So as Lanibeth says…today is day 3. I woke up a little earlier today thinking that maybe I was feeling a little better but as the day dragged on I was getting more and more anxious. I tried to keep busy. I had left over mashed potato and I added salmon, egg and cheese. I…

The TealFeather Studio has docked
So last Monday the box arrived. I was all excited and then I did a crash and burn. I put too much stock in weird shit sometimes. I have wanted this thing for so long and finally spent more than I did on my first car to find I was paralysed with fear and claiming…
Back in the groove and yes I am still alive
So I finally have been in the mood to actually sit down and type this blog. In general, my mood is so much better and holding its own. I am on half my medication and since it was reduced I have been using CBD oil every night. I am wondering if that is making a…
Trying to keep it calm
Yesterday was a pretty intense time at “Not Jean.”I left there ragged and I am struggling to dig myself out. I tried to stay quiet this morning. Chilling out and doing a few things on the internet. I spent last night drawing a new intricate design just to keep my brain occupied. I am supposed…
One more and done.

Know when to fold em!

Postcards from the edge
So I turned some of our vacation photos into a fabric pattern for a vintage postcard competition at Spoonflower.com. I added various filters to my photos until I got the desired effect of making them look like old fashioned postcards. I was very happy with the final result. I ordered some fabric so I can…
One line and I am fried
So this is not going to be very long. It is 2:30am and I cannot eat. For the past few weeks, I have been reigning in the anxiety monster. The trip was one of the best weeks I have had in a long time with the exception of that last flight. That terrified all-consuming angst…
