1. October Star. The first image is my latest tattoo which is a tribute to my cousin Chrissy who passed away on February 18, 2022. What you see before you is “October Star.” Chrissy was born in October and she lit up everyone’s life. I dubbed her our October Star and she will always be that to me/us.

For those of you who do not know, I also compiled several narrative poems, lamentations, and memorial works along with colored photos for her, aptly named, October Star. Information for the book can be found here.

Making this tattoo number 7 for me was a no-brainer. It seems right. It feels right. And I have a feeling Chrissy is smiling and is also pleased with it.

2. Jernee Timid has two new shirts. Since it is getting just a bit warmer, she doesn’t need to wear her sweaters or her hoodie, so I purchased two new T-shirts for her. One is light grey and the other is red.

She is casually donning her red shirt in this photo while commandeering my chair and electric blanket. She likes both shirts and gets aggravated when I take them off at night before she goes to bed. She wants to sleep in them, but I know she’ll get overheated during the middle of the night.

There’s never a dull moment with Jernee, and I have to say, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Every Tuesday, I will share a favorite photo I’ve taken within the week with all of you. This week, it is . . . Jernee’s Box. I will go into depth with this one just a little. Jernee is getting older–she’ll be 16 on April 06, 2024, and I am a preparer by nature.

Therefore, my very GOOD friend Zainey had this small box made for me last year by an Alaskan artist, and I intend to use it for Jernee’s ashes when she has been cremated. I think the box is perfect and is themed appropriately to hold my baby’s remains when that day comes.

I just wanted to share this with all of you. Stay tuned for next Tuesday’s snapshot.

Peace and blessings.

Two Things Thursday #1

1. From my last eye exam and scleral contacts’ fitting, a new prescription was given to me since my right eye has gotten significantly worse.

Keratoconus is doing a number on it. Thus, my lenses are thicker, but my frames are so CUTE! These are the second new pair of glasses that I ordered from Zenni Optical because I love to have a backup pair just in case something happens to the main pair.

But I also switch them up to give myself a little visual pizzazz.

2. Jernee Timid finally wore her raincoat outside in the nasty weather we were having on Tuesday of this week.

The Little Monster usually only likes to put it on and stay inside. She’ll walk to the door and just stop. But on Tuesday, she wore her raincoat multiple times as we went out for her potty breaks and seemed to thoroughly enjoy it as well.
