Last week I wore makeup, as I often do. We were getting our pictures taken. And C did not want to kiss me because he hates the texture and taste of my lipstick. Then he admitted he hates makeup. I always knew he thought it was frivolous, but I didn't know he hated it. Knowing … Continue reading No More Makeup

Creativity, Knee
Today we took my brace off to adjust it, and my kneecap started to slide out of place. It was painful. Now I'm thinking it will be a few more days before I can manage without it. I'll go to the orthopedic dr on Monday. My family has been pushing me around in the wheelchair. … Continue reading Creativity, Knee

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
Art Room in Progress
My daughter and I are working on the art studio together. She puts everything in rainbow order, which I love. We have a beautiful light set to put on the wall, and I can't wait to get it set up. She's a wonderful designer and comes up with so many organizational ideas.

The week is off to a busy start between doctor appointments, school uniform shopping, and medical stuff for school. My daughter A came home late Friday night. My dad flew her home, and he stayed with us for the weekend, flying home Sunday night. His visit was awesome! We drove around and took him to … Continue reading The Last Days of Summer

Tuesday and Wednesday I volunteered at the dog shelter. A dog I fell in love with the first day was adopted the second day, which made me happy. I came home exhausted, strangely exhausted, but with the satisfaction of making living, loving little animals' day better. Today I am running on little sleep and have … Continue reading Trying to Recover Me
1st Day
Today was my first day volunteering at the animal shelter! I loved it! I played with two dogs, one of whom was named Whimsy and loved to chase the ball. I played with kittens! I returned home early, however, because it poured on me, and I got drenched and uncomfortable. My raincoat is with the … Continue reading 1st Day
Little Updates
I drove by myself yesterday to go to my first appointment with my dr here. It went well, despite the fact it was pouring, and that made me an even bigger nervous wreck. The new medicine this Dr. put me on made me nauseous for a while, but other than that, it was a lovely … Continue reading Little Updates
Soaking in Femininity
Moving across the world is stressful. Missing my daughter, if only until August, is stressful. So is not having a car and so many other things right now. The stress has gotten to me. My husband does his best to keep stress off me, but it's impossible to move across the world and not feel … Continue reading Soaking in Femininity
Books Galore
Our kitchen stuff has arrived! We'll unpack this weekend. Happy 4th! Molly is settling in well. We hope to see the fireworks from our house. We'll see if that's possible. Yesterday I spent more than an hour on Kindle choosing book samples to download. I must have downloaded at least 30! Some samples I have … Continue reading Books Galore
