❤️ friday i'm in love ❤️

it's been a quiet kinda friday
here in the big orange house.

a headache-y kinda week
likely due to the ridiculous amount
of gloomy days and rain
leading to naps & a sick day
a migraine and general procrastination
which ultimately resulted
in a sickening amount of water
accumulating the basement
which then led to a tension headache
while furiously pumping out
disgusting basement water
in semi darkness
because i was afraid to change
the lightbulb while standing
in a foot of water
…..
i know i say my boots make me
invincible
but even polka dots
have their limits.

but onwards and upwards to the list! 📋

FRIDAY I'M IN LOVE::

🎈this sweet little a-frame….
♥️ i still love this song…and the dance to go with it…sigh
🎈all this rain is making me think about gardens
♥️ a visit to the naturopath and hopes for better sleep and more energy and hopefully eventually LESS headaches
🎈finally some success at blogging from my new tablet…in bed! :)
♥️ an extra long very much needed long weekend
🎈a visit from an old friend who brought me some all natural samples to try…I can't say much about them yet (but i can't control myself to not say this…THEY SMELL SO GOOD, I WANT TO EAT THEM)

and two mourning doves that found
their way onto my deck and
hung out for a bit leaving me with a big smile.

happy friday to you and
i hope you have a long weekend too…
and no water in your basement!!
☔️

friday i'm in love

hello beautiful spring-like friday…
you are my favorite day.

you bring me promises
and naps,
endless possibilities
and all the ice cream.
:)

FRIDAY I’M IN LOVE

♥ this hit home.

♥ these tiny flying rainbows made me smile.

♥ i am super excited about this and have been adding the bands
that i am not familiar with to my playlist!

♥ did you know that a group of jellyfish is called a smack?
Now you know.

where i am at...

I am still here.
I know I have been quiet,
but I am still here.

What have I been doing?

Going for rainy early morning walks
in my pjs and dino boots.

Watching Andrew Huberman on YouTube
and trying to emulate some of the routines he has
like early morning sun-in-your-retinas
and cold showers,
yoga nidra and meditation.
Working hard to take the right supplements,
eat better and fix my broken sleep.

Working along with a
fantastic group online to do
The Artist’s Way.
I have done this before
on my own
with inspiring results
so I am really looking forward
to diving in hard on this
and seeing where it takes me
if I let it.

I am trying to hard
to keep my mind and
heart open,
to see the synchroncities
where they happen,
catch the glimmers when they sparkle
& shine
and to focus on joy instead of
loss and stress…
some days it works,
some days it doesn’t.
it’s a process.
:)

wordless wednesday - winter

whatcha readin'? {goal 41::book 4}

Wow. Look at me go.
I just finished this book
yesterday
and already I have got
it in the blog.

It’s that leftover
January to February
New Year/New Me fervor….
heh. It’ll pass soon enough.

Anyway…I digress. :)
(which is really what this blog
should be called)

But yes…this book.
If you would have told me
a year ago how much I would
come to LOVE Emily Henry
I would have been doubtful…
uncertain…dubious even.

And wrong. I would have been wrong.

This is my 3rd book by her
and I am enamored.
I just fall in love
with her characters.
And the story line is
interesting.
And the writing is pretty and
sweet which I like.

So yes. I am an Emily Henry fan.
And I say that now
with certainty.

NEXT UP:: PRIDE & PREJUDICE - JANE AUSTEN
To be fair, I think I likely read this before
but I am trying to incorporate some classics
in this year AND also it’s February
and if you know me, you know I like themes
so I would like February
to be as pink and gushy and ooey-gooey
dripping with love stories
cause….that’s just how I am.

Don’t judge. Heh.
