Blogging about the Beast

GRATITUDES:1. Another day of life!2. Finally signing my kids up for drivers training this summer (Lord help me)3. The fact that Rory doesn’t have to commute to work (at least, not every day) Once again, the days are beginning to slip away from me. I missed another post yesterday simply because I didn’t think about…

GRATITUDES:1. My wonderful husband2. A beautiful day in the low 70s (perfect!)3. A large well seasoned cast iron skillet4. A kind word (❤️) I wish I could say that I planned something amazing for Rory’s 60th birthday but I’m afraid the best I could come up with was a sweet little card, a new Panama…

GRATITUDES:1. The promise of significant rain (fingers crossed)2. The prospect of cooking a good meal for my family3. A completely quiet house (with two teens, this doesn’t happen much)4. The stones I bought yesterday (ooooooooh, SHINY) Saturday morning = quiet, slow, lazy morning routines. At some point today I’m going to have to drag both…

GRATITUDES:1. A good, sound, uninterrupted night’s sleep2. Lunch with friends3. A sweet, grateful daughter4. 1BTN, a radio station based in Brighton, UK. They play a really eclectic mix, most of which is quite good. WE’RE DONE. I emailed the final completed drawing last night and promptly thought about setting fire to my copious pile of…

Nope, no blog post today. Too busy. Can’t type and draw at the same time!😄 The Project-From-Hell is nearly complete though, thankfully, and Lauren and I will be able to sleep a LOT more soundly without this nightmare hanging over our heads.

One paragraph. That’s all I’m doing tonight because I can’t see straight and the middle finger on my left hand is sore where a pencil was biting into it for most of the day today. Three more drawings. THREE MORE, and then we’re done. After which, I may have to hunt down this twit who…

Oooh dear… I’m still rolling on the floor.🤣🤣🤣 Just a little bit ago, Rory was walking into the hall to the office when Lauren began to walk out of her room and was spooked by the image of a person suddenly appearing in the hallway. She said, sort of breathlessly, that he had scared her.…

GRATITUDES:1. Early mornings on our patio2. Melatonin (mother’s little helper – 😆)3. My ever-so-chatty kid, who struggled with speech when she was little. (Now we can’t get her to shut up!😄❤️) Sooo… yesterday sort of flew by before I could get a chance to document anything on the blog, so apologies to those out there…

Another hurried blog post. We had a big day today, starting the morning off with a stop at 2Tarts, then lunch at Mod Pizza and an actual MOVIE, in an honest-to-gosh THEATER. We saw the new Dr. Strange flick, which was given a thumbs-up by everyone in the Hinnen clan. I slammed an entire bucket…

GRATITUDES:1. See above heading 🥳🎉2. Good bone marrow biopsy results3. A doctor who’s willing to go above and beyond for his patients4. A healthy appetite (yes, I’m hungry again. No surprise there.) So, big news for the day: Dr. Santiago called not long ago and my biopsy results showed less than 1 in 1000 cancer…
