(no subject)
my eyes snapped open at 3am for no particular reason this morning, and i had a strange and lovely moment.
every night, without fail, d and i fall asleep on the basement futon cuddling and watching tv. sometime later, i will wake up, turn the tv off, and stumble upstairs to brush my teeth and get into bed; more often than not, i am more than half-asleep and do not even coherently remember the trip- i could ballroom-dance all the way up two flights of stairs in my sleep and still not recall a moment of it.
early this morning, though, i was more alert than usual. the weather has *finally* gotten spring-y here, and so the windows were open, letting in a nice soft cross breeze on the main floor and perfuming it with the fragrance of the flowering trees and lilacs out front. moonlight spilled onto the two mod red chairs in front of the window, and i stopped and thought, this is my peaceful little home.
it's pretty and smells of flowers, and it belongs to me and my family.
pride.
contentment.
springtime.
every time i smell lilacs now, i will have a flash of this perfect little moonshine moment.
