After the Storm

The fog is starting to lift and I’m feeling better.  Rob nailed it the other night at dinner, at the core of it all, I’ve been rather bored.  I hadn’t had any real new projects to work on and my brain just goes dark when I’m not engaged into something interesting.

This morning, we went to breakfast and then to the fire sale at Scenic Nursery.  The line to check out was ridiculously long and everything was practically gone.  I was saddened to see another long standing business close it’s doors.  We drove out to Riverbank to Morris Nursery and bought some new plants for my pots for the front porch.

So now the porch is looking ready for our holiday party on Dec 3rd and the laundry is running outside.  The rain stopped during the night and everything is clean and fresh outside.  It was warm enough outside to be in short sleeves.

Being Profound

Nov09

Kristi Written by Kristi

Some days, it feels like I’m firing on all cylinders.  Everything is going well.  I’m creating nice product,  being a loving, attentive wife,  creating a delicious dinner for us, remembering to brush my hair, scoring 65 points in Words with Friends.

And then some days?  Eh.  Not so much.  I’ve been struggling off and on for the last few weeks with a nagging ear infection that won’t seem to go away completely.  I’m ok for one or 2 days and then my ear is clogged again and painful.  It makes it hard to concentrate on doing anything well.  I’m not particularly a great friend today and nothing really interests me at the moment.  I’m having a hard time being inspired to create anything pretty or interesting or even useful, never mind inspired.

I know there is more to my malaise than just being physically off.  The time change, the weather turning shockingly cold all of the sudden, the stress of knowing my husband is slammed with work and I can’t do much to help ease his burden.  Trying to rediscover passions.. what I love.  I’ve lost a bit of the plot, I guess.

This isn’t about being ungrateful or whining.  I’m blessed with wonderful people in my life, friends, family, a supportive network of people who love and care for us.  And I’m thankful for them all, even the ones who sometimes piss me right off sometimes.  I just need to rediscover the spring in my step, the careless abandon that used to make me dance around the kitchen.   I’ll get there.  Just might take me a bit of time.
