On Friday we took Felix to the Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) so that he’d have an experience walking around the airport, smelling the smells, seeing people with luggage, and so on. Brad also took this opportunity to experiment with a number of photographic techniques including making an airplane out […]
On Wednesday, Brad and I did another photo shoot! The first backdrop we used was an astrologer’s castle. I wore a galaxy dress, a black shawl, and a purple witch hat. Brad was dressed like a German villager. So I was the astrologer-witch, and he was the townspeople. We have […]
This week, we set up a new backdrop that simulates “bokeh balls”, which is when points of light in a photo are out of focus and are glowing balls (“bokeh” is a term for nature of the out of focus part of a picture). It is a bokeh backdrop of […]
Today I took Felix in to the vet to talk about neutering him. I like to wait until my dogs are two years old before fixing them, but Felix is an unusual case. He has an undescended testicle and a hernia. About once a week, he acts all uncomfortable for […]
We had to go to Sam’s Club today to get a new battery. When we went out to the car to leave, of course our car wouldn’t start (see my previous post). We asked our neighbor to give us a jump, and at first he tried his car jumping machine, […]
Yesterday was quite the unanticipated adventure! We had planned to go to the Lindsay Pettus Greenway to scout out locations for photos for the NAMI walk coming up in October there. The forecast said it’d be dry until 7PM, so we got all ready and left the house around 3:30. […]
Today Brad saw his ME specialist. We see him in person once a year, and talk with him by phone in between. Today was the in-person appointment. It was a really early appointment for Brad, at 11AM. So Brad got up almost as early as I normally do! He was […]
Today I wore my Mirabel dress (from Disney’s “Encanto”), and I think it made me into a hero! The day started off easy enough. I took Felix to the NAMI Hut to hang out with other facilitators. My friend Marija was there, and we chatted with Julia and her baby […]
When it rains it pours! In the past month, the following things have been broken or needed urgent attention: mixer, van muffler, kitchen sink, my computer, and now you can add Hestia to that list! On Tuesday, a few times Hestia would be lying down and suddenly yelp. We examined […]
On Saturday, we rode the LYNX (light rail) with Sabrina, Indy, and Russ. I’m trying to take Felix on lots of public transportation to prepare him for eventually flying one day. We did the bus last week, and light rail this week. We met up in the parking garage and […]
