Currently April 2021
April was kind of eventful. I got vaccinated (yay!), we went to Santa Barbara, baseball games galore, my Dad told us he’s getting married, and I was able to see more friends! There was a lot to process and grief crept back up again. Whew!
Here’s my April spread in my Currently Workbook!
I played around with brush pens, white paint pen, and black gesso on my spread.
I printed out this photo to add to my book:
And colored it in!

Got it stuck in my head:

The only dream I really remember is trying to go to a Subway sandwich location that didn’t exist. I believe I’ve been dreaming about rental properties and looking at real estate. That’s what I get for looking at Zillow before bed.
