Good lord, I’m tired. Migraine again last night. Tired all day. While training is interesting and makes the time pass quickly, it’s HARD.
Stepped out of my car tonight in front of my house and I smelled the most amazing smell. It’s unbelievable, and I can’t think how to describe it. Hmmmm. You know that autumn smell of wood-fires burning? It was that, in the crisp, cold air, with the full moon hanging bright, but it was married with the strongest smell of cinnamon! It was holiday paradise. I felt like I was walking through a Hallmark commercial. Surreal.
I thought, Damn, my life is good. I was happy to open the door and greet Adah, happy to go into the back yard and find Digit, who ran meowing to my feet, happy to feed both of them.
MUCH less happy when Digit projectile vomited all over the living room. All over the blanket I made for Beth years ago (and which I’m keeping for her while she’s on the roadtrip). All over the corduroy couch.
Deep breaths. Lots of 409. No more food tonight. For either of us.
But it’s fall! Isn’t it the best? I can’t wait for my weekend – I want to rent movies and sit on my couch and knit the Must Have and oh yes, did I mention I’m seeing the Indigo Girls on Thursday? And Dar Williams on Saturday? (and I’m broke, but it’s worth it.)
Hope your moon is bright.
Indigo Girls on Thursday? Oh, I’m so jealous! Enjoy…:)
I’m coveting your lovely autumn experience! Breathe deep, baby!
Autumn smells put me in a great mood too. Happy cats waiting to be fed are the best. Cat vomit, maybe not so much…but renting movies and knitting and Indigo Girls and Dar Williams in the SAME WEEK! Your life IS good, baby! Revel in it.
Wow the concerts sound awesome!
I have to say — cause I’m a weak-stomach gal — that I’m amazed at your ability to stay so positive-focused after projectile vomiting. I would have cleaned it up and then been a grumpster the rest of the night. :o(
The moon was big and bright here last night, too. We smelled wood-fires, too.
I love this time of year. My favorite. You captured the essence beautifully.
(even the harsh reality of pet vomit!)
I was greeted with 3 piles of cat vomit this morning. Normally, not something I enjoy cleaning up but definitely not fun first thing in the morning!
Sing-along a song with the girls for me, Rachel.
I’m worried about you sweet thing…seems everytime I read you, you’ve got a migraine…have you seen a doctor yet? Don’t know how you are doing it, really…everytime I have one I feel like sh*! for several days afterward.
The Girls?!? Thursday? Where? I haven’t seen ’em live in a couple of years and I’ve really been digging Become You ever since I bought it a few weeks ago. I envy you, and I hope you have a great time at the show!
I wanna go with you…can I? huh? PLEEEEEASE?
sigh. Maybe after my surgery when I come to the Area of Bay
it will coincide with some awesome concert….
Sounds like you have a great week ahead of you! But no more migraines, please. We worry about you.
the indigo girls?! aww, man. wish i was catching that concert. shake ya booty for meeeeee! i’m gonna play Closer To Fine right now in their honor.
have fun!
