I’m so very sorry for your loss and for the fact that you have to wait to grieve properly. I also just have to say that T1 sucks. My husband is T1 and, though he takes good care of himself for the most part, I still worry.

I get caught up in work for a few hours and come back to find out this lovely news!

I don’t care if the dog is male or female, I hope she named it Lady.

I’m sure you’ll get there! I can’t figure out crocheting to save my life, though I was taught how to when I was little. So I just stick to knitting.

Thank you! Yep, I’m using a set of 32" circulars.

Thank you!

Let’s see if this works.

Well that’s something I can’t under either!

Oh my goodness, yes. It’s only after 10 years together and this latest depressive episode (and really, the worst one yet) that my husband finally seems to get the idea that this is not something that he can fix. Depression is not something that I can make go away just by doing things that are “good” for me (which he…

I’m not sure why it is, but I very rarely get asked if I have children and, if I do and say no, I’m not asked follow up questions.

Those are absolutely adorable! I want those for my non-existent cake now!

I finally saw Sara and Hero’s act this week (I’m only sporadically paying attention while my husband watches this show) and I also would have loved to see them win because dogs.

Thank you! I figured I better let the professionals handle my hair and makeup for my sister’s wedding. It was fun!

Those are both adorable!

I finished that wrap, and just in time!

Teriyaki chicken with broccoli and carrots. At least that’s what I’m making tomorrow with the leftovers being available to feast on for the rest of the week.

I’m so sorry to hear you have shingles. I had a flare up when I was 18 on my chest and back and, thankfully, haven’t had another since then. I hope you have a speedy recovery.
