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

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
I Deleted my Writing/Personal Instagram
Last night I deleted my longest standing Instagram account. I have had it for at least 10 years. It was a record of my life. I decided I don't want to share my life on Instagram anymore. I kept my art account, as well as the account where I network dogs. But my days of … Continue reading I Deleted my Writing/Personal Instagram
New Color Project?
I'm excited. I've been planning a new project about color that I'm going to post on one of my other blogs. It currently houses some paintings and photos. I don't think I'll take those down, but I want to write short and spiritual nonfiction or prose poetry (and free verse) about each color, and in … Continue reading New Color Project?
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
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
Next Semester
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
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
Curvy, Sexy, Comfy
Resurrecting an old post from several years ago. Today I got an email concerning an old website I used to run in 2016 that is now offline. In it I talk about body positivity, sexiness, and comfort. I didn't want to lose it, so I have pasted it below. So I tried on some gorgeous … Continue reading Curvy, Sexy, Comfy
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
