I want to design another personal curriculum for this semester for Stay at Home University, or SAHU as I sometimes call it. I want to continue my unit on horror, delving into short stories and maybe even a novel or two. For the past several months, I have been devouring books on the art of … Continue reading Next Semester
Long Nap, Ash
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
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
Snarls Through Snaggled Teeth
In the crinkling dawn, death yawns. Another day, another disembodied body. I tell him to get off my back porch, and I chase him with my own scythe painted dayglo orange. He's been drinking and smoking joints on my patio all night. Angels sew the fields with tempestuous flowers, hauling bright colors and soft textures … Continue reading Snarls Through Snaggled Teeth
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.

Overall this has been a weekend of good food, running errands, and making collages. Soon I'll do a post on what … Continue reading Long Weekend
Mother Mary
I am gathering Catholic books. I bought 4 from Ascension Press that I downloaded on my ipad/kindle. One is about drawing near to Mother Mary like a daughter. This is still so new to me, somehow homey and foreign simultaneously. I don't know how to draw close to Mary. I want to find out. As … Continue reading Mother Mary
Collage to Relieve Anxiety
So much less Instagram
Since deleting my trad wife Instagram, I feel freer. I made friends there - some I will keep up with other ways and others I'll just miss. But I won't miss dealing with the daily drama and arguments and some people who are so unhinged as to make me look like a normie. A lot … Continue reading So much less Instagram
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
