it's been awhile
and i've been hanging out at folks' house for the holidays. it's been very comfortable and relaxing...a break from the boredom i was beginning to feel in southwest florida. hanging out at my sister's apartment getting crazy the night before my birthday caused me to get sick (she's a teacher for little kiddies and has a bug). this means i haven't really been able to go out and see friends. this means lots of birdwatching and reading and knitting and general crafting at home which is great. i've gotten lots of inspiration and ideas for new projects to work on when we go back to florida in a couple days. tomorrow morning mark and i are going to check out serenbe farm, with the possibility of a work exchange in february. things were feeling kind of dull in florida, but i'm feeling invigorated now...hopefully this feeling will last after we land in florida again.
