Yesterday


Yesterday is a day I am so very glad is behind me.
My friends all say I was fantastic because I didn't shed one tear.

What most of them don't know is that I cried all the way home, curled into a ball on my bed when I got there and cried for hours afterward.

Crying gives me such a headache. I really need to stop doing that.

I'm glad that you made it through as well as could be expected. Remember we're just a phone call away. Love and hugs

I'm so sad to hear all this. Not that you did well in court; that was good. But about how destructive this experience has been to you, overall. That is really sad!

Yes, I can understand how crying can give one a headache. That is another pain without which you can do nicely.

I wish I could be more helpful. I'm a long way away. Fortunately, you've got friends who are a lot closer.

Sadly, I have this feeling that it's going to be a while before this all gets put right. Or some semblance of right. If that is even possible.

Blessings in this challenging time; Bear hugs too (from a gentle old Bear).

Cannwin I think life is hardest when we're making decisions on our own, or that are outside of the support of those we feel should be supporting us the most. You are not alone despite how it feels right now. You're getting through the hardest part, just wait once you hit the bottom the only place is to go up... The tears will stop falling as hard, you'll no longer curl up and cry life will move on, granted like a recently healing wound the skin is tender and breaks easily but you'll get through it.
I love you, and my prayers are with you. Look after yourself.

Hi there sweet old friend :) - I've been reading your blog recently and am so saddened to hear about the challenges you are passing through right now. To help get you through some of those crying moments, just imagine how ridiculous we looked doing exercises on your little living room floor! (Haha!) Miss you and I really can't believe this. If you want to send me your info, I'd love to talk.

How-To Pretend You Work For Anthropologie

The problem with Anthropologie is that they cost way too much money. WAY TOO MUCH! I mean, come on--these book boxes: source: Anthropologie Cost $68-$188! Do you have that kind of money? I don't, but you know what I do have? I have a library with a cart full of free books that no one really cares about! So guess what I did... I made my own (and then I gave them away because I really don't have anywhere to put them). Here's how. What do you think?

Altered Shoe Art: Ring Holder Shoe Tutorial

Image
This was my week two craft for So You Think You're Crafty. I placed third that week for this one. I thought you might enjoy finding out how I made it. I tried about a million different decorations before settling on one that didn't drown out my rings. I wanted them to the focal point. This is also why I went with black fabric and not something more vivid. Don't be intimidated by the lack of 101 I'm giving you. It really is a straight forward sort of project. If you know how to use a glue gun without burning yourself you can do this. Just be sure to dust off your imaginative brain space first. :) The one important thing you might be wondering is how I got the pink fabric to stick to the shoe. I really just Mod Podged it on. There are several different ways to make ring tubes that you can find online. One I saw used that colored foam paper stuff that you find in the kids craft section. I thought that might have been easier, but I had scraps o

Mutterings of a Middle-Aged Dreamer

Use your words, my dear sweet soul, they are inside of you... So find them. Write, you silly girl, write so hard the world will never forget you. But does it matter if the world remembers you?  Age begins to press its hands upon your chest and the need to be remembered seems to increase with the pressure.  Stop. That's not a line of thought you're interested in pursuing.  Live in the now. Does it matter if the world remembers you if your neighbor is going hungry?  Perhaps age is merely pushing you out the door.  Go. Live in the now.
