Spring is Almost Here

Yesterday we took advantage of the beautiful sunshine by going down to the lake to read. Relaxing outdoors with David is always a highlight of my week. There were so many friendly people out and about and it was a delight to luxuriate in the day collectively. I’m hoping for more moments like this soon. Next time, a picnic is definitely in order.

Life on Weekends

I can easily say this was one of the best weekends I’ve had in months, and for some of the most ordinary reasons. I read, drank coffee, took walks, went to church, ate brunch, spent time with family around the firepit, watched episode after episode of The Killing, and almost all of it with David. It was all very worthwhile. I felt a weight lifted, the unexplained emotional burden jabbing at me all week had gone. I hope to have more weekends like it soon.

  • Yesterday I posted this photo in stories but deleted it shortly after because I was embarrassed. I look angry but in truth this is my face at rest, albeit tired. Most days I look at my post-menopausal face and body and don’t recognize them, but in this moment the anger, sadness, and loathing I normally experience (which is a complicated topic) was more subdued. I liked the picture so I’m not sure I know how to articulate why posting it felt so unacceptable. Here it is again, acting as a reminder to just post the damn thing. 
Lately the need to be more open about menopause, something I’ve shared with very, very few people, is one I’ve felt strongly. I don’t know exactly what that looks like in such a public space, but I think it’s worth exploring.
  • I haven’t felt terribly festive this year (a statement I’ve probably made for 4+ years) but we’re going to Kentucky on Christmas Day and I’m crossing my fingers for snow to put me in the holiday mood. Because of the bookstore we don’t get to take vacations or visit family often and we are beyond ready for some time away.
  • I hope new plant growth always excites me as much as it does today.
  • Sinus infection day four: dressing way better than I feel. And I promise I don’t wear this skirt every day 🙃
  • Just looking at this painting makes me feel calm.
