One of my goals for the month is to NOT talk about the sleep that I’m not getting.
Instead, I’ll show you the place I visited with a friend yesterday morning. While there, we carried on a conversation about writing and kids and social issues while drinking a snickerdoodle latte (me) and a pumpkin spice chai (her).
The evening before found me eating a veggie bowl with Tempe before journeying across the road to a coffee place for knitting and a discussion about current events and poverty and race and government-orchestrated segregation.
This morning I visited a friend who has an amazing outlook on life and a recording studio in her van. (Honestly, I’m friends with some of the very best people. Remind me to tell you about my wind chimes.) As I sat in her passenger seat, I voiced a quote from To Kill a Mockingbird followed by three of my favorite Bible verses. Afterwards, we drank coffee and talked about life and I could have stayed there for days.
When I got home, I grilled mushrooms and squash with coconut aminos and then Scout and I crashed on the couch for two hours.
I’m so lucky to have good friends and warm dogs and coconut aminos.
This evening Jeff is out with a friend and the girls are getting ready to crash so I can kick back with flannel pajamas and hot tea and John Irving. I’ll look forward to seeing you tomorrow. ‘ ‘ ‘text/javascript’>
I love the look of that knitting project! And so neat that you have a fluffy furry snuggle buddy. I am thinking “warm flannel pjs and a hopefully good book” thoughts your way this very minute!
Hmm, I have learnt something new – I’d never heard of coconut aminos before. Shall have to search out some here in the UK!
Coconut aminos, A Prayer for Owen Meany, To Kill a Mockingbird….
We are aligned.
It makes me feel good that you appreciate your friends and your life. Some people aren’t inclined to do that. Plus: I LOVE the photographs in this post. Really love them.
