Today the girls had school but my husband didn't have work, so he and I spent the day together. We took a lovely two hour drive and went to a Mexican restaurant I love. We chatted nonstop for 6 hours. It was glorious! We talked a lot about the future and upcoming changes for the … Continue reading Wonderful Day With my Man

Staying Silent While My Husband Speaks for Me
I love it when I don't have to give my order to the server because he speaks up for me. I love it when I am in social situations (and getting tired or stressed), and he puts his arm around me and takes over the conversation. When I need to say no (something that in … Continue reading Staying Silent While My Husband Speaks for Me
Photos
I took these photos the other day. This is my world. I am not happy today. It's a hard day. I have the shower curtain in the washing machine. I made lunch but got too depressed to finish it, which is probably good. I have a bunch of housework I need to do, and very … Continue reading Photos
Beautiful Day
Today is a gorgeous day. Warm air and sunny skies are lifting my spirit. I had a medical test this morning, and afterward I stayed up instead of curling up in bed. I've been cleaning the house, studying Arabic, and listening to linguistics lectures. I am hoping this means I am on an upswing and … Continue reading Beautiful Day
Designing My Own MFA
I am not going to grad school for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is money. (My disdain for leftist politics and an unwillingness to support a system of Marxist academics also play a role in me not attending. As does the fact I will make no money from such a course … Continue reading Designing My Own MFA
Public Again
A few days ago, I made my blog private. I've since changed it back. I have this internal battle because, on one hand, I love blogging about my life, but on the other hand, I'm a private person I just felt unsafe and exposed, so I made the page private. But I'm feeling better now. … Continue reading Public Again
Addie
Meet Addie. I don't know why, but this morning I suddenly got the urge to adopt a fish. I haven't had a fish in years. So my daughter and I went to Petsmart and she helped me pick out supplies. I wanted a tank with colored lights, but bought the white light one because it … Continue reading Addie
My First Loaf of Bread
Today I used our old bread machine to make my first loaf of bread. I made parmesan garlic bread. It didn't turn out perfectly. I took out the mixing piece too soon. But my husband has still enjoyed a piece. Tomorrow I might try again. I got several chores done today, but not as many … Continue reading My First Loaf of Bread
Moving is Exhausting
It has been a crazy week. There is so much to unpack and put away. I am physically exhausted from all the carrying stuff around and going up and down the stairs all the time. The bad ankle is not loving me right now. This morning, I hired a professional decorator/organizer to help me. My … Continue reading Moving is Exhausting
New House
Yesterday my husband and I arrived at our new home. Moving was a fiasco. They were supposed to pick our stuff up on Friday. But first, the company didn't do the paperwork they needed to do. So we had to sponsor them on base. But then, when they were trying to get on, they crashed … Continue reading New House
