Today I had to cancel a photoshoot and miss OCIA. I am exhausted and don't feel well. I slept 15 hours a day two days in a row. Then yesterday we were out all afternoon getting the oil changed in our vehicles. My husband put me to bed at 6:30 or so because I could … Continue reading Homemaking While Exhausted

Home
We arrived home at 9 pm on NYE. We scarfed down some pizza and went to bed. A few hours later I woke up sweating with fever, so I didn't sleep much. Then the next day on the 1st I fell asleep at 2:30 pm and woke up at 5:30 am. Honestly I'm still tired … Continue reading Home
Cirque, Dinner
Tonight we went to the Cirque show in Honolulu. It was amazing! Absolutely incredible! The stunts they did were unbelievable. At one point though a guy almost fell. For a second I was scared I was going to see someone get hurt or die. But he recovered and stayed in the air, thankfully. We had … Continue reading Cirque, Dinner
Lifelong Student
I'm returning to my idea of an at home, self-directed MFA. But to broaden my horizons and seek new sources of inspiration, I might do a personalized curricum and study more than poetry. I'll break the year up into quarters and then further break classes down by month. I'd like to study Catholicism (obviously. I … Continue reading Lifelong Student
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

A turned 12! We had a big party with the neighborhood kids. We got pizza, cake, and ice cream. She liked all her gifts! I learned how to collage in Procreate. Finally! I can add collage elements and papers to my paintings. That's actually what I'm doing to relax this afternoon. I'm clipping photos and … Continue reading Life Updates
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.
The Last Days of Summer
The week is off to a busy start between doctor appointments, school uniform shopping, and medical stuff for school. My daughter A came home late Friday night. My dad flew her home, and he stayed with us for the weekend, flying home Sunday night. His visit was awesome! We drove around and took him to … Continue reading The Last Days of Summer
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
