its another monday
How do I even start this post off? Ugh. I mentioned in my last post that Chase’s mom was improving, but on Tuesday she passed. It was a shock because she’d been so much better. Can the universe please just give us a break? Yesterday we made arrangements to fly up for her Celebration of Life in a few weeks.…

i got nothing
seriously I’m not even sure why I’m making a post today, I guess habit? Because I have nothing new to post about today! This weekend was hard. I don’t like going into personal life stuff online too much, so I’m struggling with how much I want to post here. Basically the weekend of Dragoncon 2 things happened; first, Chase’s mother…

Dragoncon 2019 Wrap-Up
It’s my favourite post of the year! The post where I get to recap Dragoncon and post all my fav pics. So Wednesday I went into work early so I could leave early (2), which ended up not being necessary… I’d pretty much gotten everything packed Tuesday night and all I really had left was stuff like my toothbrush, medicine,…

a few last minute pics
AHHHH god I still have to work today. I’m off at 2 and we’ll probably hit the road at like 5 or so, so we won’t be into Atlanta until very late. I figured I’d post my last handful of progress photos. Finished necklace! Well, mostly, I was about to glue the necklace chain in place. Chase got the mother…

risk category 5
We are officially in risk category 5, but I have achieved my state of clear. Everything is pretty much done at this point. Now it’s just struggling thru half this week at work until I can set my out of office and I’m on the road. Friday afternoon I got my hairs re-redded. And brows waxed. Slowly emerging from the…

friiiiiiiday update
So first a Chase update. LIke I said in my last post, he ended up having to call an ambulance and go to the ER. My parents were thankfully able to sit with him until I got off work. They did another MRI and gave him a ton of pain meds and some muscle relaxers and by the time he…

who was phone
Well. Chase was feeling a lot better last week. Was able to go to my cousin’s wedding reception Friday night (he just stayed in a wheelchair), Saturday he was able to walk around and do his own stuff and and even came upstairs once, and that afternoon drove my car to Hobby Lobby (he stayed in the car while I…

that’s enough for me
Yes I’m posting on a Friday, the world has gone mad. Nah we’re just in THREAT LEVEL DRAGONCON so I thought I’d do an extra update. First, Ash and I had a good time in Nashville. Today’s post title thanks to this wonderful album cover we saw at Great Escape. We had time to run around a bit before the…

xylophones
Did anybody else’s elementary school music class consist of mostly playing xylophones? Everytime the teacher assigned us a xylophone to play, I was always given one of the tiny ones to play. I always really wanted to play one of the bigger ones with the little mallets. Nobody ever let me play the big ones with the mallets. I’d sneak…

Dragoncon State of the Union: August Edition
I know I just kinda wrote out a to-do list in Monday’s post but my brain is screaming in anxiety today and it helps to write lists. So I’m going ahead with my August state of the union. 1. Dr Crusher is DONE! Finished her up last week, last few details like sewing in magnets for the communicators, styling the…

weird & wacky
When you have so few pics for today’s post that you don’t even have a good one for a header… So what a freaking weird weekend it was. I don’t actually have a lot of photos to show today. Last week I focused on finishing up Crusher – I got the shoulder pads in, shortened the sleeves, got the magnets…
-
more than a feeling
I don’t have a TON to show today because even though I worked nonstop every night last week, it was all finishings on the jacket/redoing the sleeves/getting all the closures put on and taken off because they’re not right and put back on and oops it needs to be a half inch lower, etc. That being said my vinyl for…

MEH
So to conclude the saga of the artist who won’t send out the stuff I bought from him… doing a chargeback with our bank today. Disappointing to say the least. So let’s see, what have I done the past week? It took me a few days to recover from ABC so last week I didn’t get a ton done. Started…

walking the children in nature
what a week! I am a permanently exhausted pigeon. Since I last left off, Scott got in Tuesday! Chase took the rest of the week off so the two of them could go get in to trouble and just hang out. Meanwhile I still had to work and was up at 5:30 every morning so I could work extra to…

might as well be walking on the sun
We are now beginning WEEK FOUR of having no AC at work. UGH. They were here last week on wednesday working on it, had a crane lifting parts in place. And yet its still not working today, what is happening?! The biggest issue with it is I think this is the reason my face is broken out like a hormonal…

oh my
what a busy weekend. My whole body hurts and I don’t know why! So to back up. Didn’t get a whole lot of sewing stuff done last week, was still working on the house. But I did get my fabric for Hera on Monday…. Ummmm not an immediate love here. I set it out and decided to just think about…

white & nerdy
Chase has JURY DUTY today!! I’m so relieved somebody OTHER than me finally has jury duty. But at the same time hoping he gets done quick and doesn’t have to be down there all week. Because going downtown for that everyday sucks. Especially today, it was raining all morning and he had to walk a couple of blocks from the…

fre sh vac a do
So this weekend I realized just HOW MUCH there is left to do on our house to at least get it to a state of “finished”! OMG. 2 weeks from yesterday we’ll be having a bridal shower at our house (YAY) and then a week and a half after that Chase’s brother Scott is coming down to visit for a…

Dragoncon 2019 State of the Union
It’s the rare second post in a week but I decided it was time to do a big ole’ Dragoncon post so it’s not taking up room in my next weekly post. 1. Dr Crusher! NEW and almost done! YAY! Seriously I got my lab coat material yesterday, it looked great, no need for dye, got it washed and dried…

i need a bat box
We did some yardwork yesterday morning and I got absolutely eaten alive by mosquitos. I’ve been wanting to get a Bat Box for YEARS and now that we’re in this new house where we have to do a bit more yard upkeep, I gotta have it! I need some bats to move in and eat all these mosquitos. I was…
