Flooring

Today, I learned how to put in vinyl flooring. My brother and I are covering up the wood flooring. It’s sad to see it go, but we just can’t expect someone else to care for something the right way. Lesson learned. I am very happy about our choice of color though. It looks very nice. … Continue reading Flooring

Starting an idea

I started a new painting today. It’s so totally an experiment, but I’m open to what it will teach me. I got the idea while I was driving a couple of days ago, so I’ve been excited to get it started and see where it goes. I suspect it’ll be slow going to work on … Continue reading Starting an idea

What a day

Cleaning today and making my arms and feet sore. Painting, but not the painting I need to be doing. I’m going to take a few minutes and get some writing done. Someday, amid everything else that’s going on, I will finish Arlyn’s book. Cheers!

The room

I remember dancing as a little girl. I loved to twirl and flip (even though I always landed on my backside). I thought I was marvelous. Tonight, I’m in the room where I lived to dance. There’s no music. Only silence or the steady churn of fans if the air conditioning kicks on. When I … Continue reading The room

Good packed day

Today I have been busy since I woke. It has just been packed. It’s also been a good day. I learned a lot about myself today. I have to thank Jordan for bringing her hoe to help me clear out some mind weeds. (grin). We had a fantastic chat and afterwards I wrote two pages … Continue reading Good packed day

All sorts of holes to fall into

I got sucked down a copyright rabbit hole today. I know, most people would find that boring. While I don’t find it fantastic (like working on a new Excel spreadsheet or designing something cool in Power Query), I do understand the necessity for understanding it. So upon recommendation, I went out and read a recent … Continue reading All sorts of holes to fall into

Fuzzy line of lost awareness

If you asked me right now, I’d say that I’m not completely grounded in my body. I feel a little outside of myself. A while back, I wrote about the Humline and listening to it. Yeah, I feel like I’m doing that today, but not consciously. I had the realization today that I am at … Continue reading Fuzzy line of lost awareness

Entertaining myself

Anything can happen. One never knows what might come in a day. Even if your calendar is blocked in, there are always events that interceded. Life has a way of doing that. I’d planned to write and paint today. Instead, I remembered I had to take care of real life for a moment. Ugh! I … Continue reading Entertaining myself

Summer stride

Strange Monday, this one. All I can say is that I think fall is in the air and people are beginning to feel it. Personally, I need about three more months of summer. Well, summer without the heat. I feel like summer just started in earnest. But then again, I don’t know if I’ve ever … Continue reading Summer stride

Focused for recovery

Today’s been a very busy day. I’ve been super-focused today to make up for taking it easy yesterday. The downside is that I’m tired now but I haven’t gotten in my words or my steps for the day. It’s not as if I haven’t been writing, but it’s all been for assignments today. I probably … Continue reading Focused for recovery
