My friend dear reader,
how are you feeling? how was your week so far? I’m slowly recovering from +6 days in bed with fever (and the broken finger) and I’ve been through all the feelings. First I curled up in my bed like a baby squirrel, relatively cozy. Sipping ginger/lemon tea. Hopeful that I’ll be back to normal the following day. Did not happen. I felt so lost and bored, then anger came and cabin fever. I though I’m gonna lose it and a major lack of inspiration hit me. This is an disastrous feeling. You can give me fever, broken bones, bad breath but don’t make me feel uninspired…
I made this V-Day collage despite the fact that I’m not feeling V-dayish at all. My husband always told me that he does not like to celebrate Valentine’s Day because it’s just a huge money making event for the flower industry. And that he prefers buying me flowers on other days (which he does). Fair enough. I too believe that love does not need a certain day to be celebrated but I get that some men and women might need a reminder to honor their loved ones. And this is Valentine’s Day. But you know what I’ve been Anti-Valentine’s Day for so many years now that I secretly crave not being so Anti. Can I de-anti somehow? Magically awake with hearts in my eyes (and manicured onto my nails), hair freshly washed, spending the full day getting dressed up for V-DateNight. We know I won’t become that person but my question is. If you decide not to go for Valentine’s Day is there an alternative day we could declare as Love Day? Or do we simply miss out?
Fell in love with another Decanter. This happens to me all the time. So I present myself with 3 reasons not to buy it: 1.) the price 2.) the limited space in our kitchen, already full of water carafes and glass ware 3.) I don’t drink a lot and especially no red wine. so no need for a wine decanter.
quote of the day and sick mood:
“YOU HAVE A FEBRUARY FACE, SO FULL OF FROST, STORM,
AND CLOUDINESS.”
- Shakespeare (from Much Ado About Nothing)
After writing Basic Instinct I had a major aha moment. More about this in the next post… Enjoy your day, however you spend or/and celebrate it. xx, Carola
