bland.  isn't it a great word for the meaning it carries?…bland?   so….in general a bland day.  It's the HUMIDITY….i constantly forget humidity,  it's almost unknown here except during times like these and it puts this layer of well Humidity on everything that for me, slows things,  dulls things,  thickens things.   It was Music Thursday and a very excellent one.  Alz. B.   sang and patted away with her hands in time and trilled away with Shirly and her mandolin who does the Celtic ballads  but aside from that it was a very dulled just going day  but i'd woken up this morning with Firm Resolve to get rid of the two futon mattresses and get a bunk bed.  I looked everywhere online,  there are no furniture stores here,  and jeez.  But i hate to admit it, but Walmart has a metal one.

Cheap.

but it will serve, i think.  I just need to go from Full to Twin.  Feel SO claustrophobic in there.  And, really,  all i do is sleep,  so…it will serve.  Most likely.

and a little on the baby's Fishing Girl Pants.  Need to finish tomorrow.  She has a 9 inch inseam.  Is that sweet or what.  Had her mom measure.  (who didn't know what an inseam was)

have this much of the thrift shop shirt left….i guess i will need to make her a pinafore apron someday when she begins sous chef ing with her dad.

i cleaned up the table and these three scraps wanted to stay together.

I feel kind of brain dead,  flatlining……………………………………………………rain………………………………

and i almost forgot to say.  After all that anxiety,  all that comotion,  it might very well be that the BIG GIANT SCAREY STORM CELL has shifted just some and will miss us tonight entirely, head for Carlesbad in stead.  All that for not so much.  yup.

    Both you & Jude are off today, while I am on. It is my dad’s 89th birthday & my friend’s 51st birthday, with me somewhere in between. Ran dogs & rode horses today to celebrate with both. It really doesn’t get better than that :} Hope you two are on the mend soon!

    Well un-flatline yourself… take yourself out of the land of bland and celebrate** Look at this unique, colorful and loving gift for baby girl, her very own fishing pants that only you would think to make for her.I tell you they are such an uplift to see; just makes me smile because I can see her with her Daddy, he tall with his fly fishing rod and baseball cap, her with her 9″ inseam, laughing at the swish of the fishing line and the glimpse of a fish. Just think of the memories that will come when she puts on these pants…sigh!

    yes. her fishing pants with the 9 inch inseam. Gianna Lily Alluvial Fan who i don’t get to see, really, because of Goats….how it goes, and her mother who worries, bless her, a worrying mother and her father who is my son who was raised to Just Go, even before i took those words for face value. Just Go. Even realized them
    well, ok. then. UN Flatline. OK. and finish the pants which will be sent with a Tin Tea Set from Amazon. Maybe when they are out somewhere in Colorado Wild Lands they might take the tea set and she can pour tea for them????

    i imagine her legs–the 9 inch inseam legs–and consider all of the places those legs will carry her on this journey. and i picture her–for Gianna Lily Alluvial Fan–walking in light–just going as you say.

    Humid. Ha. I could tell you a thing or too about humidity… And heat indexes. But really it was amazingly mild here all summer. Husband just told me it was the hottest August worldwide since they have been keeping records. Not here. But somewhere. and enough to make it a record. So it will go I think.
    Love the shorts and the thought of the fish fabric waiting.

    I love futons they are wonderful when they are new and squishy but not so good when they are old and flat and hard so please think twice about giving yourself a cheap bed Grace!
    Beds are for dreaming, they are our personal portals to the unknown, the safe ships we sail with into the dark nights, a place of retreat, a space to feel safe & let go of the day to day, a delicious respite from the hard “yakka”* of the day, a place to let all the muscles relax and get the kinks out, a sanctuary to incubate the whatever happens next…

    ok…so i see the words “ran dogs”…that means you are somewhere with SPACE. rode horses. rode horses…again….SPACE.
    NO. it doesn’t. Get better than that.
    WHERE ARE YOU????????????????????????????????????????????????
    not specifically, cause i know you are wary like a coyote, but
    just generally. is it just curiosity that i ask? no. because
    that’s not good enough reason, but i want to KNOW YOU MORE.
    SUN is here. all is well.

    Chef. I love being sous chef to my son. It’s one of my really best best things.

    the futon is a very very good one, so not squashed. but the thing is that it’s TOO BIG for such a small room. It’s ROOM SIZE. want
    small. I love my bed. Every single night i love my bed and it’s the last thing i think as i fall into sleep how much i love my bed in my safe Space. But…
    But. i need to be able to clean under it and with this i can’t. i am just at the end of a road with it. I am small and light. as i have said so many times before, i could sleep on a piece of paper towel.

    it’s that bipolar world seasonal thing too, you’re just moving into fall in the North Countries whilst we’re just coming out of the cocoon of winter here in the Land Down Under where the warmest place in the house is snuggled up in bed with a good book under the pile of blankets!
