Candles on a Whim

Squishy heart. Nose is numb. Some blurry vision/visual disturbances. A little short of breath.

I have set up my spot on the couch with all my necessities: giant glass of water. salt shaker. shimmery lip balm (what? I can look fabulous while I feel crummy!). hand cream. tiger balm. ibuprofen. phone. laptop. remotes for TV and roku. pillows. blankets. kleenex. journal. extra socks. sometimes the cat. but usually not the cat. meow.

I rested up to get my hair cut this afternoon. Went next door to Pier 1, mostly for the sparkle, free smells, and the promise of some more human interaction. Strolling through the store I was confronted by this mug. A mugshot!

I felt personally attacked. (haha). Then I realized how exhausted I was and came home and crashed on the couch. Ate dinner. Did homework. Inspired by my earlier adventure, I reorganized my candle collection into highly specific categories like "Trees"... "Reminiscent of a Body of Water"... and of course "Desserts I Can't Actually Eat But Nevertheless Seek To Enjoy, Dammit!"

Hope you find something today to make you laugh.

  1. Hey Emma, So sorry your POTS had flared up so fiercely. Fingers crossed this is the last gasp. Meanwhile I am glad you are blogging again. You are a good writer, and I have missed seeing your posts. Love, Toni
