October 28th, 2018. My market friends and vendors rallied around Kyle and I after Jack passed. One in particular, who also lost her husband January of that year has been a shoulder to cry on and a rock. She lets me know that my feelings are normal and I'm not completely crazy.

CT scan with contrast scheduled today at 3:30. I have to be there 90 minutes early for blood work so I will need to leave around 1:15. Nothing else on the agenda other than a little housework before my appt. Should be an easy day.

I just go for it, no matter how pretty the paper is. If I cut into it and decide not to use it, I save it for another project.
