Year in Photos

  • July 10

    There’s been a lot of going through the motions this week, and for a while now. Hoping my mojo comes back soon. This is exhausting.

    I have not been sleeping well for several nights now and I was very tired today. I still managed to knit a tail and a leg for my bunny and finish the book I’ve been reading, Lincoln in the Bardo. What an unusual book. Seeing Fort Sumter stirred something in me and I feel fascinated…

    Christina has been having trouble sleeping, so came out to the living room to sleep. Pinot didn’t mind.

    Finished up painting the bedroom and put together the bedside tables, but lost steam for hanging curtains and putting up the photo wall. Still an accomplishment!

    I had lunch plans today that fell through, so I painted the bedroom. That’s normal, right?

    I managed to drag myself to work today, and rewarded myself with family night at the pool and a nice dinner out at Olive Garden afterwards. I love family time, especially when no one is fighting, like tonight. I am determined to make the most of this summer.

    Made it home from South Carolina and spent the day doing absolutely nothing. For some reason I am absolutely exhausted.

    We went to the Bee City Zoo, where we were attacked by parakeets, spit on by llamas, and hand fed kangaroos, giraffes, and monkeys. Robin particularly loved petting the bunnies, especially the little black baby bunny that hopped around all over the place. So fun.

    We went into Charleston today and spent way more money than we should have. The weather eased a little and it was much cooler than the last few days. Robin traded her phone for a very expensive, very cute pair of shoes that brought big smiles to her face and happiness to my heart. Christina…

    We visited Fort Sumter today. We humans have so much history to learn from and yet it feels like we’ve learned so little. Today I stood in the same place where soldiers fought for the integrity of the United States of America over 150 years ago. I could see the artillery in the walls. There…

    We checked Congaree National Park off our list today! We hiked a trail that was described as a good opportunity to spot otters. Unfortunately the creek was almost completely dried up so we didn’t see any. But all the cypress knees were pretty cool.

    We have a cute AirBnB in South Carolina for the next few days, right on a little river. Looking forward to exploring the next few days.

    I spent an awful lot of time in meetings today and I am so exhausted. It is so time for a week off.

    I went to my first escape room today and it was more fun than I expected it would be. The people in my group worked really well together, which I think helped a lot. Also we won. I am grateful for the time I got to spend with people from work, but I am ready…
