We lost power around 3 am. We couldn't get the generator on until close to 4 pm. The generator can't run the ac or the stove or most of our outlets, so I'm hoping this is the one and only day of no power, but we'll see. The storm swung south, so it wasn't as … Continue reading Day 1

My Guilty Confession
I did it. I don't know if I'll keep it, but I got one. I've been trying to build a Youtube to ultimately support my dog rescue dreams. However, I only seem to want to make short form content, which does not suit YouTube. Getting back on Instagram was a no thank you, and you … Continue reading My Guilty Confession
Busyness
Busy week. I hung out with my mom on FaceTime one day, and my dad the next. I love talking to my parents. Today a package arrived - always a special event living on this island, it seems like. In the box was a set of Sennelier iridescent soft pastels I am so excited to … Continue reading Busyness
Quick Update
Today I got to talk to my mom on FaceTime, which was lovely. But my mood sank as soon as I got off the line. Today I didn't get much done. I worked on a soft pastel painting, but it was strange. My arms got so tired I had to lay down...from soft pastel painting. … Continue reading Quick Update
To Replace Instagram
I will be blogging a lot of my art at curvyrainbows.wordpress.com I still want a place to record my creative life. I just need to spend time away from Instagram. Meta is soul sucking. Today I have cleaning and laundry to do, and I need to figure out dinner. I'm thinking lemon chicken pesto pasta. … Continue reading To Replace Instagram
Game Night
We had a family game night tonight! I got lots of videos of the family. We had so much fun. My favorite game was Apples to Apples. My husband bought me a porch swing because I thought that maybe if I could swing on a swing and listen to music like I did as a … Continue reading Game Night
Father’s Day, Monday
The first of C's Father's Day gifts arrived! It's a lego set where you build a gumball machine. I hope he loves it. He's already starting to build it. His second lego kit is supposed to arrive on Thursday, the day my inlaws go home. I love to see him happy. I try not to … Continue reading Father’s Day, Monday
Family Visiting
My inlaws are arriving for a visit this afternoon. They'll be here a week. Hopefully it doesn't rain the whole time. It's pouring today. They're staying someplace else. I wouldn't have minded if they stayed with us, but it would be pretty cramped because we don't have a guest room in this house. Well, we … Continue reading Family Visiting
Busy Week
I have a purple cast on. Last week I went to the orthopedic doctor and he said to wear a cast for 3 weeks to see if it helps with my ankle pain. If it does, I may be forced to wear some clunky ankle brace and weird shoes, or have my ankle fused or … Continue reading Busy Week
New Planner System
I bought a rainbow themed digital planner I'm excited about. I really want to start using all the digital stickers I have. I was torn between using a planner on my ipad and using my paper planner in the binder, and then I decided on using my phone. It's a big phone with a stylus … Continue reading New Planner System
