Martha influenced me in January. I made an approximation of what would happen if an apron and a hospital gown had a baby.
I also cleaned the pantry.
I painted chalkboard paint all over the insides of my cabinets in February.
I saw the sleep doc in April after 9 years of struggling with insomnia & after 8 months of work finally seem to be winning.
I have had caffeine 3 times since April
My brother in law had a heart attack & had to have faulty valve replaced in March.
In November, my mom had to have a sudden double bypass & valve replacement & while she was recovering from that my dad had to have an operation on his foot due to an infection that wasn’t healing & he lost part of a toe to it.
I was terrorized by lentils
And darkness.
And tower thieves
I finished the second longest cross stitch project ever.
Havoc dyed his hair pink at the start of summer.
I decided to redo the shelving in the bathroom. This required a mallet & a hacksaw.
I decided to replace the shower fixtures in the bathroom. This required a hacksaw, new pipes, a huge hole cut in the back wall & far more effort than the box led me to believe.
There was a 5.8 earthquake centered about 30 miles from me.
We put in new flooring in the back of the house – during a hurricane.
I had my eyebrows threaded.
We gained 4 chickens, lost 3 & then gained 4 more. There were lots of eggs from June until November.
My ASUS gamer laptop after 2 years of running hot finally overheated itself & fried it’s motherboard & processor.
A huge dent was made in the back of the mini van & months later the DVD player became possessed & had to be staked.
We went to Wheeling, to the Air & Space Museum, to the Smithsonian by train, to Florida, to Legoland & to Great Wolf Lodge
