Wishful Thinking

Dear Portland,
This morning I woke and the sun was shinning and the birds were singing and it was warm outside. I got up out of bed and made myself a feast of a breakfast, looked up directions to the Lone Pine State Park entrance, packed a lunch and got in car. I got to the park, no fees, and hung out in the forest all day enjoying the sights, the smells, and the simplicity of my day.

NOT

What really happened when I woke up, was me freezing, rushing to make some hot tea and turn on the heat. I wasn't hungry and didn't eat breakfast. I sat down in my "living room" on the floor amidst all my started projects, intending to do some leather work but just wasn't feeling it. I made some more hot tea and got back into bed a feel asleep until 3pm. When I woke up I grabbed the magazines Mary lent me (Martha Stewart Living, Mother Earth News) and bundled up to sit in the afternoon sun on my porch. That lasted about half a cigarette. It started to rain and got colder. Back to bed. I really didn't want to work on the other arm warmer from my color work knitting project but powered through it. It's almost done and my elbow and fingers are hurting. Probably because I put layers on and then turned off the heat. Knitting in the cold always makes my fingers get sore faster. I finally got hungry around 7pm. Made some food and researched making homemade preserves along with watching some LA Ink.

Another day, productive in its own way I guess. No news on the registration for my classes but I am going to talk to Melanie on Monday.

About Me

The Learning Curve of an Adult Child is singularly me. I suppose it's about the trials and tribulations involved in what "they" call being a grown-up. But maybe it's just about things that happen and things I think about... (Also, that is my computer generated pirate name) My other blog, [hap]hazard, is my best friend and I. We enjoy adventuring.
