It’s been raining most all of the past week…. with only little splashes of sunshine scattered about. So I was happy to be able to get beams of sunshine on this flowering plant in the common courtyards. It’s also been cooler…. which has been great for sleeping, lounging about… and well, living comfortably. (yes, I like cooler weather).

Last night, I was able to get out for a short drive… only an hour…. but it was great. I have essentially been home-bound since March 1st… with the exception of some vet and dentist appointments. It’s been hard. Couple that with the fact that my Lupus/ Arthritis/ Back issues have been horrific this year… and yah, it’s been frustrating to say the least. This week, I discovered some wild lettuce growing in one of the common areas… and was able to make some pain relieving tea, and that was amazing. What a difference LESS PAIN makes.

This week, I was able to make 5 new pendulums, and 2 of them sold right away, which is cool. I ordered some (slightly smaller) gemstone pendulum points, and hope to make a whole bunch more pendulums in the next few weeks.

Bugsy’s allergies have improved this week… and although his facial fur is stained, he seems so very much better and more comfortable.

Not sure if I have mentioned, but we finally got our new padded bedframe in. It is made by the same mid-mod style furniture company we got our sleeper couch in the living room from. It is awesome. We also got in a handmade macramé art piece to hang above it… and a fabulous print from an artist in Australia that I greatly admire.

And of course, I’ve continued with my 365 photo project… with a collage of my daily snapshots below.
