Shifts

For two days, Temmy has not been completely obnoxious. She’s been acting more like a cat than a toddler. Dare I hope that I am beyond the wild kitten phase? Oh, she still arched her back, curled her tail, and ran like a psycho through the house a couple of times. And she had a … Continue reading Shifts

Reset, reset

The reset didn’t happen today as hoped, and the reasons are numerous. But another day might be helpful anyway. And again, there are numerous reasons for this. I have a lot to do to find my way again. I might not be ready to pick up my pack again, but obviously that moment is not … Continue reading Reset, reset

Full reset tomorrow

I hope. I’ve gotten far off schedule the last two weeks so at this point the only thing I can do is a full reset. I won’t regret it though. I had more adventures today. The picture above is from a nearby nature center. Too long walks. Has lots of laughs. Got some OTC nasal … Continue reading Full reset tomorrow

Another restful day

The picture above is a shot of the Boise river which I took tonight. I have been good and started off my computer today. I didn’t even take it with me to the con. I have been reassessing my painting goals, which is something I’ve been wanting to give serious time to since my trip … Continue reading Another restful day

Vacation

After several years away, my family and I are back to our annual vacation at Anime Oasis. The name has changed. It’s now Neo Anime Oasis, but hopefully not much more has changed aside from the typical Covid concerns. I suspect this year will be a little different because of that. For example, there are … Continue reading Vacation

When stores take a vacation

Many of my stores are on vacation. I sold a lot of paintings at Washington State Summer Con, but because I haven’t been feeling well, I haven’t taken a moment to update my shops. Then I had someone buy a painting off eBay today. Fortunately, it was one that I had set aside but I … Continue reading When stores take a vacation

Short post

Short post. I’m writing from my phone again, but only because I don’t have the energy to turn my computer on. Con Crud has me in its grip. Strangely enough though, I do feel like things are improving, though to listen to me would make you wonder. Rest note so I can get back to … Continue reading Short post

Catching up can wait

I reset my Surface this evening. It seems to be happy now. I have so much to catch up on from the show and not having my computer available that it’s sad. I will get there. Eventually. About halfway through the day, my throat started to not feel well and its been getting worse. I’m … Continue reading Catching up can wait

Home

Because I left very early this morning, I was able to make it all the way home tonight. The pets are happy I’m home. I think Adrian is happy to be relieved of his pet-sitting duties too. I did stop in Boise to visit Kevin. I was pretty tired by the time I got there, … Continue reading Home

I almost forgot

Boy, would I have been mad. After the show finished today, I packed up and came back to the beautiful Airbnb where I’ve been staying. I had dinner, then went out to the patio for a while. I tried to relax. It feels so strange sitting still. Then I got to talking with the owner, … Continue reading I almost forgot
