Day 126

Woke up with itchy red welts everywhere after a night of scratching post mosquito attack. Blah fighty morning as usual, only managed to get our act together by afternoon. Then cooking, yard work etc. Long tiring day.

HOW can all my days feel long and tiring, when im not even working?! How did I ever do this earlier? How will I ever do it again? Aching and sore, last ditch R100 driven out of pure stubbornness again. Not the enthusiastic spring to workout i was hoping to cultivate. And only the 1 meal. And lots of snacks. How is this possible? How can I not even prioritize eating, sleeping, drinking, exercising when im doing nothing else? This is so bad. 

Officially June. Who knows what the end of 28 short days will bring. Terrified and dreadified.

None as special as spooning in a queen bed at a log cabin enveloped by the gentle hum and soothing breeze of oscillating fans, moths fluttering in the semi darkness, a little puppy heart beating in rhythm against a squished arm, breathing in the dusty scent of his warm double coat and listeni...

Day 21

Started thinking this on the walk. Thought I would write it then. And make these be a collection of scribbles through the day that I publish at the end of the day. But ofcourse I didnt, so here is the recap. Every single day when Crae goes for his walk, he is so intentional. So decisive. Knows exactly which way he wants to turn or which neighborhood or street or bush or field he wants to explore that day. Ofcourse he is also constantly stopping to smell the proverbial roses and open to changing his course depending on the path that smells more interesting, so there is something to be noticed about the way his explorations are equal parts intentional and spontaneous. Dang, so many things to emulate with this child! In other news - good spirits, good energy, frankly some good deep sleep. My brain on almost 2 back to back days of decent sleep. OCDd the judgy santa markers. Cleaned the kitchen. Decided to treat myself to an afternoon movie - today's feature, Wodehouse In Exile, a remin...
