When she gets really mad she crosses her fingers on both hands and holds them up like she's flipping me the bird. But her fingers are crossed and I always start cracking up. She's so inherently sweet it's hard to take any of her anger seriously.

Awww. XD That's so cute. She must hate when you laugh at her like that, though. XD

aww, thanks! ❤

have been doing a lot of writing the past few weeks, but this week seems like maybe a bit of a break to recharge. Also catch up on non writing things.

Maybe sleep, too.

I am hoping not to need to go on sleep medication but it might happen if it doesn't improve over how it's being now

glad they're working for you!

ooh neat the original is so good it's hard to believe but... I have confidence in your judgment!

Strangly enough she doesn't seem to mind!! Like I've said she's pretty easy going. So is my hubs and I'm sure she gets it from him. :-) When we meet someone new I'll say "Liz tell insert name why we had you" She'll then say "somebody to pick on" She's a character! :-D

I know you love writing! I sure wish I could stick with it like you do. Eventually you have to sleep!! 🙏 About once a week I manage to catch up and last night was it. :-) So amazing to feel good the whole day!

That's super funny and adorable. She sounds like she's fun to hang out with!

tomatoes, green beans, potatoes, etc. lol
will make good veggie soup this winter :)

I'm so happy for you! it's a nice feeling to get a good sleep.

She really is fun and I know I'm lucky to have her!! How's the Shakespeare reading going? It sounds so fun to me!!

It was short lived. Ugh! LOL! Hubs had to get up super early and my dog woke up and he does a dog shake and he's so noisy it always wakes me up. But I have a fairly easy day. Liz and I are picking up her new friend (someone she's known but recently became friends with) and going to go to a park and have a picnic. I made them homemade Lunchables. I hope your day is going well!!!!!

We're picking up again on the 4th. I'm excited! I am working on my Halloween card project--I know it's early, but I don't do Christmas cards, and my carpal tunnel's pretty bad this year, so I started early.

I'm excited for you and wish I had a group that I could read Shakespeare with!! That's cute you do Halloween cards! :-) I don't do Christmas cards either. Carpal Tunnel is not fun! :-( I had De Quervain's Tenosynovitis on both hands and it effects the thumb as opposed to the little finger. I had surgery on the right hand about 24 years ago and it hasn't bothered me since. I had therapy for the left hand and it wasn't as bad so that's all I needed.

Thanks! It's fun. I'm glad you think so! The carpal tunnel is bad, so's the cubital tunnel... my hands are a mess. XD I hope you're well!

I Googled Cubital and I I don't know how you do it! <3 Would totally drive me crazy to have so many aches! Is all of that caused by your hypermobility syndrome?

I need a bit longer to make one with a base/figure, but here's a quick HA without with the new item!

Private Outfit

my day went OK.

Homemade Lunchables sounds like an oxymoron 😆

The carpet you chose for the bottom of that HA works really well! Looks great!

:-D That's funny about the lunchables and I hadn't thought of it that way. :-P I used Trader Joe's fresh rectangular pizza crusts and cut them up and included salami and cheese. My daughter doesn't like tomatoes so I used ranch dressing and put it all in food prep containers. The girls seemed to enjoy them. I couldn't fit the apple slices in a way that wouldn't make the pizza bread soggy so they got put in separate snack bags. Thank you!! <3 Right when I looked in the HA Ground category I saw the yoga mat and it worked perfectly. I hope you get caught up on sleep tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It might be. But I've also crafted and typed improperly for years. I'm a bit young to be this bad off--that part is exacerbated by the hypermobility syndrome--but the rest is just natural.

Better today than yesterday so fingers crossed for improving even a bit. How are you today?

Such a cute ha! love the spring animals XD

LOVE LOVE LOVE waht you did! Imma have to make an ha with it soon too :D

I have never heard of canning potatoes. I guess they do tho the canned potatoes in the store :O do you use the same brine like when you do pickles or cucumbers?

I'm glad you're doing better today! I have a really bad migraine, but can't sleep anymore. I might go lay down and listen to music or something but I'm really frustrated by my body today.

Ugh Im sorry, I wish the migraines would leave you alone

ah, thank you! I just made a HA to wear with it, I'll switch to it later today.

I love your current HA! I know those items you used, I have that shirt! I entered a contest with that dress/skirt! my friend Galaxia did those boots! I have a recolor of that hairstyle too... and I think the background is a recolor of one I won in one of ulalena's contests... anyway. I love how well it all goes together and how much of it I recognize.

I slept so well last night, it was great. More than 8 hours!!!

Thanks. I know what likely causes them, and it isn't going away any time soon, but I appreciate the kindness
