No Doi

Yesterday, I didn’t get out of bed. Or eat or drink anything at all.

In a world of pressing serious issues and tons of good causes to get behind because they need more attention than they’re getting, mental health is no joke. Nor is it a sin or a sign of weak character. There are lots of ways it can be treated. Ask for help and find the combo that works more often than not. Be kind to yourself.

(This reminder was for me more than anyone else.)

Today, I came across these tiny glass friends. (That’s a dime, by the way.)

My best guess is that this is a tiny glass rhino. Because, yes.

He needed a friend, so naturally I thought of the rooster.

Today, I woke up earlier than I have in awhile. It wasn’t exactly sunrise, but it sorta felt like it.

I got to take a yoga class this morning. Usually, I’m the one leading the yoga class, so this was a nice change.

I know, I know. Another picture of the afternoon sky. But soon the sky will be overcast with thick, heavy, gray clouds for months on end. I’ll need these pics to remember it by.

Tonight, I helped celebrate at a friend’s wedding shower. There was headgear.

Today was not very photogenic. There was a lot of blue sky though.

And a couple of cups of tea. Straight-up chamomile on the left; lemongrass chamomile on the right.

Today, my mom and I raided every possible shop in a tiny little town nearby. My favorite was this crazy antique shop with millions of creepy, nutso things to oogle.

Had we fallen asleep in this shop, this guy would have made sure we never woke up.

Colorful baubles.

Craheepy.

Pretty sure his name is Roscoe.

Nooks, crannies, corners, and hallways.

Lovely cabinet.

Someday, I think I will collect globes.

I’m a fan of this fan.

The whole was greater than the sum of its parts.

There’s one of these in EVERY antique shop in central Ohio.

I’m not sure I’ll sleep tonight.

Then, we found some more traditonal shops where I ran into a friend and took home a twisty necklace/bracelet and a pashmina.

Today, I saw the president. As in THE President. OF THE UNITED STATES.

There was a lot of standing in line.

The Ft. Hayes campus is beautiful.

This distinguished lady wins best dressed.

The local news celebrities turned up.

There was a VIP section for those that looked particularly midwestern.

And finally, POTUS!

Oh, and snipper-guys!

Today was another day of books and computers. However, the bird atop this pole made so much noise that I got up from my chair to see what all the ruckus was for. My husband watches this murder mystery where the impending death of a character is foreshadowed by the squawks of a large bird. As far as I know, the neighbors are okay.

And in honor of all the work accomplished today, may I present to you may favorite pen.

Orange you surprised?!

Today, I wore my new necklace.

I went for a run today at a different park.

View of the bridge.

View from the bridge.

Hey, look! Some creepy trees!

This looks like a nice calm path. And also the beginning of a horror film or French thriller.

Pond scuzz smells terrible.

Today, was beautiful and sunny.

I went for a run a few times around this tiny lake.

I loved this bonsai eggplant.

An envelope with my name on it was waiting in my mailbox. Inside the envelope was a little box.

Little boxes are good.

Today, there was a wedding! It was held here.

We spiffed up for the occasion.

There were groomsmen.

And vows.

And mingling.

And friends.

And food.

And favors, because it was a party.

Congrats and much love to the new Mr. & Mrs!
