The other morning, I woke up and felt like crap. I'm sure you're shocked. Lisa not feeling well? What a rarity! But for some reason, I realized that one thing that would help that day was a new camera. I just had the strongest itch to get a new camera. And very quickly, I settled … Continue reading New Camera

Screw Polaroid
My Instax square film is getting harder to get and instax square cameras are getting harder to buy because Polaroid is litigious, and evidently thinks they own the square format. News flash. Suck it. You don't own the 1:1 aspect ratio. The essential issue is that polaroid makes an inferior film. So they have to … Continue reading Screw Polaroid
Personal Curriculum Plans
It is midway through June and I still don't have my summer curriculum set up, so the one I create might bleed into the fall. I've decided I want to study Spanish so that I can communicate in Spanish to L and to A. A has been taking Spanish lessons online. I'll probably use the … Continue reading Personal Curriculum Plans
Fun Weeks

Hard Week
I can't write about how hard the past week has been. I'm grateful we got our power back after about two days. To my knowledge, no lives were lost in Typhoon Sinlaku. But mentally it has been an unmedicated, jagged hellscapes of rigid prongs of anxiety digging into my body, and my will to live … Continue reading Hard Week
In the Midst of the Storm
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
Taco Bell
Today I went to my daughter A's school for lunch to surprise her. I brought Taco Bell. She was so happy! I had anxiety getting there, and anxiety waiting to see her because the cafeteria was so loud. But I stuck it out and I made it. I'm so glad I did. She's in class … Continue reading Taco Bell
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!
Mood Swings, Cameras
This morning I had OCIA. One more class until Confirmation! I am so excited! Yesterday we got lunch at my favorite restaurant! Salmon with lobster cream sauce and garlic mashed potatoes! My baby girl! She's growing up so fast! It was good to get out. Yesterday I felt so flat I couldn't focus to read. … Continue reading Mood Swings, Cameras
Life Updates
A turned 12! We had a big party with the neighborhood kids. We got pizza, cake, and ice cream. She liked all her gifts! I learned how to collage in Procreate. Finally! I can add collage elements and papers to my paintings. That's actually what I'm doing to relax this afternoon. I'm clipping photos and … Continue reading Life Updates
