A Very Personal Ad

Things that I want: More time for painting

Ways this could work: I could make more time, or I could ask other people to make more time, or I could take time from other things, or I could combine the time I use for other things with painting time

I'll play with: Making more time, and asking other people to give me time, in ways which make fun happen for me, not in ways which make me cry about housework

The Hard Stuff

Illness. Tiredness. Pain. Self-loathing. PMS. Bodily emissions. My temper.

Hallo Hallo Announcement Time

Rob and I have been together for thirteen years, and for all of that time we intended to get and stay married, have children, make a home and a family, and be as kind to one another as we are able. We're doing ok with that, in spite of some rough times. Goal not yet achieved, because we're both still alive, but we're definitely ticking that tickybox when the time comes.

My art blog is giving me pleasure and helping me feel more entitled to paint, so that's interesting and useful. I've been posting more than just photos recently, since my phone was stolen and I can't take photos any more. Also I'm going to get Rob to take photos and email them to me.
