I made it through an emotionally difficult week of grief, made this month's newsletter for my local EGA chapter, and I made a lot of progress on the Bjorn Portrait.

And I finished *my* embroidery! I love him, obviously. I need to finish with some glue so my stitches don’t come loose, but I think the frame looks pretty good ☺️🧶 #embroidery #stumpwork

I got cat-piled in my recliner yesterday, which was cuddly sweetness. Clyde (one of my cats) wanting to play fetch is always a goodie. I also spent a little time embroidering yesterday.

Physically I'm not great right now. My back is giving me trouble, and I am having a bad symptom flare. Grief is still making a mess of me, and probably will be for a while to come.

I made a lot of progress on the embroidered dog portrait over the weekend, and made it through both a visit to the DMV, and the nearest Social Security office last week.

The grief and financial stress are interfering with my sleep and giving me lots of anxiety that I'm having trouble managing. Otherwise, I think I'm doing ok.

I managed to write a poem and a short article about grief, and I did some embroidery.

I spent some time with friends, spent time loving on the cats, am replaying Secret of Mana, and worked on embroidery projects. I'm still finding joy through the grief.

I thought I would park when I tried a large piece. Nope. Haven't parked a single thread. Doesn't even make sense to park a thread and potentially get confused about which color that is, when i can just finish it before starting the next.

I made it through another week without my best friend and partner (fuck cancer), did quite a few adulting tasks around her death last week, and made a lot of progress on the Bjorn Portrait over the weekend.
