I may have had a very vulnerable moment when I came across a puppy in need of a home. I had picked up the ashes of my big boy on Monday and on Wednesday I saw this cute little guy. He’s finally starting to come out of his shell. (The video seems to mess up in the first few seconds, but resumes after a bit.)

I don’t know what I’m doing with another dog, but for now he’s fun to have around, especially since the potty accidents are at a minimum.

I love this!

It’s a pretty cool site in general so you may want to check it out.

I had a few before pics on my camera, but they are not loading onto my computer. This is from my phone and will have to do for now.

I spent all weekend (when I wasn’t taking my Grams to the grocery store or having Sunday dinner) working on making it mine.

I tinted most of the windows (I have to purchase more film,) I painted a wall, I took out the love seat, and I’m loading it up with art books and painting supplies.

I started a painting on my lunch, thinking I could work on it more later, but my work area was commandeered early.  I think it is the best one I have done all week though.

Yesterday’s attempt at the white flower. Still not happy, but getting closer. I felt like my brief college nickname, “Puddles,” was close to reinstatement.  

The irises are dead, but I have some nonwhite flowers I may try. I may just read art magazines on my breaks though.
