walking pneumonia.

not crawling, sleeping, dancing, bouncing pneumonia...no no, this is of the walking kind.

sweet.

so that's why my lungs have been rattling for the past few weeks. i have officially figured out how far i can push my body before it gives up on me. ta da! done!

meh.

i have been completely spoiled this weekend.
the celebration complete - i bask in the afterglow.

have i mentioned how amazing my friends are? damnit, i'll say it again.
my friends are amazing.

eating fruit leather, watching the rain & brain drip drip drip... just finished a massive project for work and my brain may quite possibly be leaking..

my wanderlust is in overdrive, as it always is once the weather turns all blusterylike. in addition, my birthday looms in the relatively near future, and this year i kiss my 20's farewell, adieu, goodbye. this also amps up...

we were at the edge of the world.
the sky was grey.
only a sandbar left.
playing & splashing & screaming in the waves, but not going to far out, not wanting to be completely swept away.
we knew the world was at it's end, at least the world as we know it.
but there was no sadness, no regret.
just laughing & splashing...the boat...

what a fantastic past few days!

grand opening of my beloved umeboshi was phenomenal! amazing turnout, and so much fun, still basking in the afterglow.

hallow's eve is rapidly approaching, and i'm ashamed to say i have put no real thought into costume or what to do. boo. however, we're going on the haunted trolley tour to quench my thirst for ghost stories & local...

it's been a while since i've found myself here. here being in front of a computer that doesn't involve anything work related. here being a moment of free time that is totally & completely mine. it's only a moment, but these days - i'll take what i can get.

it's raining & pouring & i'm kind of loving it.

it's been a pretty amazing...

what a spectacularly amazing day.

Umeboshi is officially opened, after much blood, sweat & tears. (21st & Main people - come show some love) and it is nothing short of gorgeous!

3 hours of sleep, and i think i'm starting to hallucinate,,,

yep, overwhelmed. that pretty much sums it up.

need.
bed.
now.

how is it thursday already? and autumn??

not complaining, but time has been moving ridiculously fast these past few days.

ran away to seattle last weekend, change of scenery although the ultimate goal was to purchase a gown. yes, a gown as i have a ball to attend in a few weeks. a masquerade ball in fact. talk about living out a childhood fantasy! ever...

what strange days in a mad world where there doesn't seem to be enough time...

i'm dreaming of fiji a lot these days.

and of that year of living simply is sounding better and better.

my plan is to eventually run away for 1 year minimum - somewhere warm & lovely (yay fiji). live with the locals, eat fantastic food, drink tea, sleep lots, surf...

i'm covered in paint, spiderwebs & silver flakes....

i've been umeboshi-ing it up as of late.

and no, that doesn't mean i've been eating japanese plums in large quantities.

umeboshi = sanding, priming, painting, staining floors, installing shelving, and for added fun tonight was a silver leafing extravaganza! joy of joys.

need help with renos? i'm so not your girl.

umeboshi is the love child...

had wickedly vivid dreams all night long.

In my favourite of the wee hours of the morn - i was a solo sychronized swimmer. I don't think such a thing exists but that really doesn't matter.... I had my show at my own amazing water theatre and it was always a full house.

when i woke up i was hanging off my bed - must...
