Out With the Old – In With the New
March 25 2021
I’m more excited about this than I expected. The first two pieces of my new bed arrived today. Pillows, mattress, and platform frame coming next week. 🎉🎉🎉
I bought a queen size tempurpedic when I was pregnant with Thomas. 15 years ago. It’s just me, and has been only me, sleeping in it for 14 years. I don’t need that much room. 😂
I have lugged that darn thing with us for 15 years. I’ve wanted to downsize to a full size bed for 6 years. Handling and moving a queen size tempurpedic is like trying to move a 500 pound block of jello. 😳
It’s still in near perfect condition, so if anyone in the area needs a bed, it’s yours. ❤️❤️❤️
March 31 2021
This afternoon I bid farewell to the bed I’ve slept on for the past 15 years. It’s got a new job, providing a good nights sleep for folks who are mending their life at The Ridgehouse.
15 years may seem like end of life for a mattress. Not this sucker. Those tempurpedic mattresses never die! I’m sure it’s got another 15 years! I’m happy to be downsizing to a full size vegan, organic, hybrid (which hasn’t arrived yet!) Air mattress sleeping for me until it arrives. 🛌 😴 💤

The bed frame arrived. The sheets arrived week before last. Now. Just need the mattress and pillow. Fingers crossed that the mattress ships tomorrow. 🎉🎉🎉😴😴😴🎉🎉🎉
April 11 2021
I did it! And, it was fun! 🎉 The platform frame is put together, ready for the mattress (arriving today), and ready for this person to have a comfy nights sleep.
Finished! Need different pillows and bedspread as these are Lillian’s. I. Am. Tired. I shall sleep good tonight. Thank you to my sweet Thomas for helping me get this beast of a mattress up the stairs. Whew!

It’s totally normal that every time I use my new pillow, I’m thinking, “I loooove you pillow, you’re so comfy”. Right?
… And my new bed …. They are just the best!!
When it’s been 15 years since one has been in a relationship, much less even dated, having a comfy bed, pillow, and bedding it quite titillating …

Thomas and Camilla February 2021 Date Day
February 25 2021
Thomas and Camilla February 2021 Date Day
Maya’s South Indian Cuisine – Avial for me, Chicken Chettinad for Thomas.
Next, picking up my cake for tomorrow – Vegan Chocolate Mousse Cake 😋😛😋 Thomas secured the precious cargo in the backseat. 🤣🤪😂
Followed by Yogurt Beach for dessert. Mango sorbet for me, and I have no idea for Thomas, it was a mixture of 3 different flavors.
Ending with a walk we’ve not taken for quite a while. Lots of memories along this trail, too.
Loving Human Touch Means the World
February 3 2021
A deeply, deeply needed craniosacral session = Happy, relieved face. Thank you Christine! See you in one month so we can do it again.
Something that needed help moving through, and was stuck in my lower back and pelvis …. I am overwhelmed at times with the enormity of being the sole parent and decision maker. And, I am kinda, sort of lonely, with it having been about 13 years since I’ve been in a relationship, not having another humans loving touch. My heart, mind, and body agree that this is okay to address.
Craniosacral is powerful medicine, people. That and acupressure are two powerful hands on healing modalities.
Ok. Bye for now. I’m going to make dinner. ❤️💐💐💐

Lillian and Camilla February 2021 Date Day
Part 1: Fries and garlic knots from Noble Pie Parlor – Summit Reno, with a salad made by me. First time having the garlic knots …. Delicious!!!
We already knew we love their fries. I’m so thrilled to have this amazing restaurant so close to us!!! Snickerdoodle cookie for Lillian for dessert, heirloom sea salt chocolate for me.
Part 2: A walk on one of our favorite walking trails. Thomas learned to ride a bike on this trail. Many memories here. They sneak up and grab you when you least expect it. ❤️❤️❤️
We had a part 3 to the Lillian and Camilla February 2021 Date Day.
Reading together … 🥰🥰🥰

Team TLC 2021 Valentine’s Day
February 14 2021
Happy Happy Happy Valentine’s Day to my forever loves. Love you, Thomas and Lillian, forever and ever, always and always …. 💖💖💖 … I made each of them a heart shaped crystal sun catcher (with crystal beads). Sending oceans of love to all of you, too … 💜💜💜
Thank you to The Romano Duo for delivering Valentine’s Day gifts, too! Hyacinths and an adorable red monkey for me. I was today years old when I learned how much I needed a fluffy red monkey. A beautiful plant for Thomas, and a rose plant for Lillian. Thank you Romano Duo!! 💚💚💚
Conscious Socks With Neon Shoes from The Netherlands With Rock Love
February 5 2021
It’s been ages since I bought myself new socks. Finally got the ones I ordered last week. Socks with a conscious! Yes!💥❤️🧡💙💚💜🖤🤍🤎💛💥
February 5 2021
I finally got the new shoes I ordered nearly a month ago. I didn’t realize they were coming from The Netherlands. 😂🤣😂 I also didn’t realize they were neon. Wow! I’ve time traveled back to the 80’s! Now, if I could just have my 80’s body please.
Wore them for my first full 30 minute walk since my back flipped out 3 weeks ago. I started back at 10 minute walks.
Nature made sure to give me a message along the way. 🤍🤍🤍
