we’re good over here but i have certainly had my share of unmotivated and uninspired days
which is ok i think
and once i come to peace with it, i allow myself to be what i am feeling and wanting/needing
there is always the next day right?
i’m just trying to breathe and take it one day at a time
i think that’s what we are all trying to do right?
wishing you a peace filled weekend
i spent some days in the basement going through and organizing my storage boxes. found the nineties
i also found this frida kahlo paper doll book i bought for Lily when i think she was still in my belly. had looked for it years ago and couldn’t find it. we both decided it should stay as is and in our frida collection
and speaking of collections, been going through all my nature treasures trying to somehow feel closer to the ocean
there have been lots of delicious meals
tuna nicoise
grilled octopus
a loaded hotdog with chips and radishes. i never liked radishes before
three ingredient banana, peanut butter, cocoa powder muffins
banana bread
strawberry clafoutis
plenty of time being spent in the kitchen these days
mother’s day
on nice days we take lots of walks around the neighborhood
cinco de mayo
it’s been really loud here all day every day with the hotel construction still happening below our backyard. they start jackhammering at 7:30 every morning and don’t stop until the end of the afternoon. despite all the noise that makes me want to crawl out of my skin (and leave this house), i try to create and focus on the quiet corners
flowers still getting me through the day. especially pink ones
our first peony this year
late night shenanigans with Lily when she asks me to brush my hair out
still trying to keep busy through my hands. ordered some self drying terracotta and made my own beads
a distancing visit to her bestie and her chickens to drop off some books
and a visit to her teacher to drop off some flowers for teacher appreciation day
i guess for the sake of having a spring break post like in the previous years, i should do one although, it was very much the opposite of all the previous years due to covid19
it was the same for everyone else
i am aware
a stay at home spring break
not worth much talking about but worth documenting and sharing i guess
i am not sure if i have said it on here yet but, one of the biggest silver linings of this pandemic for me has been to be able to create more art than i ever have before
it’s all i can and want to do
if my hands are physically busy, my mind won’t wonder as much
