I'm debating starting a substack, possibly more than one. The platform seems fascinating. I just signed up for an account so I can subscribe to other creators, but I think I want to do one too. I have a few topic ideas. 1. Poetry 2. Art and Photography 3. Homemaking and marriage 4. Faith 5. … Continue reading Should I Start a Substack?

Laundry Day
I have so much laundry to do today! For a while, the washing machine quit working after the power flickered, which slowed me down. But I'm determined to get another load done, maybe two, before my husband gets home. Everything is wet and gray. I can't wait to move. I am so ready to be … Continue reading Laundry Day
Sweet 16
L is 16 today! We got her a beautiful cake and a gift card to a makeup store. Tonight we'll take her out to dinner. Easter yesterday was lovely. We went to church and stayed for lunch with the congregation after the service. After dark, we went out in the yard and played with the … Continue reading Sweet 16
Busy week
Our visit with my parents last weekend was fantastic. Seeing them warmed my heart. I was runnning on very little sleep, but I still had a good time. Tonight, A is going to spend the night at my sister's house. She's super excited about it! I'm so glad she has her aunt back in her … Continue reading Busy week
Mania
It's almost 2:30 am and I'm still wide awake. I think I'm going manic. Valentine’s evening was amazing. C and I spent quality, phone free time together. He got me a bunch of wonderful brushes for procreate. I'm super excited to use them! Bipolar is hard. My body is tired and I need sleep, but … Continue reading Mania

Church will be virtual tomorrow because of the snow. I went to the Pentagon in my wheelchair because there's no way I … Continue reading Short Update
2024 to 2025
My overarching goal for 2024 was to embrace radical softness and express my femininity. I think I mostly did that. I want to wear makeup when I'm depressed more, but I don't want to wear it all the time because my husband likes my face bare. He doesn't hate makeup, but he doesn't "get" it … Continue reading 2024 to 2025
Sick
I don't know what's wrong with me, but I've been in bed all day exhausted and low. I feel so drained. I don't know how I get this tired except that some of my medicines make me tired. In the few minutes I was up, I just about finished Christmas shopping. Just maybe three more … Continue reading Sick
Obedience, Moving
Obeying my husband is always necessary, and as usual, I know what he says is likely for my own good. I don't agree, but I'm being petulant, and he's probably right. I want to go off all my Bipolar medicine to help me lose weight and trigger hypomania (not mania). My husband insists that I … Continue reading Obedience, Moving
Slow and Lovely
Life at home is slow and lovely. I woke up to a cookie from the batch I made yesterday. The sky is gray today, and everything seems to be sleeping. I have been feeling depressed, so I took a nap. Then I had lunch Now I'm cleaning, painting, and doing photography. I need to put … Continue reading Slow and Lovely
