I had not planned on slowing down for the summer, but, as I really should have learned by now, I seem to have very little control over how things go in my life. Atti’s still recovering and doing awesome but his eyes just look gruesome right now. The white part is still red and blistery looking, and his blue/hazel eyes are set off in such stark contrast against it that it’s a little bit spooky. On top of that, I was used to a little cross-eyed baby and now I have these bloody blue eyes peering directly into me. It’s a little bit disconcerting.
I’ve been running around like crazy behind the scenes here, trying to make some career opportunities happen, trying to track down the cause of all these nerve-wracking chest pains, and trying to not blow my top at any medical professional who doesn’t listen to me. I guess some people think that it’s calming if the doctor doesn’t seem terribly concerned, but all you have to do is have one doctor call you crazy and suddenly any attempts at calmness just seem like you’re not being taken seriously.
I have been neglecting you my dear blog, and I have a bunch I have to share, but for today I thought I’d throw a little party. My five year anniversary is coming in November and I have a bunch of stuff planned for that, but I couldn’t resist a mini-celebration for hitting the big 4-0-0. You guys have meant so much to me, particularly over the last year. The needs of my little man keep me fairly isolated from my community, but I don’t feel that loss for a moment because I have such a supportive and nurturing group of people cheering me on. Really, I can’t say enough how much I value you all.
So, leave me a little comment (make sure you enter an email address or leave a link) and I will draw one winner at random who will get to select *any* item they wish from my shop. That’s right, one free item of your choice just for coming by and saying hi. I’ll pick a winner on Friday, at 9am Pacific time.
Because I love you guys, and sometimes I just don’t say it enough.
