I feel awful that I don’t blog as much as I would like. I always say “I’m back!” and then I’m gone for months! A lot of it is due to my illness. I spend a lot of time in bed, or asleep. Sadly, that’s how I have learned to cope with my pain. I have been focusing on getting out of that cycle as much as possible. In fact, the past two weeks, I have made it a point to at least go downstairs for a few hours. Most of the days, I’ve even left the house. I am trying to get some crafts going, and a few projects done. My youngest is back in cheerleading, and that means I’m back to taking photos again. This is HUGE for me. I feel like I have a purpose again, and this helps get me moving. I’m so excited about it!

My husband surprised me with a laptop for Christmas. I hadn’t even attempted to set it up until a few weeks ago. I just wanted one that I could write with, and edit photos on. He got me a nice one, but it has the tablet function, and it really confused me. I used to be pretty good on a computer. With smart phones and iPads, I haven’t really had to login to my old laptop in over two years! I like my new laptop, but it doesn’t have the same photo editing software my old computer had. I am getting used to it though. I really want to take a photoshop class, but I don’t know if my brain fog will allow it? I just don’t function like I used to. It can be very frustrating. That’s why I think it took me so long to set this laptop up. I just would get frustrated so quick. Anyway, now that I have it, I hope that I’m able to blog more regularly. No promises.

Including a few photos I have taken so far this season. I love going to the high school football games. I love that the cheerleaders and their families love the photos I take.
