I am just in a blah type of mood and really don't feel well. I have been working SO much these days that it seems the only thing I have the energy for is Pinterest.
I love Pinterest. It is harmless. It is inspiring. It is mindless and relaxing. I have more boards filled with other people's creativity, dreams and projects. Which is totally depressing because I am SO tired I cannot even inspire myself off my favorite overstuffed comfy chair to accomplish anything but the basic necessities of food, clothing and sleep.
Fall has always been my favorite time of year. I love everything about fall. The colors, the scents, the weather that is always tinged with expectancy. Big changes always happen for me in the fall. This year was no exception. A new position in a new company. A new truck (and a new truck payment. ick.) A new thyroid medication...the list goes on. I look at my home that is usually not just my pride and joy, but my sanctuary, and I cringe. Where is MY creativity? I want my home to reflect the beauty of the seasons! I want my home to be my place to recharge and reconnect with that which is vital and important! I want my energy back!
This year, the rehab group will be doing Halloween costumes with a theme. We are going as characters from The Wizard of Oz...something the older people in the facility will recognize and enjoy. I, along with my trusty therapy dog Scarlett, will be going as Dorothy, with Scarlett tagging along as Toto.
Okay. So she will be Toto on steroids... Trying to find a light blue gingham fabric in Kingman, Arizona is totally impossible. I even went to the local quilting shop and alas! They had no light blue gingham! Neither did WalMart, which is pretty much the only other place you can get any type of fabrics. However, they DID have a navy blue gingham check fabric, so I bought that. I shall be going as the 'Black and White" KANSAS version of Dorothy with the exception of some very colorful ruby slippers.
I shall post photos of us when I get the costume done. It ought to be a fun day. Now today, I am supposed to be SEWING this costume as I only have 5 days before I have to wear it. And I have NO energy.
And then there is the matter of cleaning house, not to mention the barn...oh my! I hope my thyroid meds kick in REAL soon!
In the meantime, I hope your Sunday is filled with good things, for as we know...
Every good thing bestowed and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation, or shifting shadow.

And fall IS perfect! Happy Sunday, my friend!
