tuesday truths....

the truth is
i am so sleepy
i can barely think
in a straight line.

lots going on right now….
a lot of it is very, very, very good.
a little of it is slightly
stressy and sucky
but that’s kinda what life is
i think…
a mix of the very, very goods
seasoned with a little bit of stress and
sometimes suckiness.

but i like to focus on the good….
so here’s a little bit of the good in my life
lately….and i hope there is a little bit
(or a lot) of good in your life, too!

I made a plant hanger! :)

I have been trying to eat a little better…
and get some fruit in there
(not really any vegetables though…heh)

I got ALL THESE polka dot mugs and bowls
for a mere 25.00….such a happy steal! :)

and the longer, brighter days
allowed for some time at the
little blue desk ♥

And the truth is
I hope you have a happy
Tuesday and are not feeling
the daylight savings change to
heavily…I feel jetlagged…
if I knew how jetlagged felt, I guess. Heh.

and it's time for tuesday truth again...

Last week was a whirlwind of a week…
two different friends home from away
and lots of time spent
adventuring and exploring
and reminiscing and
laughing…
so much laughing.

There was ice cream (multiple times)
and fall drives,
horses, black bogs, and lighthouses…
cake for breakfast,
cedar’s eatery and
starlite diner…

There was even a little
mushroom-y village
that made us very happy to find…

And the weekend was topped off
with a visit to my parents for Thanksgiving
where almost everyone was able to make it
(missed Kiki & J)
and it was so great to see the kids
and reconnect in a big rowdy way…
I took zero pictures that day
because I just wanted to be
in the moment…♥

It was a fantastic week
but the truth is
I am not used to
being quite so social….
it takes more out of me
than I realized…
this week will be all
about rest and recovery
and maybe a stolen nap
or three…
♥♥♥

but I wouldn’t have
changed a thing about
last week….
I’d do it all over again if I could.

tuesday truths...you know...the posts where i overshare & get too wordy...heh...

The truth is that
after days and days
of not being able to come
to the page,
to any page,
virtual or paper…
I am suddenly
on fire with
wanting to
write and document,
note and number,
doodle and draw,
plan and pretend and
scheme…

I am hyped about
Inktober
and planning a
2nd annual pumpkin carving day…
I am driving dirt roads,
listening to music
I forgot that I loved,
making connections
with friends that I have missed
and redecorating my deck
with pumpkins and
purple flowers.

I feel alive and
almost humming with
excitement
like a power line
on the edge of spontaneous combustion….
and while that sounds
dangerous
it’s also
exhilarating.

I’ll ride it out while it lasts.
Winter hibernation
will set in soon enough….
♥

tuesday truths

when i reread what i
wrote yesterday
about how my
dad felt when we were
both in the same area,
close proximity
but each doing our own thing
and how that made him feel
happy and content…

i realize that i often feel like that now…

26 is living home with me
and we often spend a lot of time
together and apart…
i hear her at the top of the stairs
at my old art desk,
mixing paints, cutting paper,
giggling at tiktoks and youtubers…
while i am down here
clickclacking on a keyboard,
doodling letters made out of flowers
and little geek girls
with sad eyes and striped socks
listening to leonard cohen and bonnie raitt…

we meet in the middle often…
she cooks me meals,
we watch greys anatomy…

but i love this somewhat shared
alone but not alone time….
having grown up kids live with you
is not really a bad thing…
sometimes
it’s exactly what you needed
even when you didn’t know
you needed it.

tuesday truth

today’s truth
is that
i came to the page
to write
but
realized
i have nothing
to say.

tomorrow
is
another day.
