Earlier I made dinner and ran two loads of laundry and painted two paintings. Then I fell into bed and slept for 2 hours. I don't know what came over me. Exhaustion just caught up. Now I'm up and feeling refreshed. Saturday's date night was great. Backrooms was unsettling and I liked it. I tried … Continue reading Long Nap, Ash

Quiet Week
A few pictures This has been a week of rest. I was supposed to make art with my friend J on Friday, but she had to cancel. I talked to my mom on FaceTime instead. Honestly I can't remember much of this week. I was very unwell.

I came home strangely exhausted and had to go to bed shortly after 7. Today I got up early enough, but I still feel exhausted even after napping with my husband. … Continue reading Fatigue
Exhaustion

Now I'm behind on housework and have to catch up tomorrow. Same with laundry. To that end, I am cutting that medicine in half to see if … Continue reading Exhaustion
Microscope, Quirks, Hypomania
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
