Yesterday I came home to homemade minestrone soup. Monika made a spectacular vegan soup with old green beans from Stater Brothers which came from my mother's house. It made me think about the fact there are quite a few items I have not had to buy since my mom passed-- mainly cleaning supplies and plastic bags. Apparently there are quite a few can goods we are still working thru, like green beans. I do miss my mom and think about her often but I do not think she's watching over me or anything like that. I know she'd be very pleased that I've been able to forgo buying plastic sandwich bags and dish soap for so long.
I started the new semester at school with painting 1 and animation, both classes I've taught many times. I purchased a new lumen device which I'm hoping will revolutionize my diet. I'm surprised how much time and energy in my life is just about taking care of myself. As I watch Balt age at a quicker pace, I see him struggle with stairs and incontinence, I realize he's just showing me what's to come in my own life. My vet told me I needed to look into putting him down and I'm struggling with that process. I know losing him will be a hard transition and I'm not ready for that, but I have to start wrapping my head around it.
