My microscope arrived and C set it up for me! It is such a sweet gift. It comes with sample slides and a digital camera function. I adore it. My husband has always embraced my weirdness, and I love it. We appreciate one another's quirks. So when I start dying tin foil or asking to … Continue reading Microscope, Quirks, Hypomania

Adoration, OCIA, Rosary
Today I attended OCIA. My two classmates were both out, as was Father C, so M taught me a lesson on the sacraments. I found out I can't get my marriage convalidated (word choice?) Because to do so, you must agree to raise your children Catholic. My deeply Methodist husband will never go for that, … Continue reading Adoration, OCIA, Rosary
Creeping Catholicism
C is out of town for work for a few days, so it's just A and I. I got some of that list done. I mopped and did laundry and reorganized stuff and read. But I definitely did not finish the list. In the evening, A and I watch YouTube videos together and hang out. … Continue reading Creeping Catholicism

Birthday!
My birthday was earlier this week! C made it special by cooking his delicious stuffed shells for me and getting ice cream. He also got me a gift I'm super excited about, but it will take a couple of more weeks to get here. A microscope! And petri dishes! I can't wait to get photos … Continue reading Birthday!
No More Makeup
Last week I wore makeup, as I often do. We were getting our pictures taken. And C did not want to kiss me because he hates the texture and taste of my lipstick. Then he admitted he hates makeup. I always knew he thought it was frivolous, but I didn't know he hated it. Knowing … Continue reading No More Makeup
Soft, Softer, Softest
I visited A at lunch today and brought her Taco Bell. She was so excited when she saw me! She didn't know I was coming to school today. It was so sweet to get to see my baby for lunch! She invited me to the library with her and then bought me a cute little … Continue reading Soft, Softer, Softest
A Lovely Sunday
I attended OCIA today and learned about the liturgical calendar. There's more to it than I really realized. Christmas isn't just one day. There are so many celebrations of different biblical things and saints in the Catholic Church that you have some special observance rather regularly. I feel a little overwhelmed and yet happy. Sometimes … Continue reading A Lovely Sunday
Quiet Couple of Weeks
A is having a birthday party next weekend! We're giving the kids pizza, cake, and ice cream. I really hope she has a great time and that all the kids can come. I've been exhausted. The house is pretty much where I want it, except for a couple of boxes. Everything is clean. Now, it's … Continue reading Quiet Couple of Weeks
Life Updates
In the next 2 weeks, I begin RCIA classes to become Catholic. I'm excited! I still have some reservations, particularly with praying to Mary and the Saints. But as I read Catholic theologians and writers, it's making more sense. I have a new doctor to go to, and the office provides transportation when you need … Continue reading Life Updates
