stuff and things
most of the madness of the holidays has past and not that it wasn't reveled in and appreciated but i am also definitely appreciating having some spare days of real vacation. over xmas i stressed and abused my stomach's intolerances and it has been sure to let me know this. so now i'm working on playing nice with it and so far the results are encouraging. even though i wanted to take a hiatus from eating out, last night at the baraka cafe was fine.
i have kick ass new boots that just need to be rubbered on the bottoms because the heels are angled and slick enough that i have stepped wrong a few times on waxed floors and wiped out. black and blue knees are so unsexy. and they make it so much less comfortable to go wandering around with seishino.
we ran off for an afternoon to wrentham for the one knob i was missing for revamping my bird's eye maple dresser. then the next day we wandered around portsmouth, nh. the weather was nicely not cold. it also continued the tradition of it raining when we are on our way and first get to portsmouth and then clearing up so we can walk around without the encumbrance of umbrellas. i really enjoy traveling with this boy. we've also talked about making a travel fund to enable more and longer trips.
i've been feeling more myself lately. or maybe more like i have been. maybe it is the energy and anticipation of going back to school. i feel like my life is moving forward when sometimes i feel like i can get lost in stagnation of winter. now i have new in the middle of the not so cold weather. it's fun to let myself get giddy and do what i can to sustain the buzz. i love having extra energy to pull myself out of stale patterns.
oh yes, and being surrounded by kitties while still in bed at 11:30 on a monday morning doesn't hurt. ;>
