How Far I've Fallen

I haven't taken a shower or changed my clothes in three days (I'm sure you can't tell from the photo), I've just packed and cleaned and walked around my house in a bit of an overwhelmed daze. Now it's T minus 3 hours til I have to be back at camp and there's still so much to do. To top it off, the Vespa dealership keeps sending me away with a pat on the back proclaiming 'there's nothing wrong with your Vespa!' only to have it die the next time I stop for gas. Turns out the fuel pump in tons of these bikes was just recalled and I am waiting for them to tow my Vespa yet again. At least I am vindicated.

I Caved

And I'm very happy I did. I've enjoyed these an immense amount the past few months. I wear them any time I need some extra sass in my life.

Bon Voyage

Goodbye, Futon. You weren't really very comfortable, and you did slouch way too much, and roll when you weren't supposed to. But, we did spend a lot of time together, you and I. So thanks for the good times. Have fun with the college students.

RIP.

Moving is here!

My brother and I are locked in a lease until August 16, but things have fallen into place and miracle of all miracles, they’re ready to let us out of our lease on the 16th of June if we’re able! I am beyond overwhelmed about getting out of here so soon, because after the 10th I am working summer staff at camp, which means being at camp close to 24/7 overseeing a group of 14-15 yr olds. But I am grateful that God answered prayer so quickly and resoundingly in this situation. He will be faithful, this is what I say quietly to myself as I walk, and sit, and think, and pray…I need his help and I believe he will give it to me.

So bring on the boxes!

All Is Calm, All is Bright

The rain is on the roof, and Amos Lee is singing to me.
A candle is burning, and I am sewing.
I am pretty near perfectly happy.

Blue

I'm feeling blue.

I'm working on a Saturday.

It's raining.

And cold.

And June.

Where is the justice? The whole world is warmer than Santa Cruz.

On the upside, my lovely dentist said after my checkup, 'you have beautiful teeth'. I wanted to hug her. Not one cleaning in 6 years, and I still have beautiful teeth. She says it is partly to do with growing up in the Midwest - it was cheap in the 50s to add systems that would put fluoride into the water. Out here, people don't want anything added that isn't natural...so they all have bad teeth. Bummer. BUT, I mostly attribute my good teeth to Sonicare. Thank you, amazing toothbrush.
