The power has been out for 14 hours. I'm so hot it's ridiculous. One of our fire alarms is periodically beeping because it's malfunctioning. Wind whips so hard through the storm shutters that they bang and whistle. I'm charging my phone on my laptop the best I can. The house is a dark, humid, hot … Continue reading In the Midst of the Storm

C Just Landed!
C just landed at our local airport, and just in time. A typhoon arrives tomorrow. It might be big. I've got a bathtub full of water in case the water lines get cut. I'm going to try to make sure my phone and my ipad, and everything else are charged before the storm hits. We … Continue reading C Just Landed!
Tonight!
Tonight my first Instax Mini 99 is coming! I'm so excited! I also found an expired package of film to use in my Instax Mini 12 that I'm excited to shoot today. You never know how expired film will turn out. It's black and white film. So I don't know if I'll get as many … Continue reading Tonight!

My moods have been horrible and I have been physically exhausted. Today I slept from noon until it was time to take A … Continue reading Getting Prepared
Low
I plummeted yesterday, and today I remained low. I can't shower. I'm not really functioning. I'm very tired.
Fatigue
I taught the Bible journaling seminar to homeschoolers on Friday. The group was small and friendly. I hope they got something out of it. 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
Today was exhausting because of my medicine again. I struggled to wake up and ended up sleeping most of the afternoon when I laid down for a nap. 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
