WWU: The very large (not full any longer, but still full enough to affect my county) moon did not disappoint – busy, crazy and … difficult. But over(!) – so, moving on … I spent about an hour after getting home from work Monday morning, just sitting in the studio, getting back into the swing …
Had a great night with the family last night … Fried fish and shrimp, an impromptu YouTube session showing the kids 70’s CLASSIC videos, and a surprise visit from my dad. We have a couple of muskrats living around our pond – and they’ve been seen recently sunning and moving about. This is what started …
A great couple of evenings with my kids (both the two and four-legged kind), my kilns and my studio has me rolling into the weekend feeling great! I have pictures: Romp time with the pooches … DH caught a quick pic, calling me the ‘dog whisperer’. The last remaining (Neo) pups are moving on …
A much better Wednesday than last week (!), but still with some tension and stress (darn teenagers anyway) … For now, I’ve locked myself in the studio, armed with a cup of Café Mocha – to get some de-stressing/me time. Starting with photography: Here’s a shot of my last coffin run pre-firing: And my pendant …
Had another first for my ‘lil rural county yesterday – 3 SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner) cases in less than 24 hours. WTH?!? I believe I covered every service provided to ‘adults’ by our agency (… if I didn’t – I don’t even want to think about what scenario I missed)! So bummed at the …
Tonight marks the first time I’ve been in the studio for a week. The upside – we had a great, all-be-it just a tad late Christmas with my dad, my house is CLEAN, and I have the next 3 days for nothing but studio time! Oh, I like that! Made some mugs for the family: …
… I am ready for Christmas II (with my dad’s side of the family) … Yep, the house is in order, presents made and wrapped (I can FINALLY put away my wrapping paper for the year), laundry ALL caught up (no small feat with a family our size), puppy photo-shoot/correspondence complete for the week … …
Darn it! But – I did just pay the bills. “The house is ours for another 30 days, honey” – I yelled out to DH, as I do every month. And, I saw my primary care physician today … I get to enjoy reduced premiums for another year. Plus – I’ve lost a couple of …
Christmas (with my dad) has been pushed back – his household has ‘the crud’ (URI). And while I love him very much, I would prefer he keep that to himself (and my uncle is immuno-compromised due to transplant). So … another week of playing in the studio! WWU – Steady but not painfully so. Lots …
