Jiminy I should dust now and then.
Anyway – welcome back to the world’s shittiest blog. I just cannot get back into the swing of things around here. I’m definitely not a multi-tasker. I can only handle one stimulus at a time. I do think once I’ve really settled into the routine at work that things will pick up around here.
That print was given to me by my sister and brother-in-law about ten years ago. I love it. It is Oberon and Titania from a Midsummer’s Night Dream. There is this fabulous old book seller at the Dicken’s Faire every year and he sells prints as well. The books are old not the seller. Although, to be fair, he is getting up there. The books and the seller are both fabulous.
My brother-in-law bought the print from him. Probably while I was standing right next to him perusing all the wonderful old books.
It hangs in our tiny little second bathroom. No one ever showers in there so I don’t have to worry about the humidity ruining it. I do keep meaning to upgrade the frame it is in. It deserves something nicer.
I feel like I spent the weekend prepping for the work week ahead. See what I mean? I really need to work on a better work/life balance. Fortunately this past weekend was deliciously cool and fall like. I spent Sunday afternoon ironing shirts for the upcoming week. It makes getting ready for work so much more efficient.
I do have a clothes steamer that is brilliant for getting out the odd wrinkle here or there that I use a lot in the morning but there is nothing like being able to pull out a crisply ironed shirt.
I hope the temperatures are cooling down where you are. It was so lovely to actually have to use a blanket on our bed and to need to wear a sweater during the day.
Have a wonderful week and here’s hoping the content improves around here. Soon.

Don’t kick yourself so hard! I enjoy reading and seeing whatever you post whenever you post it. It is one of my treasured treats to look forward to seeing. I don’t think I would enjoy it so much if you feel forced to keep posting despite personal cost. Breathe.

Aww thank you Amy. I do love writing the blog and sharing content. I know I’ll get back into a better rhythm one of these days!

I agree! Your readers are here and we all understand about how busy life can be. I like to read about normal, ordinary days and weeks too. Your blog reflects the place you are right now. Honestly knowing that you struggle with making time for everything is reassuring because most of us also do.
Andrea says
Thank you Melissa. You guys are all so understanding. I know I’ll get back into the swing of these one of these day.

Your blog makes my Fridays. I totally look forward to it. Keep up the interesting stories. You are just doing fine.
Congrats to your new job. In Hawaii, today is Aloha Friday.
Keep smiling.

Thank you Marcia. I’m hoping that I’ll get back into the routine of it soon. Meanwhile the job is going great so I can’t complain too much!
