Update, soak, sleep – and THEN …
[The Twins will be HOME!] But first, update: DH and I survived our Empty Nester time. We spent quality time doing our own thing, quality time together – and had nightly phone calls from the twins … For a trial run, I think we did well! I have a few new ornaments and the Zeus …
AADD …
Adult ADD. Is it an actual diagnosis? … Can you DEVELOP it? … Or CATCH it (like a virus)??? I think I may have it … The ideas are spinning so quickly (in my head), it’s hard to stay focused. So, then I try making lists (mental and physical) – but there are too many!!! So …
Another one bites the dust …
Have passed through another year of life … DH likes to say I’m catching up to him. ‘Course I point out he’ll always be OLDER! So far, it’s been [another] busy, productive week: Made candles; went to Metro; spent time catching up/celebrating with my family (phone, visit, phone, phone!); did a little home canine nursing …
Cuz Moms CAN!
Been a busy week here at Clayton Hill! But a great week, too! * I’ve been busy in the studio – in stolen ‘patches’ of time – which may make me more productive (???). I have new dichroic cabs (that will become pendants, badge reels and now … PINS!), as well as some other dichroic jewelry …
Have I mentioned? …
I LOVE MY STUDIO!!! I told DH ‘I’ll see you on Saturday’ … and I was only half-joking! My plotter has arrived, she’s installed and after 5 days of confusion, electronic and software grief … she’s up and running. I LOVE IT!!! I have days upon days of learning to do/knowledge/experience to acquire – but …
The never ending subpoena –
is now set for next week (!) … Sooo – I was available to attend the DARN SANE meeting! By the time I got home, I was completely bummed and disliking people. Needing a fix – I spent the afternoon playing with puppies, in the sunshine and beautiful fall colors: And Mighty Zeus was …
Let there be … DRAMA!
Oh My Lordy! People, particularly 20-somethings will never cease to AMAZE me … Their oral-diarrhea is outmatched only by the size of their egos, and this sense of ‘you owe me’/entitlement is baffling! With that said – I choose to move on from the drama, and play in my studio. I tried a new technique …
Dogs = Good Therapy!
Crummy day! Started with a wake-up SANE call … yeah, my favorite. Spent way too many hours ‘debating’* with police agencies on behalf of my patient, ending several hours later with a temporary ‘truce’ – before I start again tomorrow … [*one never ARGUES with the police] And while I came home drained of any …
22 Years of Wedded Bliss …
OK – not always. But we do have our moments … Like – now. While granting me some alone/studio time, DH is making dinner, while the twins babysit the den (pups). Awww … And, I’ve got to show off the sweet card he gave me. Yeah – that would be his ‘southpaw’ chicken- scratch declaring …
Where does the time go???
Where’d the week go? Can’t believe it’s Friday already! Big family shin-dig to celebrate my grandparents 65th wedding anniversary later today … No studio time – but good family time. I have been producing in the studio. Still on a pendant/badge reel kick … with the new kiln running twice a day. And, my coffin …
