Appreciations Year Three: Day 364

Scrolling through posts on FB and thinking how much I really, really like my smart, sassy, funny, honest, vulnerable, brave, delightful friends.

Fun first meetings. New people are interesting! 🙂

Delicious coffee at Royal Grounds.

More working and listening to the rain. I love that this weather still feels like a treat — and that it will make the sunshine and heat feel like a treat when they return.

Newly arranged bedroom – disorienting and fun!

Appreciations Year Three: Day 363

Sitting by the window working, listening to the rain. What a cozy sound!

Tazo teas.

Finally finished painting my bedroom! Now the fun part – rearranging furniture, going through the stuff that lived in my room before the project – and only keeping joy-sparking things. I see another trip to drop off donations in my future. 🙂

Toby nestToby, who is loving the makeshift nest that appears each day when I move all the stuff out of my room in order to paint. 😉

Another lovely, rainy day. It’s fun to have a change from all the hot sunny weather we’ve been having.

Sweet friends saying hi and checking in – just when I need it!

Appreciations Year Three: Day 361

Fun evening hanging out with David last night…though I really need to remember not to stay up so late! 😛
Sweet gray, rainy, thundery day. Made for a cozy day to stay in.

Room project #3 complete! Yay! Made progress on room project #2 today, too — I think we’ll be able to finish tomorrow! Then no more projects for awhile. 😉

Listening to my achy head and going to bed early – before 10 pm!

Fun evening with Danny – dinner and ComedySportz All-Star show! ❤

Improvisor field trip to Jim’s Apple Farm today – my first time. Um, wow, that is a lot of candy in one place! Thanks for suggesting it, Bryan! I bought coffee soda…flavor report to follow soon… 😉

1st coat of color on both room #2 AND room #3…. Getting close to the finish line on this round of home improvement projects!

Joking with the hygienist Hai during my appointment today. I love that dental appointments can be fun. 🙂

Getting to spend a little time with my folks today. Dad is getting a little better every day!

Sweet and funny messages that come at just the right time. ❤

IMG_3278Luna, for moving to sit right on the corner. Twice! And Cina, for both noticing this habit and encouraging Luna to continue the practice.

Appreciations Year Three: Day 355

Sunny and slightly cooler, less humid weather. Gorgeous!

The funny little signals I get that my iron is getting low again…whenever ice starts to seem like a delicious meal, I know it’s time to increase my iron intake. 😛

The feeling of lightness I’m getting as I continue decluttering and downsizing. After my bedroom is painted, I’m only moving things back in that give me joy. How lovely.
