Our 2nd Vit pull …
And dinner. First (and most important) – we made our favorite cold weather soup (Acorn squash soup)! But this time, we used a butternut squash. Yep – just one – cuz it was just that big (- and from my Mother-in-law’s abandoned garden … from November!) It changed the flavor a bit – but nothing …
Pendant-Making-Friday …
Well, because I can! I’ve been fiddling with these all week. While making more components and parts … DH seems to think I should make some type of ‘ocean scene’ … Hmmm But, I’m being nice as the poor guy turns the big 5-0 on Sunday! Good golly someone is getting old! The twins …
Good news, bad news, good news …
So, yea – you get the gist. Good news – my elbow is cleared for PT; Bad news – I’m not a huge fan of PT. It’s like paying for an exercise club – but instead dues are 3x the cost, due every visit. No, you don’t get a massage included – instead, we’re …
Exploding FISH – and other news …
I can’t believe my over-stuffed kiln did what she did. She did NOT play nice … exactly … But, she didn’t die either. And – look what she created on the bottom layer of her unhappy self! I couldn’t produce that – in this manner – IF I TRIED! So, ok … Jenny wins (my production …
Not sure if I’m coming or going …
Jeez Louise, my sleep schedule is a mess right now! Seems I’m embracing this menopausal-nuttiness. In between 10 hour slumbers, combined with a few blocks of no energy, I’m waking up after 3-5 hours, somewhere around 4am – wide awake and ready to DO STUFF. I tried to self-correct by pushing through an 18 hour …
Slump and a kick-start!
So, I’ve been quiet. I usually don’t get that way for too long …. I was in a creative slump. Apparently, I was feeling stressed. But now, with ENPC (Emergency Nurse Pediatric Course) and a large chunk of of nursing competencies completed … I feel better. The fact that I can say ‘see you next …
I’m so ADULTing …
Crossing so many things of my dreaded to do list! BAM!! Charge nurse on Monday (although I was droopy-eyed-tired and a tad irritable Monday morning – thank goodness for a great crew!!) Thanks guys! ACLS pre-testing done. Next up: the re-cert class Friday MORNING (YUCK!!!); A clean house and clean-ish studio; I’m up to date …
Down-time …
Got through the open house … It was a great gathering and I can’t thank my brother & sister-in-law enough, amazing food and indescribably helpful! Gerard’s Catering – they’re awesome! Unfortunately, DH and I stink at capturing photos … But here’s a great one of my 92 y/o Grandpa T with the twins … Awww! …
Night lights and penDots …
Sums up my studio week. Throw in some pool time, pooch time, a couple of meals and a whole lot of sleep … yep, that’s what I did! (Alright, I also picked about 4 pounds of beans from the garden, along with zucchini and cucumbers. Those beans have me totally rethinking the raised-bed-garden idea!) Finished …
Road trip, new family and a few projects
Started the week bringing a new family member home. Meet our boy, Greco, AKA Rrricco Suave. He’s a big goofy puppy, and DH loves his dorky ears (or lack thereof …)! His coat is so velvety soft! Now that we’re settling into a routine, I’m making stuff in the studio. A new batch of hot …
