How goes it with y'all?
Sorry I've been scarce, dealing with life, the universe and everything you know? This weekend I'm all by my ownsome and decided to take the plunge on something that I didn't have the courage to do before now. @janitzearratia will know what I'm talking about here...
I had a baby in January this year who has been adopted by a lovely family and he's doing well. People don't know my reasons for the decision and they don't need to, but I know it was the right one for the little guy and his future. That pregnancy wasn't easy as he was a big baby and I'm a small person. I had a natural birth in under 6hrs at a public hospital where I received very good care as did the little guy who now weighs almost 9 kgs and will be turning 6 months old in a few days. Happy half birthday buddy.
LL isn't here at the moment and the house feels weirdly quiet and empty. She is such a huge presence and such a vibrant person, that without her, it all seems pretty darn grey and dull. I miss her so much, every moment, but she deserves to have some fun in her life. Life with mom is shite.
Having been so sick of late, I've lost a lot of weight, probably about 6kgs so I took the plunge and tried on my favourite pair of jeans. The ones that hug my bottom in all the right ways and the torn knees that really kicked off my mom's OCD. Shame, I probably shouldn't have worn them around her. Sorry mom. They fit me again and felt right. They are shabby and hoboesque, not the kind of thing you wear out to town, but I love the way they feel.
So I'm getting re-aquainted with my jeans and packing up some stuff that is no longer required. I might take a walk this evening and put my toes in the water for a while. I might go in search of cake or a custard donut. There might be coffee and some yoghurt and photography and art. Maybe I'll be adventurous and put on some music, add some life to the air in my sister's cabin. I might brush my kitten's fur and talk to them, water the Rosemary that was a gift from Melanie next door, check on LL's pea plants and maybe rake up the last of the fallen leaves from the Hazel Pine.
It might be a boring weekend of solitude, but boring is part of life, might as well enjoy it before things get frenetic again. Ebb and flow, rise with the swell.
Hello Andy Ranger
How beautiful you are, you are a brave, talented mother and a natural beauty inside and out.
Definitely my fraternal friend I am grateful and happy to see you with your lifestyle tailored to enjoy this wonderful life with different nuances, but I assure you that each one brings joy to live with your BB with your close friends and supporting each of the person that we make life in this space of the weekend commitment.
That photo is that the engines are roaring, as well as the one that shows you triumphing at the top of that mountain in South Africa. I am grateful for these moments that allow me to accompany you in your loneliness, giving you a heart-to-heart hug.❤️
It is a testimony, an experience, or as the great dragon warrior embodied in neuroscience would say, "it is an interesting point of view."
Again, THANK YOU, thank you for the trust, thank you for what you taught me, I appreciate the opportunity to share in the distance and in your beneficial and nurturing solitude.
¡Universe more of this please!
I wish you infinite blessings! @andrastia
I'd say that getting into those ass-hugging-in-all-the-right-ways jeans and moving on some clothing that's too big now is a reasonably way to spend a weekend. I'm watching F1 roughr now and doing some recon on Sunday for pergola stuff. Nothing special really.
Thanks G-Dog, enjoy your F1 and recon trip, hope you find the right goodies for the pergola.
Selling off shit that you don't need anymore or passing it along to charities is a good way to clear out the clutter and cobwebs, something I've been wanting to do for a while.
Have a good one, hope the vroom-vroom is awesome.
Cheers
Clutter clearing is indeed enjoyable, provided one doesn't continue clutter collecting to fill the space clutter clearing created.
Lol, agreed. I have a whole storage unit that I'm going to be clearing out soon, wish me luck 😁
Luck has been wished, so I know it will all work out well. Luck says so.
Thank you 🌻
It’s so quiet without the little ones in the house isnt it?! In august the little man is going to camp with my wife in another state for the weeks and coming home on the weekends. I don’t know what I’m going to do with myself in those times lol it’s going to be rather boring!
I donated my favorite pair of jeans this year. They were already tight to begin with when I got them and enjoyed them but sadly it was time to let them go. Hopefully I’ll find another pair at a different size lol but even at my best weight and most fit they were snug.
It's really eerily quiet and there isn't the same buzz in the air as usual. I am not coping very well to be honest, but change happens and you gotta find ways to cope, I'm sure you'll feel just as odd while the little guy and your wife are away. If I still had a garage full of half finished projects, I'd throw myself into that lol.
It sounds like you made the right decision as difficult as it may have been, we get to a point where we have to move these things along. I'm sure you'll find the right pair, the universe has a way of sorting that kind of thing out.
Have a good one
Cheers

Your decisions are your own and nobody needs to know them or question them.
Y'know, I've got a pair of jeans that are all ripped up, too, and they're the most comfortable ones I have. Putting those on with a t-shirt gives me that rugged look that I'm sure no one but me appreciates. 'tis a good feeling, though. For me.
You're a great person, you know. Ebbs and flows will always come back to flows. This I know.
Hi Victor.
Thanks for coming by and for your comment. I think that sometimes wearing a pair of ripped up jeans is liberating.
Have a good end to the weekend
Andrastia what a pleasure to greet you and see you here, may those jeans look spectacular on you, and may everything you have in your closet make you feel light and as always an all-terrain woman.
A big hug with the kind of length that makes you smile.
