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
Life
After dropping A off at school and driving down the street, I got a phone call. I answered it and a cute little voice said, "Mom, I forgot my project at home in the living room. Can you bring it for me? I'm sorry." Since it is her first time forgetting anything this year, and … Continue reading Life
Instagram, Studio Life
I reinstated my writing Instagram, but not my trad account. I missed my small community on the writing account. And a record of the last decade of my life. I've been on it a lot less though. So the other night my husband took me by surprise. I can't remember exactly what we were talking … Continue reading Instagram, Studio Life
Adrenal
I went to the cardiologist this week. He gave me beta blockers and is going to give my heart a chemically induced stress test. But he thinks the problem is an adrenal gland tumor, so I have to do a twenty four hour urine test too. If it is a tumor, I will have to … Continue reading Adrenal
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
Spewing
We just dropped my inlaws off at the airport. On the way home I got sick and threw up all over myself and the car. Now I'm resting on the sofa not feeling well. I'd like to sleep, but it's just a few hours til bedtime (and my hair is soaked from needing to shower) … Continue reading Spewing
Exhausted
My inlaws have been here a week. I hope they've had a good time. I love my inlaws, but honestly one week of having guests has been a lot. Stressful. Today I just wanted to hide in the art room to read and collage awhile. I wasn't feeling social. It was nothing personal. But my … Continue reading Exhausted
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
Inlaws Are Here
My inlaws are here. Day 2. I haven't been at my best, or really been the best hostess. I'm antisocial, moody, and tired. I'm stressed out. Why can't I relax? Having C home for the week is nice. I wish it were time with him with just the immediate family. But I'm glad he's getting … Continue reading Inlaws Are Here
