Lately:
Sometimes I feel like my months are reduced to lists of things that happened that I write in my journal, mixed with random thoughts.
Lately....
....I find myself frequently thinking of how much of the health benefits from riding my bike I actually retain when you add in all of the exhaust I inhale everyday.
....have been getting way too many flat tires...
....I am really, really angry that the car broke down two months before we pay it off...
....getting more and more skeptical about me getting this job I applied for, the more time passes...
....have been spending a crazy amount of time in the kitchen--last night I made two loaves of bread and then had a big hot slice with apple butter. It was kind of amazing. I think I might try again with different recipes this weekend.
....I have been riding the bus more often, for a variety of reasons, and its amazing how much more I write in my journal.
....have been feeling crazy nostalgic...
....I have to remind myself that it is nearly Christmas. Because it really doesn't feel like it. Even though it was really cold this morning.
....it has really sunk in just how bad I am with money. Some big conversation occurred with Metro that were super hard to have but they ended up being full of problem solving, which was awesome. I'm going to start logging everything I spend money on, no matter what it is.
....Making changes can be hard.
....I seem to judge my day on how many living/dead squirrels and crows I see on the way to work--a bunch of dead ones doesn't bode well....cute, hopping around live ones make me smile and think my day might go alright.
Things I'm thankful of lately:
Getting in touch with Zen again.
My new found love of dresses.
Listening to good music really loud on my headphones on the way to work--Please Do Not Fight and Flobots most often lately.
Hunter keeping my feet warm at night.
This really amazing (and fucking expensive!) Cinnamon Bark candle I got from BeeCrowBee in Joseph, OR
Finding my favorite handwarmers that I couldn't find since last winter.
Going to My Life in Black and White shows.
Matt Henson's hair in that newest video posted on the PDNF site.
My hair still being healthy no matter how many times I dye it orange.
Having a whole box of Egyptian Licorice Tea in the pantry at home.
Of everything, I'm most thankful for the fact that this is Thursday, which is my Friday, and it means I only have ....exactly four hours and thirty four minutes left of work until the weekend. Tomorrow is volunteering at an ale festival, which equals a lot of free beer right afterwards, then perhaps going to the midnight showing of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at The Baghdad. (the original one of course.) I think Saturday will involve a lot of bread making and watching movies and playing dice, because we are crazy, crazy broke.
I have a lot of love for some specific folks lately. Its nice.
