This week, we set up a new backdrop that simulates “bokeh balls”, which is when points of light in a photo are out of focus and are glowing balls (“bokeh” is a term for nature of the out of focus part of a picture). It is a bokeh backdrop of […]
Today I took Felix in to the vet to talk about neutering him. I like to wait until my dogs are two years old before fixing them, but Felix is an unusual case. He has an undescended testicle and a hernia. About once a week, he acts all uncomfortable for […]
We had to go to Sam’s Club today to get a new battery. When we went out to the car to leave, of course our car wouldn’t start (see my previous post). We asked our neighbor to give us a jump, and at first he tried his car jumping machine, […]
Yesterday was quite the unanticipated adventure! We had planned to go to the Lindsay Pettus Greenway to scout out locations for photos for the NAMI walk coming up in October there. The forecast said it’d be dry until 7PM, so we got all ready and left the house around 3:30. […]
Today Brad saw his ME specialist. We see him in person once a year, and talk with him by phone in between. Today was the in-person appointment. It was a really early appointment for Brad, at 11AM. So Brad got up almost as early as I normally do! He was […]
This Sunday we went over to my friend Sabrina’s house to celebrate my birthday! Brad wanted to use some of his camera equipment to get interesting shots. He has a new lens that is a centerfield split diopter, which allows him to get things in the foreground in focus, as […]
Today I wore my Mirabel dress (from Disney’s “Encanto”), and I think it made me into a hero! The day started off easy enough. I took Felix to the NAMI Hut to hang out with other facilitators. My friend Marija was there, and we chatted with Julia and her baby […]
When it rains it pours! In the past month, the following things have been broken or needed urgent attention: mixer, van muffler, kitchen sink, my computer, and now you can add Hestia to that list! On Tuesday, a few times Hestia would be lying down and suddenly yelp. We examined […]
Today we went to the NAMI Hut (their main building in Rock Hill) for coffee and conversation time. I decided to challenge Felix by not bringing his mat and not getting out his Himalayan Chew. I had one in my purse just in case, though! He did a really good […]
On Saturday, we rode the LYNX (light rail) with Sabrina, Indy, and Russ. I’m trying to take Felix on lots of public transportation to prepare him for eventually flying one day. We did the bus last week, and light rail this week. We met up in the parking garage and […]
