Well. Okay. I really just am posting this because I've had the same journal post up for ages, and it ceased to be relevant in any way looong ago. When I look back at summer and early autumn, they simultaneously seem like they were just yesterday, and also eons ago. Possibly false memories or part of someone else's life. Not sure I'll ever fully process the things that happened in the month of October. Meh, I'll write about all that another day, that haunting month has basically seeped into my art anyways.

Hee, birthdays. I'm not yet at an age where they don't secretly delight me, and maybe it will always be this way. Life hasn't exactly been a peach lately, but it goes on.

In other news, I got an artist's easel for my birthday. A huge one. Now if I decide to do a painting, I don't need to clear off the entire floor or do it outside. My cats are trying to figure out if they can climb it. 'tis marvelous.

Also got to see my grandma, my uncle, and his partner over the weekend, which was wonderful. They live on the other side of the country and so I don't get to see them very often, but it was a good visit. My husband cooked some delicious things. We all ate too much food.

Hope everyone else is doing okay.
