I have returned&#8211;and don&#8217;t you just love the new format? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>So, today&#8217;s Easter, apparently. I know this because at our lovely airport church today, my dad gave a sermon about Easter and all the goes along with it&#8230; Starting over again, and all that jazz, or something like that. He used my brother and a broken camping chair to further illustrate, as I recall. And yes, Dad, I would <em>not<\/em> trust that chair.<\/p>\n<p>I also know because I was just at an Easter lunch, which tasted delicious but was ruined, for me, by the conversation. How was it ruined? Something to do with grown-ups discussing the death of kittens. WHY!?! WHY MUST YOU EVEN <em>TALK<\/em> ABOUT SUCH THINGS!?! Sure, there are a lot of cats, but I, personally, think we should <em>value<\/em> life, <em>all<\/em> life, especially at this time of year. It was especially\u00a0upsetting because I <em>know<\/em> those kittens, and knew their mothers when <em>they<\/em> were kittens, and besides, THEY&#8217;RE KITTENS!!!<\/p>\n<p>So. No more yummy Easter food for me. I&#8217;m going to stay in here and write, thank you very much.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of writing, I&#8217;ve most recently written a &#8220;short&#8221; story that&#8217;s a parody of The Martian, a book we read as a family not so long ago&#8230; And of course, we watched the movie afterwards, as well! I like to call it The Jovians, and it features a cast of&#8211;you ready for this?&#8211;my and my brother&#8217;s <em>stuffed animals<\/em>! Weird, right? Anyway, I might put it on here someday, if I can just get Dad to read it and maybe make a few suggestions for editing? If he won&#8217;t do it, then I guess I <em>do<\/em> know <em>some people<\/em> who might want to edit it. Might. Otherwise, I&#8217;ll just put it up and there we go!<\/p>\n<p>I might add that the stuffed animal cast might someday be featured in a book I right&#8211;not as stuffed animals, of course, that&#8217;s been <em>done<\/em> before. I actually did start writing that book, called GraceTon tales, but I&#8217;ve decided to take it in a totally different direction&#8230; And at a later date, as well, since right now I&#8217;m trying to self-edit some of my books. All I&#8217;ve done so far is write what I <em>want<\/em> to do, and not actually <em>do<\/em> it, in Evernote, which is awesome.<\/p>\n<p>Hmm. Besides that, my birthday is in&#8230; A week and a few days, I believe! And then right after that it&#8217;s the long drive down to Nairobi, where we will be living. For the rest. OF OUR LIVES!!!!!! Well, maybe not that long, but we&#8217;re moving there, anyway. Yay! *sob*<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s enough ranting and drama for me! Write to you later,<\/p>\n<p>~Grace~Z~Artist<\/p>\n<p>p.s.
