I’ve had a headache since I got here. I’m more than a little sick of it. today we went to a thai restaurant that my phone assured me was excellent. it wasn’t that exactly but they did have barbies dressed in Thai costumes and my mom pulled up her shirt to show me how beautiful her bypass scar is. after that we went to get the car washed and she suddenly got r e a l s l o w. like a doll winding down. she was holding a half eaten candy in one hand and 17 dollar bills in the other and she closed her eyes and fell asleep just like that. that was it for our outing. it’s beautiful here today. big puffy clouds and a nice breeze, there’s been talk of rain but not a drop has fallen since I’ve been here.

Is it wrong to do yoga while watching day of the damned?maybe…Is it yoga if you’re just lying there?I’m finding it difficult to do more than that. Today we went to the cemetery to put plastic flowers on my grandmother’s grave, something my Mom tried to get me to do last time I was here. I didn’t have the heart to refuse her again though I honestly do not see the point of this other than it makes my Mom feel better. Afterwards she wanted to go shopping and again I couldn’t refuse even though I felt like I might faint. She doesn’t get out much.Tomorrow is going to be a long day.I’m homesick already. I think it’s mostly because I feel like a crap sandwich and it’s making me cranky and my mother’s kitchen is the most uncomfortable kitchen I’ve ever seen and ….I miss my furry beasts. especially the tall handsome one.

It’s been a quiet week.

Nothing but yoga, walks with Ms
Lu, sewing, knitting, drawing, watching Sci-Fi.
Dishes piled high in the sink, books and yarn and clothes scattered around. The bed left unmade.
No obligations.
Staying up late getting up late.
Doing whatever the hell I want and nothing I don’t want.

I’m soaking in it.

My sewing machine is ready to be picked up from the shop today. I have not missed it since it’s a finicky thing and has given me more fits than any sewing machine I’ve ever owned but at least it was really expensive.

Lesson learned. 

I have a cheap little work horse that does what needs doing.

This is my Scarlet O’Hara coat, or my Gone With the Wind Coat  fashioned from a bolt of upholstery fabric scored at the Goodwill. It also made some very groovy curtains.

The first bowl in this current bowl business.
I’m working on number five. I think I might be done after the next. On to….
something else.
It’s grayish blue today. 
Lu and I walked along the cliffs this morning and the ocean was still as a pond. We passed two ladies waving little dumbbells in front of them as they walked.
I’m leaving for Florida in two weeks and I’m not dreading it.
That’s really something.

Lately I’ve been making these little vessels.
I don’t know why I like them so much. I keep adding different elements to them, fabric, beads wire.  I’ve made a few of them so far. One of those crazy things I get stuck on.
 I think what I’m enjoying about them the most is how quickly they come together and that I can sew, knit, crochet, felt and bead all in one little object.

And then I can fill them with candy.
