Mama's Big Ol' Blog

My old blog. Like nostalgia for the old mama over here.

My busy [it's like "my bad", right?]

I've noticed it's been weeks since I've posted. Naughty Mama! But I have good reason - I've been busy.

My eldest has started expensive, long-term, weekly vision therapy appointments to deal with her severe eye teaming and tracking issues. We drive an hour each way to get there. This is, of course, NOT covered by Medicaid.

We're planning our gigantic party, including the beer and root beer. It's Viking Brewery, so you know it's good. I can't wait for the Mjod on tap...

We've started letting our 8 month-old cat outside. She evidently has crazy bad anxiety about our being outside without her. The things she's destroyed in our absence are legion. So we're letting her out with us, which takes more monitoring but makes the girls deliriously happy.

There's been a lot of death around us, by relation. Friends, family. The last one made three, so it should be over for a while, right?

And oh yeah, we're officially married now. As of last night. The full moon was beautiful, the valley foggy, the evening sky lightly colored with the last bits of backlit stripey clouds. All punctuated with the horrible yowls of our kitten, wondering why we went outside without her. Just call me Misses.... or is that Missus? I don't want to know. My mom called me tonight and put the phone to her piano while she played the beginning of the Wedding March. She's cute like that.

And I'm still broke, but focusing on my inner journey, which I think is where I need to be right now. But I wouldn't reject the right thing that paid something... Ahem.
