Is this why I feel like dancing every time I hear music? Hmmmm. Yes, yes it is. Along with being healthy and out of the hell of financially struggling to survive.

Dinner Date with Thomas – Sushi and Conversation
February 17 2024
Dinner date with Thomas tonight. Pisces Sushi with deep, rich conversation. Those conversations where you realize you made many good choices, with just a few not so good, during the past 17+ years.
Raising Thomas and Lillian alone, with no other parental involvement has been one of the most important, the toughest, and most rewarding things I have ever done.
I mean, how did I do so many things right, when I wasn’t even sure what the hell I was doing? Thomas has so much empathy and compassion for others, with a deep, true understanding of the nature of life and local and global issues. Blows my mind! 
I’m happy, grateful, and a bit relieved to be at this stage of the parenting journey.
I cherish these soul nourishing, conversation-filled dates, as the time approaches when I fully hand the wheel to Thomas for the next chapter of their life.
Live Music at Pinon Bottle – Johnny Harpo and Greg Grenade
February 17 2024
First time visiting Piñon last night. I had such a great time! This awesome local band was playing great tunes! They were taking requests, even more fun. I requested Mississippi Queen by Mountain, and they say they’ll do that one when they’ve got the full band there.
Hey South Reno, go check this place out! It was nice to have only a 5 minute drive there and back home. And if you get the chance, go see this band!

She Did It! Another One Off the List – Go Lillian
February 15 2024
Finally getting the endoscopy done! The nurses here are amazing. They used an ultrasound to find a good vein so Lillian Darnell didn’t get poked multiple times. Yay Lillian!!! And thank you clonazepam for helping Lillian not be anxious!! 
**And if you’re that lady who sent me an email the last time I posted about Lillian conquering her fears, please Go Fuck Yourself! You don’t know me, or my kids. If you did, you would not have sent me a message that I use my kid for clicks and to get attention. Plus, Lillian is a woman. She is 22 years old! Unsubscribe from my blog and go away.**

Finally got these hung. I think I need another row across the top.

More photos hung and some rearranging of others. I’m loving the way it feels in here. The Team TLC 2023 photo is made with diamond art by my mom.
The movie wall and a hallway wall remaining.
Thank You for the How To Videos

One bandaid later and I’ve replaced the sprayer head. Maintenance keeps replacing with the same flawed model that gets stuck in spray mode. Absolutely a pain in the ass to turn on the water and be sprayed right in the stomach and all over the kitchen floor. Thank you to the folks who create the “how to” videos, as I had to remove the clip and o ring.

Finally enlarged my favorite Garden of the Gods photo, taken when we attended the 2019 C18 conference. Love how it turned out. 
First Time and I Loved It – Karaoke
February 9 2024
And then I went to my neighbors and did karaoke and danced. Gen X in the house introducing them to some great music!! I’ve never done karaoke and that was so much fun, especially when I can dance at the same time!!

Vulnerable with Wild Abandon
February 4 2024
Think I’ve nailed this one. I have tendency to be vulnerable with wild abandon.
