On a Happy Note
 
  • I went to see the musical Company in Boston.
  • I joined my parents and a few of my cousins at the Spring Fling event at my Grandmother's Assisted Living.
  • Riley came for a sleepover to finish Kris's chicken. On Saturday, we spent some time at my parents, and then Dad drove us to my nephew Garret's hockey final. His team won and he scored the first and last goal of the game.
  • After spending Sunday morning with a headache, I rallied to join my parents for Riley's dance competition.
  • I've had 2 weeks of drawing classes through my town's Rec program. We did some basic exercises the first week and then moved into more structural architectural drawing using 2 point perspective.
  • My mom's friends ran an auction event and raised over $1200 for the FearLESS Living Fund!
  • Mom completed another round of chemo.
  • I did a bit of studio tidying.
  • Gilmore Girls weekend with Riley & Aila.
