Things I had planned to do today:
* Clean fans, cover and take to kura + busted lamp
* Same with the straw window shades
* Record another ukulele song or storybook video
What I’m actually going to do:
* stay in bed
* fold laundry
* listen to a hockey game
I have many things to say about:
* Reasons for my – apparently outlier – obsession with New Year’s cards (and postcards in general)
* Penchant for publishing unabashedly mediocre ukulele playing and “singing-ish” songs
* Things I wanted to do in December but frankly won’t
Etc.
Pleasant afternoon yesterday at goat farm (took no photos) meet-up with another family from YMCA preschool with a Vancouver connection and 3 brilliant and adorable daughters. Much talking and enjoying but of course, overdid it.
Head pounding, so tired, skipped mochi event :(
But Ichiro came home with three special emoji treats and we goofed around in bed eating them and cuddling for a little bit before he went to tea ceremony with mama
Fun way to distract myself from the incredible amount of pain I’m dealing with and pretend I don’t know its is a beautiful day outside and delay folding the laundry.
Little snack plate of dried persimmon orange, keeping the light low and switching to hydration (but gonna make some turmeric tea soon)
Extra oddities:
Thinking about this ^ so much recently as one wrong step over the last 10+ years which were seemingly filled with completely wrong steps (plus tragedies, chaos, collapse, loss) this whole life I’m in wouldn’t exist (literally and figuratively)
Broken: Well, I’m gonna have to finally learn kintsugi / my absurdly “large volume” coffee cup a casualty of a hasty accident / pour one out, quite literally
Recovery plan #StillLifeWithCoffee
Re: Bialetti “Moka pot” coffee maker, I should be the spokesperson for these wonderful units as the first thing I buy whenever I set up house “anywhere in the world” is buy one of these. And then, always assuming I will return to whatever “house” i leave it there or gift it.
And they rank right up there with classic Japanese payphones and US mail post boxes as “understated beauty in practical utility” design.
