Manic Energy

I know I overdid and knew it when I was doing it. I've been working beyond my usual habit of overdoing in getting the house clean recently.
 
 I think part of it was in reaction to losing Sir Chris Lee, I know it sounds ridiculous but his movies (and others) helped keep me a little bit sane inside some major mucked up years growing up.  I could escape my PTSD traumatized mind and refocus on the worlds they presented me. The movies, books and music became a life line and led me to art and writing. 
 
For the first time in decades I feel like drawing again and I'm continuing to write. Not knowing how to handle loss, I keep busy. 

Now I have to slow down. I have a psych appt Thursday, other than that, no plans except some weeding, gardening, drawing and writing. And a little upkeep on the house. Well - I do have to scrub the family room floor but that'll take time.

This works well with just breasts or thighs or whatever combo you'd like.  The sauce is fantastic on eggs the next morning too.

Becoming Mom - part whatever

Okay, instead of hand sewing something as I normally would, I used the machine. The design works, the stuff for the project doesn't.  We need bigger pipe insulation. We're making drafty door blockers and the insulation is too small since we ripped out the carpets. So, first foray into sewing with a machine in a long time went well but the project is stalled until tomorrow or Friday.
