Bergamot
Generally, coffee is how I start my day. I no longer seem to drink huge amounts... (I am pretty sure the last time I ordered a Quad latte was a few years ago) but I still love the ritual of having it every day.
But today, I am drinking Earl Grey Tea. Despite having a very restful and productive day yesterday, and having slept well (I only woke ( Read more... ) -
Conflict... pshaw.
I have noticed my sleep is getting odder and odder. It's not only sometimes peppered with weird, odd or just confusing dreams. It's random... and what I mean is when and how and quality of the sleep I get. Sometimes I get really wonderful, calm peaceful sleep... but I don't have access to that all the time. I can use benadryl.. and when I am ( Read more... ) -
True love
I know its not 'right'. But this is one of the most wonderful things that someone has sent me in a long time.

And I am usually riding an odd wave of exhaustion and adrenaline. Sometimes I think the time to just drive and let my wonder is good, sometimes it allows my brain to much leeway... not enough ( Read more... ) -
Where would you be?
This weekend, while I sat upon a beautiful antique bed with drapes drawn, vintage wallpaper and the muted sounds of cars going by, I was asked: If you could be anywhere, right now, where would you be?
I didn't have a ready answer. Maybe because there were to many different places I would be....
So, my answer?
Yes, I would happily be in your ( Read more... ) -
Daddy's Girl
Thank you all for all the thoughts people have sent my way. My dad is doing okay. I was thinking last night, during a rare down moment at work, that for the first 38 years or so of my life, I have never seen my dad sick. Not a cold, stomachache. Nothing. He has always been a stubborn hairy red headed freckled rock.
Last year, either due to ( Read more... )
