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.

tuesday truths...

I am editing photos
from this summer…
including my solo random,
planned-yet-unplanned
trip to Hopewell Rocks
that ended up in Truro…
and my trip to Fredericton
with a BFF…
and I am kinda happy
that I waited until
the dead of February
to edit these
because
they are such a little
ray of sunshine for me
and are making me
look forward to future
summer adventures…
♥♥♥

tuesday truths...(the one where i use big words...)

there is
something
about online learning
or learning
new things
in general
that just makes me
so excited…
like…
weirdly so.

words like
stochastic components,
parameters,
velocity,
resistance,
randomness,
parity…..

quantitative,
synapses,
axon, neuron,
dendrites…
tessellation….

just give me
this strange little
adrenaline rush

like sugar
for my
brain.

tuesday truths on an up and down kinda day...

20 left for Toronto this morning
after a stressful, snowy, slushy 3 am drive
to the airport.

I am always proud of him
for his role in these youth conferences
and happy that he gets to
have these amazing experiences
and meet so many people
and I know it has helped
develop him in ways that
it would have been difficult to
provide here…

but…I miss him.
And I know it’s only a week
and that lots of people go farther away
and for much longer but…

I don’t care.

I still miss him.

Today was a day full of ups and downs…

I am excited about the online courses I am taking/
I am terrified about the online courses I am taking.

A hard decision I made kinda feels right/
the same hard decision makes me a little sad
and not always sure that it was right.

I am happy that spring is coming/
I just remembered my leaky front door.

Up and down.

But instead of ending this post with that…
how about this instead…the other day I ran
into a friend at the grocery store who said
”oh wait! I have something for you!”
and she dug into her bag and found me some smurfs
which ALWAYS makes me happy
but one of them…was smurfette…on a keychain…
and soooooo tiny!!!!
I could barely contain my excitement.
Heeheehee.

tuesday truths...in 2020

♥ the truth is I am still using winter photos from 2018
because I have not gotten out with my camera in
forever and that makes me a little sad.

♥ the truth is I spent a ridiculous amount of time
creating a color coded spreadsheet to help me
determine how I should spend every second of my time
because I sometimes feel a little overwhelmed and
worried that I can’t do everything that I want to do.

♥ the truth is…the color coded spreadsheet
made me feel so much better. I like having a plan.

♥ the truth is I wish I had a big bag of chips right now
but instead I know I have to get on the treadmill in 16 minutes
because that’s what color coded spreadsheet told me to do.

♥ the truth is…I still feel pretty optimistic that 2020 is going to be
a big year for me…I have plans…and blueprints…and goals…
and a fancy color coded spreadsheet.
