Day 78

Tulips remind me of my mother.

Candles for Mama Bear and Alan.

Spring is coming.

Day 64


There really aren’t enough (or the right) words to adequately describe love.  But this little fur ball has all of ours times infinity.  She is the glue.  She is the joy.  She is the reason we have survived thus far.

There isn’t anything we wouldn’t do for her.  Our baby girl.  Our Lucy.

Day 57

Today was a crazily long day.  In the end, it wasn’t a bad day.  Things worked out – all went smoothly.  But I’m tired, and I can’t wait to lie in bed and drift off to sleep.

it’s strange to think that in a few days, we will be in March.  And then hitting the one year mark of lockdown.  And then a full year since life flipped upside down.

Time is wild.

Day 50

Welp! Fifty days!!

I’m a little proud of myself for sticking with this.  I think it’s helped me clarify my mind and know myself better.  I‘ve enjoyed that.

In the spirit of photo Friday,  a little glimpse at the beautiful flowers that arrived for me last Friday.  Roses & lilies.  My favorites.

Life has taken some dips and turns this week, but every night I am grateful that I do this whole thing with John, and that we have created the life we have.  It is beautiful.

Day 43

 

I was having a lovely afternoon reading and writing.  I got up — momentarily! — and returned to find that Lucy had reclaimed what she believes is rightfully hers (the chair).  This is my life.  Haha!

Day 36

I’m struggling these days to find much to be joyous about — partly me, partly Covid, partly winter blues.  But snow always makes my heart smile.  It’s beautiful.

This was a midday walk with Lucy, bright blue skies, icy snow kinda day.  And that’s okay.

Day 29

Today was a medicine day.  And it was my first infusion at a new infusion site (my old site no longer does outpatient infusions).  It was alright.  I’m exhausted and don’t have much to say.  Happy Friday!  Happy We-Are-Almost-Through-January!

#photofriday ~ home

I was feeling a little sentimental about our house today (which we .. erm, the man … cleaned because tomorrow we are throwing my little brother a little fete).

We have lived here for over four years.  It is nearly the longest I have lived anywhere.  It’s where John and I began as an us, it’s where we celebrated our marriage … our home means the world to me.  Happy Friday.

Please note that Lucy has her own mansion within our home.  And her toys belong … well, wherever she wants to leave them.  🙂

grateful #photofriday

I’ve never seen my husband cry.  He’s not that sort of guy.  But today, on the phone, he said his eyes were full of tears of joy.

Today brought us some truly great news.  I don’t think I realized the weight I was carrying and how it was eating away at me until the fear went away this morning.  Heavy, right?

Some pictures that make me happy for today’s #photofriday

Two of my favorite places on Earth ~ Jackson Hole, WY and Bamburgh, Northumberland.  (Yes, Bamburgh does actually look like that).

I cannot express into words how much I love my little brother.  It’s a lot.  I’m lucky to have such an awesome sibling. I just wish there were more pics of us at this age.  Too cute.

My dad, my brother dressed up as Richie Tenenbaum and me at a PSU tailgate.  A tradition we have had since before I was born.  Penn State is part of who I am.

 

My mama and my aunt.  The twins.  Both incredible people, and the best examples of being a strong, smart, independent woman.

The family John and I have built together over the past five plus years.  Couldn’t have survived this summer without my man and my pup.  They are my whole heart and soul. (PS.  This isn’t the most flattering photo of the two of us, but it is our whole family, including Lucy’s beloved Dragon Draco).

Happy Friday the 13th.  Xo.
