Niki de Saint Phalle, Garfield Park Conservatory; Chicago, IL
Feeling a little like this for the last few weeks. Pulled in and pulling myself in many different directions. Mostly just not feeling organized or at home. Could be based on my whirlwind trip to Cleveland. Could be based on my transition into my new full-time (vs. freelance) job. Could be that I’m just not sleeping well thanks to the trains and neighbor noise (which, thankfully, seems to be a non-issue now). Do I need to set up a home office instead of just working from the DR table or the sofa?
Trying to be content with what I have, which I am mostly, excepting the illegally small amount of counterspace in the kitchen (which I chose to live with when we rented this place, and which I could remedy by purchasing a butcher block table or cart of some kind). Should I even entertain the idea of a dog in the middle of all this internal refraction? Or, perhaps, that dog’s needs and interests would actually help me focus on something other than myself, get down to more of what matters.
V. nice to have the Johnson clan sitting around “my” dinner table last night.
Looking forward to celebrating more love with our friends Ethan and Michele this weekend as they prepare for their upcoming nuptuals.
Happily anticipating an evening walk with my man. Lots of hand holding.
