Snow Fun
The snow finally came. Still not as much as we hoped but it was the best kind of snow. Perfect for snowballs, snowmen and forts!

New Medication – Week 3
I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety my whole life. I’ve been on different medications and I’ve tried some herbal/natural remedies for relief. Some options seemed to work for a while but there were always some really negative effects no matter which one I tried. I’ve been on a new one now for 3 weeks and it’s taken me until this third week to really sit back and say, wow. I’m really feeling better. I actually feel better. Changes that I’ve noticed: I’m catching my reactions before they are happening. I don’t think that’s ever happened in my life. I’ve always reacted and felt badly afterwards. By catching my reactions before…

My new crystal shelf!
My sister, Darci, surprised me yesterday by sending me this beautiful shelf for my art studio! There are so many special features about it that I love. It’s not square. I love all shapes, except square ones. Thank you, sis, not only does it match the slope of my ceiling, I can be in my space and always be looking at how beautiful this is and think of you. As above, so below.

Winterstorm Warning?
The last week here has been beautiful weather-wise. Clear sunny days, minimal clouds, upper 60’s. My kids have been in summer clothes for the majority of it. I’ve even shut off the heat several times. It’s been nice and spring is starting to poke it’s head out. So this morning I’m getting text messages from family and friends in the area to start stocking up, snow storm coming. Then I got an AccuWeather notification on my phone about it. The headline read “Worst Colorado snow storm since 1885” talking about how my area is going to get up to 3 feet of snow. I know that 3 feet of snow…

I love productive days
I feel like the days I have to deal with people and business are more work than anything. I despise the telephone and being on the telephone. It’s almost like a magnet for my children when they see me on the phone, an open invitation to make as much noise as possible and be as needy as a newborn. I got thru it and still got a lot done. I let my driver’s license expire and didn’t realize it. I thought for sure I’d have to go in and retake the driving test but I was able to renew it online and pay a small fee. I had to get…

WoW and other interests intercept
So I joined a guild. Nothing wrong with the guild, at all. Great bunch of people, I’ve almost leveled to 60 again. I’m having a blast. I just have such limited time and due to my ADD, my interests change at a second’s notice. I started to unpack my art studio and I have it 3/4 of the way set up. Naw, maybe half set up. I’m actually hanging my art up for the first time. Never in my 40ish years have I ever hung up something I was proud of. I’m doing it now and it feels good. It’s extremely motivating. I started drawing free-hand again and it’s like…

I joined a guild .. False Advertisement
This is the first guild I’ve actively searched. I found them via Facebook group called “35 and older” and found they are a great bunch of people. At least so far. I’m happy to be part of a guild again. I played with my sister for a while but she’s developed vertigo and can’t play anymore and I got lonely. World of Warcraft really is better when you have friends. Hopefully, I make some, lol. So far so good.

I started a new hobby. Wood burning aka pyrography.
My hubby got me a wood burner a few years ago for Christmas. I was knee deep in Motherhood with a toddler and a newborn so any tasks other than care taking tiny humans wasn’t an option. So it’s sat on the shelf. Fast forward to the world of TicTok in 2020. I watched a video about a girl who said, since we are all in pandemic lockdown try a new hobby like wood burning! Kids are a little older and slightly less needy so I dusted off my brand new never opened burner and tried it out. I’ve been doing it for about a month now. I think I’m…

Shadowlands is here!!
The new World of Warcraft expansion went live last night and I was so excited. I’m barely through the cut screens but it’s still so magical. I used to have a group of people I’ve played with over the years but these days I mostly play alone. My sister will pop on every once and a while and I’ll see Cam doing her guild stuff. I still love this game.
