So now I have some hyacinth forcing jars with fairy lights glowing in them, to make up for the lack of Christmas tree lights in the living room. It’s bringing me joy far beyond what I expected.
I am pro-little lights every and anywhere as joy-making.
Poor Pix! That's really scary and stressful. Hoping for best outcomes.
Today is a happy birthday to shrift day! I hope there is much slounging and treats this day. May you find an abundance of joy in the year to come.
It's amazing how much better you feel when you're not sick.
Dana, sometimes I think my body gives me my little complaints to keep me slogging through my ordinary stuff. But I do overthink stuff sometimes.
Happy Shrift Day!
Today is DRAAAAASGGGGING. I am chilly and tired and getting a little grumpy.
I just ate lunch thinking it would help but only increased the tired.
Whine!
I really need to go to bed early tonight.
Dana I always think that on days after I’ve had a mild migraine—where on the day in like “this isn’t sooooo bad maybe I need to just slog through it? Do I really want to take a pill? What if that means I use too many?” And then the next day I’m like “oh right! This is what not having a headache feels like! That WAS bad!” (There are def times when there’s no question and I’m absolutely like “fuck this, pills and bed now” but not always)
Happy shrift day! I will try to get some slounging in
Happy Birthday, shrift!
I am currently awaiting that feeling , Dana. I am happy you're there.
Continued good thoughts Pix and ND as you navigate care for Pix's dad.
I had a bunch more to comment on, but I need to leave it to a partial meara for the moment.
Happy Birthday, shrift!
~ma to your dad (and you), Pix.
I can attest to the unexpected amount of happiness brought by decorative lights. I just put up a string of flickering solar lanterns in my Japanese maple, and am pleasantly surprised by how cute it looks. The charge only lasted a couple hours after sunset, but I'd rather have brighter, nicer-looking lights for a short time than longer-lasting unimpressive ones.
