Boxed Sunshine

Feeling more productive the last couple weeks! Yay!

December and January, looking back, had lots of stuff happening. And no posts. Bad habits die hard. What can I say.

But! I'm getting back into the swing of it! (It took a month, but hey. I got here at least!)

The fiancé also bought me a box of sunlight! If I'm honest, I thought it was a bunch of hokum... but it actually works. Brain-eyeball trickery! Despite the grossness outside I still feel energized. Heck, even if it's just a placebo effect, I'll take it!

Anyways, this week I'm working on the 70s sweater dress and getting my tomato seeds planted. Senõr Garden the Second, I'll meet you soon enough!

Lucky in Love

Often, when I'm feeling down in the dumps, I'm reminded that despite what else is 'going wrong' in my life, I am very lucky in Love.

I have amazing friends, who even though I never see them in person (3100km will do that) still message me and make time in their busy lives to skype or FT me.

I have an amazing fiancé who, even though he sometimes drives me up the fricken wall, cares enough to comfort me when I'm sad and tell me off when I'm being a dick.

It's easy to take people for granted, especially when they become regular parts of the day. So it's nice to take some time to thank them and tell them with words:

"I appreciate you. I'm glad you're in my life."

In less cryptic post news

I'm alive! I swear. 

Perhaps not totally brain alive. But technically I still walk and talk and move around.

I've been doing a lot of event planning and coordinating for the board I sit on (executive director is a Way fancier name than it deserves). And it's been rather distracting....

I should know myself well enough to realize when I'm making excuses. Haha. 

Ah well. 

There will be new posts forth coming, in the future, she says, for the forth time. ;)

Till then! I've got master plans. Master. Plans.
