Our Journey Notes:
T’s appointment brought some good news yesterday. Stopping all but 2 eyedrops and eye pressure in the right eye is right where it needs to be and the left eye dropped 6 points after a stitch was removed. Another 5 points down and it will be exactly where the surgeon is hoping to keep it. He also stated that it was possible that a little vision in the left eye may improve, giving T some hope. Fingers crossed and more prayers being said.

Insomnia is rearing it’s ugly head again. 1.5 hours of sleep overnight. Yep…. Might need a power nap or two today. I’d hoped the change in med dosage would help with that, but it is helping with a few of the other symptoms I’d been experiencing. I know that I have more difficulties with memory when I don’t get adequate sleep… so hopefully, this will be a short cycle.

My Journey Notes:
I got a start on March’s ministering cards yesterday. Spent a good portion of the afternoon coloring the stamped images rather than coloring one and scanning to reprint (a previous default for a few images). It’s a good exercise and a reminder that there is self-improvement in the repetitive process of coloring these images. Grateful for the classes I took a few years ago that helped me hone some skills while using colored pencils. The blending part is very relaxing and the results I’m having make me feel good. And it feels especially good to fill the day on a snowy day. Hoping to finish up the remaining images with color today before working on the remaining elements for the cards.

My Journey Notes:
This year has been an interesting one overall. Finding words and staying focused have been the biggest issues when looking back over the year. Lists have been my biggest saving grace this year. I’m grateful that I’ve had years of practice of using them and have been able to fine tune their use AND am able to give myself grace when I don’t complete everything on the list for the day.
