Lazily lounging

As I stretch and lay diagonally in my bed, I cozily nuzzle in. At one point, I thought it must be so late, when in reality, again, as I have thought lately, it is not. Crazy how due to it being dark so early, it makes the day seem to stretch less when really not much time has lapsed. I skipped another day of posting by accident. Last night I pulled up the page but then instead of scrawling anything, I just ended up watching the back of my eyelids. No big deal but still I've been trying my best. Someone's that's all we can do.

New technology amuses me

It'll be so nice to be up to date with everything with my new phone I got today. I'm in awe by the nuances of it all. Sometimes it really doesn't take much to amaze me. It's the little things in life. Now I'm sitting in the living room listening to the band rehearsal. It's nifty hearing new ride and chords.

Relaxation at its finest

I spent a majority of the day in bed. I really need to rotate it at some point so that there's not a high side of where I don't lay. The poor mister kept rolling over due to it. I got some creativity flowing today with a project near and dear to me. One that will launch into bigger and brighter things in this coming year. My mister is supportive and it is absolutely giving me the push to get to it.  I've got motivation, drive, and grand ideas in the works. But for now, I'll just keep laying in bed while the fireworks of excitement burst in my mind.

Wet white falling from the sky

It has been snowing the entirety of the day. The first snowfall we've had this winter. Which isn't bad considering it's New England and December. I'm just hoping it's not half as bad as it was a couple of winter's ago when we got dumped with 7' throughout it. I think I could live without that ever happening again in my lifetime. It definitely is memorable, that's for sure. But right now, although it's been snowing for so long there's only a few inches that have accumulated, not much more than the mister got as well.  And luckily I've got nowhere else to be beside my warm cozy bed for the rest of the night & into tomorrow that I intend on staying in.

Band rehearsals rule on a Thursday night

Someone asked me if I were crazy letting the boys practice in my basement. I of course already know I'm crazy, aren't we all just a bit in our own minds, so that's besides the point. But really, I love hearing all of the moments of their songs coming up the stairs. We definitely should invest in some sort of sound proofing but if it doesn't happen then that's no big deal. Today was one of those days I was feeling deflated after work. How I often have been. I'm grateful for technology to get me to be able to get my spirits up and then them coming to rehearse was just a bonus of pick-me-up.

Surprises are simply the best

My mister lives 474 miles away from me. But that didn't stop him from driving all the way here just to visit with me for the night and some of the morning. He convinced me that he was busy with work and meetings while in reality he was on the road for a majority of the day to get here. It was seriously THE best surprise I've ever gotten. I slept so well and felt so content having him be here. We spent the morning together, went to breakfast & then he headed back on the road. Although it was an extremely short period of time, I don't take those for granted. And I can't stop smiling.

Skipped a day, and that's ok

I was trying to keep up with an unrealistic expectations that I would write every single day for this month. Sometime's life happens though and now I'm forgiving of myself for things to hiccup without too much harshness. I just take when things don't go the way I thought they would with a grain of salt and move forward. It's so much better than beating myself up for things I can't control. And really, a day or two, here and there's nothing wrong with taking a good break from everything.

Baking from a non baker

So my daughter thought it would be fun to throw together a Christmas cookie decorating party tomorrow. So I made cookies, from scratch. Which if you know me, a pretty big deal because although my Grampa was a baker, the gene definitely skipped me. But I can follow a recipe and I went in headstrong & came out with edible cookies. Which is a win win. Plus I had a lot of fun. Good, good times.

Time change makes me sleepy

Having to be up at stupid o'clock ass crack of dawn is never my idea of fun. I have never been a morning person, and after 40 years I've got a good feeling I'm never going to be. With it getting dark so early these days, it feels like it's the middle of the night when reality it's really pretty early. And if I went to bed when my body first were telling me to, I'd be in a vicious cycle of being even more tired than I already am which I don't see being possible.

One of those days

I am trying to keep up with keeping up with this. My mind is a jumbled mix of everything at the moment. Attempting to slow it down as I need to get up way too early for work in the morning...
