tuesday truths....

March 14, 2023 Arlene Giddings

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.

daylight savings apparently makes me wordy....

March 10, 2019 Arlene Giddings

i don’t know why
but daylight savings weekend
always makes me incredibly happy.

the days are getting longer.
spring is coming.

i am like a plant…i need light
to survive,
to grow,
to thrive.

without it
i just want to sleep
bundled up in blankets…
i want to cocoon and nest,
hibernate and burrow.

but when the days start getting longer
i feel like i am ready to shed
those layers
and suddenly i start to find energy
that has been missing
throughout the cold dark winter months.

it’s a damn good feeling.

i took the dog for a walk in the park today
and let him off his leash
and watched him run with abandon
(well, with as much abandon as his short little
pug legs will let him go in deep snow)
and the warmth on my face
made me feel like stretching
into the sunshine
awake again finally.

i'm not sure what it is about fall...

October 26, 2017 Arlene Giddings

but i am incredibly
less productive
in the fall.

i'm good right up until it starts to get
just a little bit dark..
like...6 pm...
and then i just want
pajama pants, some hot chocolate,
my phone and the couch.

i am all about movies and
tv shows and good books
and finding new apps
and naps...so many naps.

as soon as the sun starts to set,
it seems to take any energy reserves
i had left
with it...

hopefully
this is just a phase
and maybe i'll grow out of it.
:)

and really, i'm writing this
in hopes that people are going to say
THAT'S totally normal,
i'm like that, too!
heh.
i'm all about validation

tonight is... {nablopomo}

November 5, 2015 Arlene Giddings

popcorn for supper
diet coke on the side
tammy wynette and patsy cline quiet in the background
otherwise
a silent house
while the kittens sleep
and the pug lays under my feet
snorting and sighing.

strains of guitar
and a blue haired girl singing

daylight savings time
is catching up with me
is slowing me down
making me want to build
blanket forts and read
books by flashlight
