Well, 2024 was…a year

Posted on December 29, 2024 by A Dreamer

And apparently traumatizing enough that I don’t remember SHIT about it. Glad I took pictures and wrote things down.

I think the closest thing I did to personal growth was taking the fused glass class, which was awesome.

We lost my beloved Lily, but gained Sean and Jorge. I think she would find it fitting that it took two cats to fill the void she left.

Got a new dryer, yay!  Got Covid, booooo.

Went to the beach and Baltimore.  Ate so much good food in both places.

Lots of arts and crafts fairs! Many nice Saturday mornings at the farmers market.

Finally saw an aurora!!!

We shall not speak of November.

Work was work.

Had a lovely Christmas.

So, not all bad by any means.

A white Whirlpool clothes dryer with a front drop down door and three knobs on top
Headshot of Lily, a black and orange tortoiseshell cat, looking over her shoulder at me, and being very regal.
Lily, a black and orange tortoiseshell cat, curled up on a red and white pet bed, looking up in mild annoyance
Lily, a black and orange tortoiseshell cat, rolling around on the carpet
A vase of about a half dozen lovely sunflowers.
An extremely vibrant painting of two pink tigers, one laying down in the foreground with its back to the viewer, looking to its left, and the other standing behind it, looking forward at the viewer, with a green and blue background.
A collage of a grey-green frog with a black and blue background. The collage pieces are very small, giving a mosaic effect
Lily, a black and orange tortoiseshell cat, curled up napping on a tie dye towel on a chair.

What I think is a Great Blue Heron, crouched down and walking through a creek with trees reflected in the water behind it, and a grassy bank in front of it
A white Heron (or possibly Ibis or Egret) just starting to take off from the sound. Its legs are outstretched and just above the water and it's wings are fully extended. There is water grass in the foreground and to the side.
Profile shot of Jorge, a solid grey cat, showing off his checkerboard collar with a purple heart shaped tag with his name on it.
Sean, a grey and white fluffy cat, laying on a towel on top of his crate
A bunch of yellow gerbera daisies
The back side of the scoreboard at Orioles Park, it has a large B with a multicolored mosaic background, and a clock at the top that says Orioles
A glass of white wine in the foreground and a glass of bourbon in the background
Jorge, a solid grey cat, kittyloafing on a brightly colored sunflower comforter
Sean, a grey and white fluffy cat, sitting on the edge of my laptop stand.
Aurora Borealis - the night sky is filled with pink streaks.
An un-fired 6 pointed snowflake. The points are strips of sky blue glass. Then there are royal blue strips connecting the points at about the halfway points of the main glass strips. There is also a bit of white frit (tiny bits of glass) in the center. It is more turtle than snowflake shaped.
An un-fired glass snowflake. It is green with 8 points. 4 long points horizontal and vertical, and narrower points diagonally. At the end of the long points are two lighter green narrow pieces of glass forming an arrow towards the center. At the end of all 8 points is a white glass button, and there is a dark red button in the center.
Sean, a grey and white fluffy cat, resting his head on a corrugated cardboard "mouse" that is the size and shape of a small football.
A sheet covered in Christmas ornaments, with Sean, a grey and white fluffy cat, laying beside it, looking up at the camera
A crocheted dinosaur with a Santa hat
Sean, a grey and white fluffy cat, kittyloafing on crinkly brown packing paper. Next to him is Jorge, a solid grey cat, facing the opposite direction, Aldo kittyloafing on the paper.
Headshot of Jorge, a solid grey cat, with a Santa hat photoshopped on his head. It’s exceptionally well done and looks like I got a hat on him.
