Pulling the Trigger
 Creepy Enola is creepy.
Last night I had an anxiety nightmare. The genre of this one is "I can't have good things," with a side order of "Help! I can't get to where I'm supposed to be!" I know exactly what triggered it, too. No, I won't discuss it, except to say that the person involved eventually did get s...

Getting Back on the Journaling Train
Well, I'm gonna try, but with a twist. This is my new Canon Ivy printer, with a couple of pictures I shot today. They definitely have a blue shift to them, but that's okay. The cunning plan is to try paper journaling again. Not the fancy, artsy craftsy stuff. Just pen, paper, and a picture or two. ...

Meet the Kittens!
About a month ago the Cat Distribution Network gifted us with a pair of kittens!
The thing we haven't mentioned is that we lost Daenerys back in June. She had never really been a healthy kitty, and we tried to give her the best life we could.
We thought that perhaps the next time around we migh...

The Great Photo Organization Project
(Note: I just copied this from Facebook because I realized I hadn't mentioned it here.)
Okay, so I promised a post about the positives of the negatives project. Or something like that. For those who missed out on the post of several weeks ago (or forgot. Happens to me all the time!), I've embarked on a project to scan and catalog all of my negatives.
I shot a lot of film b...

Updatery
Oh hai. I'm still alive. This three week chemo schedule gives my body some much-needed extra time to recover, but it hits me harder. My care team assures me that what I'm experiencing is within the bell curve of normal, if normal is even a proper term.
Had a check-in with my PCP yesterday, and there was nothing unexpected going on there, so that's all good.
Since I'm pretty well exhausted all the time I've been looking for something to do t...

About That Small Vacation...
Hey, it's been a while. I'll work on a catch-up post, but I did mention a small vacation.
How small? Oh, only a seven day cruise to the Western Caribbean. So yes, we did get a good deal on the cruise, and yes, we sprung for the deluxe drink package, along with several excursions. ...

Lightning Achievement Unlocked!
I've been hoping for years to get a lightning photo. Any photo would do - I just wanted to capture a lightning bolt.
Tonight was the night. And I'm glad I wasn't out for perfection or I'd never have gotten the shot. I was in the car at a traffic light with my cell phone. So yes, it's not the best quality, but I'm really happy to have done it!

Behold! Eclipse Pictures!
I'm in North Texas, so we had a lot of cloud cover. Also had camera trouble. However, the clouds parted for at least a portion of totality, and it was awesome. Truly a once in a lifetime experience. Unless I want to spend a ton of money to go to another location. I don't think that's going to happen.
Anyway, have some pictures!

A Two-Week Vacation With NO DSLR
I know I'm late on this. It's been a fall.
We finally got a vacation in September - two weeks in the UK! Then we brought home an unwanted souvenir. Of course, work really backed up, and so, here we are in mid-December.
I did spend my illness - brain fog and all - putting together a journal of our vacation. You can see it here.
Normally I lug along a DSLR and a coupl...
