I have decided to not buy art supplies for at least the next 4 months. Or clothes. The only 2 things I can buy are film and books. Preferably kindle books to keep costs down (shipping is high) and to avoid having a hard move when it's time to leave. No Lisa Frank stuff. No … Continue reading Social Media Rest/No Buy

C is Home – for Now
We had a lovely weekend with C home. We cuddled, and he caught up on sleep. The organizer stood me up, letting me know 40 minutes after she was supposed to arrive that she wasn't coming. So I've found someone else to come on Thursday. Hopefully that works out. Aside from being stood up though, … Continue reading C is Home – for Now
Yay!
C comes home tonight! I am over the moon thrilled. I'm chatting with him while he's on the plane. I have missed him so much. And a new dinosaur documentary comes out on Netflix tomorrow! And I have an organizer coming to help me reorganize my jam packed art studio. This should be an amazing … Continue reading Yay!
A Week of Struggle
There's no getting around it. This week has been an absolute struggle. Mentally, emotionally, and physically. I'm exhausted on a spiritual plane. But I need to count my blessings, so here's a partial list in no order. My husband has been traveling safely and calling and texting as much as he can, though, with the … Continue reading A Week of Struggle
Early Valentine’s Day
Yesterday, C and I went out to celebrate Valentine’s early, since he had the day off work and things would be less busy. We got a light lunch and some cinnabon to take home. We also went to the bookstore and the beach. Then we came home and took a nice nap. It was a … Continue reading Early Valentine’s Day

Happy Thanksgiving!
We had a wonderful day! I hope you do too, reader. C cooked! He usually cooks on the holidays. His food is excellent. I definitely can't diet over Thanksgiving and Christmas! We had manicotti and fish and biscuits and pie and potatoes, etc. It's been a relaxing day. I did a little embroidery for the … Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving!
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
Creativity, Knee
Today we took my brace off to adjust it, and my kneecap started to slide out of place. It was painful. Now I'm thinking it will be a few more days before I can manage without it. I'll go to the orthopedic dr on Monday. My family has been pushing me around in the wheelchair. … Continue reading Creativity, Knee
