I’ve opened this browser far too many times without writing anything. Lots on my mind with not much to say for it. I’ve been busy around the house. Most recently, I painted a section of our rec room wall blue and put world map decals over it. I really need to fully paint the rest of the walls down here. Its untreated drywall that is so dirty from almost 6 years of living. So I’ll figure out what color to use in our no-natural-light rec room and after the rest of that wall is painted, I’ll use wall trim to make a ‘frame’ around the map. It was a fun little project.
Holiday season is officially upon us. Generally, I love this time of year. Warm sweaters, coffee and hot cocoa, lights, decorations, laughter, family. Thanksgiving, my birthday 12/2, Christmas and Fiona’s birthday. New years. Ivy’s birthday 1/22. Logically I know that her birthday is a separate entity from the holidays....but emotionally it feels all connected. Last year’s holidays were dusted with the joy of a coming baby. Last Christmas Eve, in the car on the way to my moms, my daughter told me she wanted a kitten instead of a sister. I never ever make resolutions, but last year I resolved to have a baby this year.
We don’t have a little sister here with us. And we have 3 grief cats.
I did birth a baby, but I had to bury her, too.
This is the cloud tangling my cheer.
But, I finally retired my 15 year old charlie brown tree and ordered a proper tree, with new ornaments. And I have a family ornament including Ivy, even if just for this year. I had a memorial ornament made for her, as well.
So, heres to decorating and fa la la la la.
