I need more time to get things done. It's hard to make time to do anything when you live 45 minutes away from both of your jobs and start an 11 hour shift at 9am. No time for the bank, no time to call all of those 9-5 places I need to call. There's just no time.
I have to cram it all into one...

I've come to understand change in a new way. In a gentle way, I suppose. I've done a lot of learning, and a lot of healing. I have adapted to my surroundings, again. I have learned to speak up, and set boundaries. I have learned to remember that I have feelings too. I have learned how to say 'no'.
Things are easier this time around....

I LOVE thrift shopping. Usually I don't buy much. A pair of earrings here and there, clothes when I need them, and the occasional purse, or piece of furniture. My ultimate weakness is serving dishes. By some stroke of amazing luck, I always find some form of serving dish that is %50 off that day. I love to entertain, and I'm in the process of...

There is a plague running rampant through my household. It started with my daughter, spread to Andy, and finally I have it. Our roommate and Camille's babysitter are complaining of a sore throat now as well. Anyhow... I was dismissed from work early today, because my chef noticed how miserable I appeared to be. I took advantage of Cami being with the babysitter until the...

Andy and I took yesterday off so we could go to a BTBAM show, but we ended up too broke to afford the tickets. We stayed home and did some major spring cleaning instead. I found something that I thought had been stolen (ex roommate stuffed a bunch of me and andy's belongings it in a Hannaford bag and threw it in the back room...

There are so many things I have missed about this nice weather. I walked from my car to my apartment yesterday with bare feet for the first time in months. It's so nice to feel the earth under my feet again. I've also been able to sit out in the sun on the porch and watch the chickadees come to the bird feeder.
There are...

I didn't accomplish much with my day off. I did a mountain of laundry, and played piano all day long. I haven't really taken a day to just chill, in a long time, so it was really nice. I started working on a pretty sweet new melody. It's been a while since I've come up with something fresh. I haven't been leaving myself enough time...

So I turned my desk into a super-fun-time zone. I also forgot that I have to work early tomorrow.... Oops
Siren
Ah! So sweet the voice that now surrounds me,
a siren sent to me, and now she's found me,
in her sweet embrace, I now surrender,
to a greater life, and ah! the splendor.
Into a bath of roses siren takes me,
so deeply in this slumber, none could wake me,
still I feel the petals as they kiss my aching skin,
stirring up...

A few months ago, by boyfriend was gifted a pair of leggings covered in cats flying through space. They've become somewhat of a joke in our social circle. I found this shirt at a consignment shop, and challenged him to a duel. May the man/woman with the best 'cattire' win. So far, I think I'm winning, as I can actually leave the house in mine without getting funny looks.
I was going to spill all of the details, but I feel like this poem kind of sums up how I'm feeling at the moment.
Now or Never?
When did I become so timid,
that I could not face the ocean with bare skin,
and a brave heart?
When did I become so lazy that I could not bear to move,
even just to take...
