It’s the fifth entry in the Just Jot It January challenge!

This morning I was feeling good, so after my shower I asked Dave to walk with me to the activity center so I could start my newest Diamond Art Painting. I’m so excited about it because it’s a custom painting of a picture that is special to me, of me and the boys.

This was just after my mom had passed, and before Josh had all the piercings in his face, but he did have some tattoos already. Those didn’t bother me as much as the piercings. Anyway, it’s my favorite pic of all of us together. It’s rare that when we are together we remember to take pictures.

I could have picked any picture from my camera roll of nature, or anything I wanted, but this called to me. I thought when it’s finished, I can hang it in the motor home and feel like they are with me. Here’s what I’ve done today.

It’s a warm and sunny day, and part of me wants to be laying by the pool. There is always people there, and my FOMO is at an all time high right now, but I’m still feeling shy and vulnerable right now…and I HATE that I feel that way. I’m ready to be well and get back out there and feel free to be me.

The other part is my period of feeling good kind of wanes in the afternoon, when I’ve been a little active and I get tired. I’m sure it’s all due to the new medication, but I don’t like not doing much. You’ve heard it all before, so I’ll move on from that.

I think the mornings are the penultimate period of time for me before the pain pill sets in is what I’m trying to say. 😊
