It feels like I am more sick today than I was yesterday. Guess I pushed it a touch too hard yesterday. I definitely didn’t sleep all that well last night, and I woke up feeling dreadful. I’d wanted to go back to bed, but was scheduled to meet someone on the grounds this morning. So, I got up and went, anyway, not feeling too well. So, back to being more cautious again, so I can recover fully and faster. The next two days will be early starts again, but I have a bit more control over getting to bed sooner compared to last night. So, hoping for great sleep the next two nights especially!

Thank you, God, for my husband and my daughter and my family. Please, make us well, and keep us safe and together, living your will. In your name, I pray. Amen.

Body is getting loads better, but still fighting this sinus infection. No more huge chunks of terrible yellow-brown semi-solid snot today, which is positive. But still not all the way there.

Nonetheless, trying to get to bed early, but my daughter is not really into it. Haha. We’ve showered, and I’m lying in bed, but she’s still playing in the living room.

Better than crying a bunch in here. Haha.

Still sick today, but made it to the livestock show, anyway, because I want my baby to have the full experience while the rodeo is happening. In another week, we can go back to bed for another couple hours as-needed. For now, we get up and go to the rodeo.

And, boy, was it the right move today. She had a great time doing things a bit differently today, and she melted a lot of hearts with her outfit and her joy today, especially.

Thank you, God. Amen.

I was fine. Then my throat started hurting a little. Like talking too much. Then it started to hurt a lot more right as we were getting ready to have dinner. I let my friend know about it when I realized it was getting worse by the minute, and we packed up the food, cleaned up what we had been doing before dinner, and got me out the door to go home. By the time I got home, my skin was burning up to the touch, my throat felt like it was on fire, and my body was dully aching. Going to bed now, having showered and all, but still feeling dreadful. Coughed up nasty, thick yellow gunk from my nose a few times already.

However, we looked adorable again today. We wore skirts my mom had made for herself and for me to wear together when I was a baby, which was a fun full-circle for me.

Thank you, God. Now, heal us, please, and keep my husband and our baby and me safe and well and together, please. Thank you for our home and our clean, fresh water. In your name, I pray. Amen.

I made us matching outfits for the rodeo, and opted to wear them for the baby shower day and flower-viewing party (It’s a Japanese event.), and it was perfect.

Thank you, God. Amen.

We shall see how our matching outfits do in the morning. I hope they’re just awesome. I wish we were wearing them on a day when more people would get to see us… hmm… maybe I will switch to something else for tomorrow… wear the matching stuff the day after or Tuesday, when we’ll be there longer.

But my husband will get to see us tomorrow…

Ugh. I don’t know.

Yes, tomorrow it is.

I have other outfits to make to wear other days, really. So, yes, now is the time. That’s why I stayed up to finish the pockets on the skirt tonight – so that I could wear it tomorrow.

Thank you, God, for these skills. Please, keep my husband and our baby and me safe and well and together. Thank you for this family and for this home. Help me to love and support and respect them both. In your name, I pray. Amen.

P.S. Today was pi(e) day, so I made sure we all had some pizza pie to celebrate. Even the baby got a taste for today specifically.

My mom doesn’t ever have the time to teach me to sew. She also never makes the time for it and then actually does it. She has, a few times, scheduled doing it, but then usually does something else the majority of that allotted time, and then rushes impatiently through something I am not on the right level to be able to grasp so quickly and with minimal explanation, and I am left barely any more knowledgeable than I began the day in terms of sewing.

Now, I’m working to get a few things done for the livestock show for my daughter and me to be able o match one another. We are also doing an expanded family matching when my stepsister comes to town next weekend. And I’m pretty sure I have to make some of those skirts and bandanas. However, I think my mom doesn’t grasp how difficult it is for me to get any sewing done at all, simply due to the fact that my daughter rarely lets me sew while she is indoors. I could have had everything finished days ago already. As it is, I will have to fight to get it done just before next weekend. And endure lots of intense crying in my daughter’s part. Which I don’t want to do, be the for her sake not for mine.

So, that all kind of sucks right now.

God, keep my husband and baby and me safe and well and together, please. In your name, I pray. Amen.

So sleepy, but I have to set alarms for tonight regarding my period. This sucks.

Post-a-day 2026

I don’t ever enjoy starting my period of menstruation. I have been relieved here and there, at times when I’ve been concerned of my reproductive health, like my last menstruation. But I don’t enjoy it. Tonight has been no exception. But I extra-less enjoy that it is at least a few days ahead of what my usually-correct tracking apps last told me about when to expect it. Of course, I had been surprised when it told me I still had another week. But I shouldn’t have trusted it. It went weird after last menstruation’s random anomaly of timing. It didn’t process that that very likely was a one-off, not something to be added to the average. 28-30 days is my normal, not 45 or whatever it was last time.

Anyway, that just added to the annoyance of the menstruation starting tonight.

And my daughter still has it out for hitting me and pinching nipples while nursing before bed, and it is really pissing me off and overstimulating me on multiple levels.

God, guide us, please, and be gentle with us. Keep my husband and me and our daughter safe and make us well and together. In your name, I pray. Amen.

My daughter now likes to hit me repeatedly while nursing to go to bed. Not cool. Of course, I stop her every time, explain it out, yada yada. But she has kept trying to do it the past few nights, and it is driving me nuts. As though I weren’t already there at the end of each day in the first place…
