Self-medication

-

(Managed to fall asleep before clicking the publish button, & now it's past midnight here. Yeay me! I'm so good at the whole "write something every day"-project. o.O)
Tuesday's been a 'drag-my-feet-across-the-floor' kinda day.
Craptastic in other words!

Trying to keep my mind busy...even though I'm feeling quite feverish. Tasty teas, a painkiller, quotes, interior inspirations & several glances at some of the Kardashian Kollection is what I'm medicating myself with right now. (Looking forward to it being available at DP in November.) As with everything fashion & interior I can't say I fell in love with every single little thing available there... But a few things caught my eye:
.
One of the things I really liked is the back of the Jeweled Tunic... 
Both black & cream? I couldn't & wouldn't choose between them. ;)
.
 The Open Knit Sweater's something I'd wear to death... Could easily wear it at a party or at home. (...not that I get much out. :p)
.
Cuddling up in the sofa corner wearing this one? Yes, I think so!
.
 One of my favorite dresses is the Body-Con Keyhole dress... It's gorgeous.
Sexy? Oooh yeah... :) (All the pics are from SEARS.)
.
The Peak Shoulder Blazer reminds me somehow of the Victorian era...so it really hit a soft spot with me the first time I saw it. :)
I just love the pure lines of it. (Even though the cow print underneath is a f'in eyesore.)
.
It's late now. Zzzleepy... Going to dream about organized places, clean cut cloth, aged brass & warm grey colours.

Oscars 2018

I’m not watching the Oscars tonight. No, it’s not a protest. I’m just fed up with that echo chamber, plain & simple. If seeing someone blow up someone else’s a$$ tickles my fancy, I’ll just watch porn. Thinking back, movies have played a huge role in my life. I’ll even go as far as saying they helped shape me into the woman I am today. I learned that through adversity comes strength… Of course life has given me a hell of an a$$ kicking from time to time to remind me of that… But seeing those characters always filled me with enough gumption to get through it. They taught me that love comes free of charge (Can’t buy me love), that I don’t like huge animals kept in captivity (Free Willy) but do like hairy men (Austin Powers), that it’s not a good idea to give scientists free reins without supervision (Jurassic Park) & that there’s very little you can’t do if you just work together (See no evil, Hear no evil). They brought nightmares, never-ending stories…raised hell, terminated pe…

Imagine constantly getting exposed to pus & abscess from people’s open wounds... The putrid smell & constant oozing from the maggot infested lesion is straight in your face no matter where you turn. That’s how logging onto social media feels like these days to be honest. It’s like a mindless humming of utter bullsh*t...& I am guilty as hell for humming along with them at times. I miss smelling old books, reading them, learning things about history, nature, etc...



Anyway, I really dropped in to say that I had a rather lovely weekend. My son was here with his friends. The laughter & music filling the house when they’re here always lifts my spirit. A few minutes after they had left, it all took a rather abrupt turn though. My cat had a seizure. In almost 17 years we’ve never had any trouble with Loke. So it came as quite the shock for my son & I. It was awful seeing it. Talked to a veterinarian & she said that it seemed like an epileptic seizure...& in old cats …

Firewood

I got a lot of firewood from my lovely neighbours today, so now I have this huge pile in my garage & a nice & toasty house. 



I take my hat off to him, that has worked a lifetime doing that…chopping down trees, tending to the woodland. Hard work...& think, he’s way over 80 & still does it with a smile. 
Then there’s her, gosh, her kindness radiates. I can’t even explain it, but she somehow teaches me gratitude on a whole different level - & grace. She reminds me that there’s a lot to be thankful for, it’s just a matter of perspective… 



Guess what I’m most thankful for at the moment is that this hollow space in my heart’s slowly being filled again…through kindness & the simple thing of being seen, & opening my own eyes to the little things in life - that actually is life itself.
