went to the GI doctor today. He thinks, based on imaging that was done on me when I was in the hospital, that there might be something wrong with my liver. I have to get an MRI soon. Hopefully it's nothing. I also have other problems they found, but I likely won't have surgery … Continue reading Dr Appointments, Diet, Mania

Company, Tablecloth, Rosary

After picking up the groceries this morning, I invited one of my friends over for a morning of reality tv. It's fun to make fun of it all. We had a lovely morning, but I had to cut it short due to anxiety. I really hate it when that happens. Since then, I have been … Continue reading Company, Tablecloth, Rosary

New Art Journal Pages

I am a digital art journaling maniac tonight. Combining cutouts, art journaling paper from Etsy, personal pictures, text etc is lighting my mind on fire. It feels so good. Thank God for art therapy. It really is so helpful. I constantly feel creative. I am so thankful for my husband letting me stay home and … Continue reading New Art Journal Pages

Cooking, Sewing, Art Journaling

I have made several new dishes over the past few weeks, and all of them have been a success with the family. I am so grateful they like my food. As I've written before, my husband loves to cook, and historically in our marriage he did the cooking. Now though, time has gone by, and … Continue reading Cooking, Sewing, Art Journaling
