May 2021 Recap

The plum tree bloomed this month, I hurried to take some photos before it left.

//I can't believe how fast this month went! During the warmer summer months my schedule gets really crowded ☹ So that's why I'm posting this sooo late. I hope I can still find time to post!\\

||My Life||

Alone: My younger sister, Sarah, got confirmed this month, and after that celebration our grandparents took her, Eva and Carrie back to Minnesoda with them for a week. I didn't go because of my vendor show on the 15th, but it was okay, I relished the solitude to be completely honest.

The Marketplace Event: The Vendor show in Lisbon was actually not bad for our first gig, It was kind of boring at times, but It's always fun to hang out with Clarissa and Jerod, and we actually sold some stuff (Not a lot, but we actually sold stuff)

Back to the Ranch: For those of you who don't know, I've worked at a local-ish Pizza Ranch for a couple of years, With Clarissa and Noah. My boss used to be Kyle, an interesting guy. But both of my siblings quit when Kyle moved to a PR in Aberdeen, South Dakota and his sister, Jess, took over. I then didn't have a ride to get to my job, so I had to call it quits for awhile until I did. Almost a year or something later I've come back, as well as Clarissa, and Sarah, who just turned 14 in April. But now (I'm sorry this is such a long speech) Jess is also moving, and who's taking over is Jerod's brother, and His girlfriend Tyann is now the owner! So now I have a new-new boss, and I hope it works out.

(Kind of this month but whatever)

Driver's Education: Sarah and I have driver's ed all week, We've been through two days and I already want to die. From 8am-2pm, with small breaks, but still mostly sitting in a chair all day. What I wanna know is how the heck do people - no, kids manage to do that every day for most of the year!? It's small and cramped and filled with loud strangers, I find it hard to focus let alone learn when everything is a terrible situation for both of those. I'm bored, stressed, head-ached and I constantly feel like I need to stretch, but, wait, I can't do that because It would be rude to the kid sitting behind me. So, yeah, pray for my fortitude with that issue.

||Read||

Ahhh man, my reading for this month was kind of all over the place. I started out with Frankenstien but I lost the book and I don't understand where. I read Stargirl but kind of unintentionally.

I also started like, four other books but didn't finish any. It's probably excusable because my schedule was so hectic. I'm still sad about Frankenstien though.

||Watched||

Again, not much for this catagory on account of me being busy. I watched Good Burger just because It's a comfort movie and I love it. I finished Trollhunters and it broke me. I never changed my "now watching/reading" gadgets but it's probably fine. Throw in a few episodes of 3-Below here and there and that's pretty much all I watched this month.

||Creations||

My new sketchbook has been turning out pretty good, but my camera's been acting up lately so I can't show you the awesome goache painting I made.

I made a lot of jewelry, so I won't post all the pictures, but here's some:

Meraki now has a facebook page if your interested, I think Jerod did a great job! Meraki's Facebook Page

||This Month|| 

I'm going to another (yay!) vendor show on the 17th in Lisbon for "Lisbon Happy Days"

I'm thinking about posting some poetry and also the sketchbook tour I've been thinking about posting.

Otherwise just trying to survive, finish Driver's Ed and going to work, prepare for the vendor show.
