Art Room in Progress
My daughter and I are working on the art studio together. She puts everything in rainbow order, which I love. We have a beautiful light set to put on the wall, and I can't wait to get it set up. She's a wonderful designer and comes up with so many organizational ideas.
Trying to Recover Me
Tuesday and Wednesday I volunteered at the dog shelter. A dog I fell in love with the first day was adopted the second day, which made me happy. I came home exhausted, strangely exhausted, but with the satisfaction of making living, loving little animals' day better. Today I am running on little sleep and have … Continue reading Trying to Recover Me
L’s Last Day
The movers come to start packing our house tomorrow, so L's last day with us is today. Her coordinator will be picking her up today. Having an exchange student has been a wonderful cultural experience, and L has become family to us. We wanted to take her out for a nice lunch, but the car … Continue reading L’s Last Day

Church, Snow
We were supposed to be welcomed as members into our church today, but I vomited on the way. We were maybe 10 minutes from church when I started spewing and eventually couldn't swallow it down. I feel so bad. They were prepared to welcome us. Since then I have been resting. My dear husband made … Continue reading Church, Snow
Small Updates
I'm working on a Christmas poem to share with my church this Sunday. I initially bowed out of contributing one because I'm anxious, and honestly, I don't love public speaking like I used to. I've gotten quieter. But the pastor's wife has kindly offered that they could print it in the program or someone else … Continue reading Small Updates
Planner Pages
I have started using my digital planner again. It's a homeschooling planner because when I bought it I thought we"d be homeschooling. Next year I might get a faith planner instead. Or I might keep this one for 2025 and use some of the homeschooling stuff for my self directed "MFA." The books I've read … Continue reading Planner Pages
