After much looking, got myself a straw for the paints.
A prof at the seminary where I work asked a question and accidentally prompted the realization that I can paint over my non-water-based pens.
It has been magical ☺️

A quick look at Strong's Concordance for the Greek suggests nah, given the lack of Hebrew equivalencies. If that were the same cloth as a passover lamb, I would expect there to be correspondances 🤷🏻♀️
But I could be wrong

Wow I am tired
Ya girl made it to winter break, year two teaching in a rural title 1 public school.
This year my kids are obsessed with my binder clips, and keep putting them on the top of my laptop (and coffee cup... And posters... And notebooks... And...)

Beyond excited for these pickles... But have to wait to crack into them. Patience is a virtue that will be rewarded with a delicious pickle.

Anyway, it has been over a year of sunrises now.
For those who came from the Other Place, you might remember that I started taking a photo of the sunrise every morning, and sending it to a friend.
It was partly a way to know both of us were still here, existing

All black and grey/lines ☺️
The detail is so amazing I don't feel pressed to color it- at least not permanently. I have def colored in healed tattoo with markers before.
But the shading and everything (this is fresh and healed in this photo) is so stunning healed I have no inclination to do more.

Just a girl and her hot chocolate. Which she tried to sniff, sniffed too close, and got on her nose.
"I don't have enough salt for you." - a real thing said to me today by a real pharmacist. I have a cardiologist now and a heart monitor and I am dizzy and tired.

I feel better having sat on the floor with a cat falling asleep purring into my arm. My heart does not.

Tonight's crystal fuckery.
This candle was lit for me and anyone else who might be warmed by its light and power.
The stones giving that energy-
Rose quartz flame, the most soothing
Rhodonite, a stone for loving oneself out of the darkness, inner strength, and boundaries.

It suddenly occurred to me that I can keep my fire fish.
The fire fish are an object lesson in harm reduction (basically anything drawn on my left thigh is)
And I just remembered I have paint? I can keep the fire fish?

They gave all the teachers ice cream for surviving prep week.
This is normal. If it's a hard day or something cool happened or really anything they can use for an ice cream party, our principals go and bring back ice cream for us.
And I ran 3 miles.
Happy almost first day of school!

Happy to report that I ran just shy of two miles and my knee was fine!
And that I think the crunching noise was the curb vs my shoe, and not my ankle 😅
