I was at the beach in Seaside, Oregon for a couple of days - weather was gorgeous and warm!
We did everything - beach walking, eating out and in, cooking, crafting, shopping (as usual) so today I was very tired and really just poked around the house not doing much.
Just finished grocery shopping for the week ahead and will soon go to bed with a good book. Holly is coming home tomorrow night! Sam & Aaron are coming for dinner too. It will be great to have more people in the house again - even if it's just for 24 hours. I have a feeling that this is going to be a very full weekend coming up. So, it's on to bed at 8:30!!!
I had some interesting thoughts today on my morning 2 mile walk around the loop.(This is an interesting font) I really want to walk this loop 5 days a week - like M-F. I feel great after I complete it but some days I cannot get out the door. It feels like a different, more reptilian part of my brain is in charge when I don't exercise/eat right....etc, you get the idea. I'd like to find a way to maximize my higher brain center and use it most of the time instead of the other. The part of me that exercises seems to be closer to the outer layers of an onion, which doesn't really make sense) but something about being on top? Maybe it's the green part that sticks out of the dirt. Anyway, last night I decided I would walk this morning and got up and it was like it was a done deal. Health and exercise first. I'll continue to explore this to see if I can find what gets in the way sometimes. It certainly isn't hard! The other thing that helped last night was knowing that this morning I could change some appointments, make a list of all the stuff to do that was rolling around in my head and relax a little more.
Making a list has always worked for me - would be nice to just do it sooner rather than later.
Something else was a revelation but can't remember it now...
This is a picture of Mrs Havellsham, the Queen herselfI be's tired out now. It's pretty early but I want to be horizontal and do some page skimming with my eyeballs - hopefully the brain will engage as well and all will make sense. I have no netflix to watch or I would do some of that first. Hooked on NCIS currently. I just love mysteries. Saw some really good press-on tattoos today at Michael's for my upcoming Goth look. You know, it doesn't seem as likely now that I have written it down here...who has ever seen a 60 year old Goth that looked good? How to look good - I think they really work at it carefully. I want to be a classy Goth - maybe this is going to be a one time Halloween night thingy. What night is Halloween? I've been sewing and painting and cleaning and sorting...I HAVE A NEW PIANO STUDIO!! (lost the master bedroom in the process, though.) But I love the new studio space. Send all your little piano playing wanna be's to me. Remember September 19th - Talk Like a Pirate Day. You can be sure that this blog will be in piratese. What other time can you do that? I saw a great recipe that used ground meat and you shaped it into a foot and baked it with ketchup at the ankle...gross but terrific! Come over for dinner.
