Currently October 2021 Posted: 03 Nov 2021 02:22 AM PDT   Currently October 2021 October was equally fun as it was stressful and overwhelming.  Going through the ups and downs with insurance and mammograms and biopsy, wiped me out emotionally.  On the bright side,  I was able to do a lot of art with friends, read a book, participated in a virtual book club. I also got a physical and bloodwork was done so HOORAY for not putting things off.  In October, I participated in a drawing challenge- #theydrawandcook 31 days of food-related prompts!  I used part of the template from my monthly calendar (cut it out to make a grid!) and drew a small 1-inch square drawing every day. I LOVED IT!  It kept me thinking about all of the foods we eat this time of year. It also reminded me how much I love making art a daily practice.  All the Good Things! Rain!!! The rundown! Let’s get into it.  I like looking back at my yard in these currently posts. Front yard in October!  The drought made these change color earlier this year. This is was my yard looked like before all of the rain. Inspired By: Hangouts with friends! Finding new things to look at home. Watercolor painting day at Neiley’s with lady friends! Painting skulls at Meagan’s! The picnic table Casey made me is finally outside and ready to use. My child working hard in baseball!!   He’s such a huge light in my life and HE IS THIRTEEEEEEEN this month!!!!!! I’ve also been working on this Intentions for the Week workbook all year and I’m finally selling it in my shop (VERY SOON!) Watching: Mean Girls Maid Ted Lasso Sex Education Rewind Physical Rita Moreno Documenatry Brittany Murphy Documentary Reading: The Road Less Traveled Thriving as an Empath Heal Your Body Healing Adult Children of Narcissists  Thinking About: The holidays My Mom My Dad The Future My career Listening To: To feel the feels: This makes me happy. My new alarm in the morning is this song: On repeat:   Dream Life: I think I got some of my lucid dreaming skills back this month. It’s been a while! I really need to keep a journal next to my bed to write them down when I wake up.  I end up with a lot of deja vu throughout the day because of my dreams. I think my Mom was in one of my dreams too. Someone morphed into her while I was talking to them and I remember being WHOA YOU’RE MOM NOW!  I wish I could remember who that someone was. Eating/Drinking: Vanilla Almond Milk Tea is my new favorite thing.  A can of refried beans can/does save the day!  Comfort food! Shared my new favorite Meal Prep recipe- Artichoke Egg Bites  Hippy Pumpkin Bread is another meal prep staple! They are great as muffins too!  Cooper ordered some cinnamon swirl pancakes when we went out to breakfast as a family this month and I haven’t stopped thinking about them since.  Went out for drinks! First time at a bar in A VERY LONG TIME!!!  Turned my baked apples recipe into a crisp. It was delicious!  I also got back in the mix with #shutterbeanmealprep  Grateful For: my family/time with my family my health making art a daily practice friends who are my family RAIN! Self Portrait for October 2021   Let’s look into the past:  October 2020 October 2019 October 2018 October 2017 October 2016 I hope you have a wonderful November!
