Home again

This is me at the airport earlier. The chairs they have in the airport are not comfortable so as soon as I could I found a corner to sit in. It was all well and good until I didn't notice one of my feet falling asleep. Which meant when I stretched it out I realized I had no idea what my ankle/foot was doing until I actually looked at it. Oops.

We got home safe. I took a nap and then I've been puttering a little bit here and there this evening. Lots more to share about the trip (and life), but that will have to wait for tomorrow. It'll probably show up in my feed over the next couple of days so that none of the posts gets too long and so that I can put them together here and there inbetween more puttering and reading.

I'll be tagging all these posts with "SoCal trip" so feel free to block that if you aren't interested or search for the term on my blog if you want to make sure you haven't missed anything.

Night all :)

Writing Update 7/2

Morning everyone :) I’ve got a lot on my plate right now, but finding the time to keep writing and doing other art is important to me. Which means I’ve been finding time to poke and prod my brains into action whenever I can. 

Last week:

I wrote 5 days out of 7 last week. That’s honestly more than I expected to pull off. I would have been happy just to keep some forward momentum going! I think I’ve managed to find that place again where writing is a safe haven. Now to get a really good map so that I can find my way back next time I go rambling and get lost... 

Anyway - the majority of my writing this week hasn’t been fiction. I count blog posts if they are more than a paragraph and I put any thought into them at all. Why? Well any time you write you are flexing those muscles, and with everything else going on I want to make sure I’m acknowledging the little things. 

I’ve been posting about my upcoming move, pictures from my SoCal Trip, and I wrote a letter for @merigreenleaf from her characters for her birthday. I’ve also taken some notes behind the scenes as I figure out what pictures I have left to share and some stories about my trip that I’ve had brewing in the back of my head. I just haven’t had the emotional energy to get them down in words. Getting ready for this move is taking a lot of my brains lol It feels kinda silly to still be slowly sharing stuff about my trip - it wasn’t that long after all - but I figure slow is better than not at all. 

This week: 

I would love to finish sharing things about my SoCal Trip. I’m getting to the point where most of what’s left are things I want to write about and the pictures that go with some of those posts. IF I actually manage to finish all of it then I have plenty of other things to work on and I’ll figure out what the next thing is when the time comes.

I’ve fallen in love with succulents in the last two years, and California has a lot of them in their outdoor decoration because ... it’s California lol So of course I had to get a photo.

I really like how this one came out. It feels like something you’d see on a cheap greeting card somewhere. Why a cheap one? Well - because I don’t have any delusions of this being a prize winning photo lol Photo taken on my SoCal Trip.
