Hi my lovely readers.
Today is one of those gloomy days that somehow feels romantic instead of dreary. The sky is gray, the rain is steadily, and the world feels calm and quiet.
I am currently sitting outside on the patio couch writing to you with a warm cup of coffee in my hand and a blanket over my legs. The rain is falling softly and everything around me feels still. It is one of those peaceful moments that makes you slow down whether you meant to or not.
I also officially have a delivery date for the couch and it should arrive next week. Finally. From what I remember it is huge and incredibly comfortable.
More importantly, I am looking forward to napping on it. A proper afternoon nap where you sink into the cushions and wake up feeling like time paused for a little while.
It is Friday, which means my husband should be home soon. I miss that man when he is gone, even if it is only for a short time. Tonight is basketball night in our house, so he picked up wings and that will most likely be our entire evening.
A simple plan, but honestly perfect.
Although I will admit I do not feel like doing much this weekend. My body feels a little heavy and I am slightly concerned I might be getting sick. Hopefully I am just tired, but either way tonight definitely calls for a candlelight bath. Something warm, quiet, and relaxing sounds like the right move.
A quick update about the new friend I mentioned before. She is the sweetest. We have been spending quite a bit of time together lately and it has been really nice. At the same time, I am someone who truly enjoys being alone. Quiet space is how I recharge, so I am learning to balance friendship and time to myself.
Both are important.
On the productive side of life, I pushed back my Depop post again, but I do plan on working on that this weekend. I honestly did not expect it to be so much work. Photographing everything, writing descriptions, organizing piles. It is quite the process.
Still, it needs to happen because the corner of the garage where everything is sitting stresses me out every time I see it. There are also a lot of boxes stacked in the other corner from all the furniture we have gotten recently. At some point my husband will have to load the car and take everything to the dumpster.
A future weekend project.
I have also been thinking a little about the blog schedule. I am considering posting the mini blogs on Tuesdays and possibly turning these Friday check ins into monthly updates instead. I am not completely sure yet though, so I will keep thinking about it for a little before deciding.
For now, I am going to sit here a little longer, finish my coffee, and enjoy the sound of the rain.
So here we are:
One rainy morning that feels strangely romantic.
A quiet patio moment with coffee and a blanket.
A very anticipated couch arriving next week.
Basketball on the television and wings on the table.
A candlelight bath waiting for the evening.
And me somewhere in the middle of it all, cozy, quiet, and easing into the weekend.
