my room is where i am able to escape the chaos of a house full of 30 strangers or snuggle up for a day if the house is empty. i've been working slowly to make it my own with the few things i brought along... and am feeling pretty settled in.
the door in the photos leads to my bathroom. the door that enters my room opens into the office. on most days, i set my alarm and get out of bed on my own; however, some days, after hitting snooze a few times, brian's voice on the phone or greeting guests draws me out of bed.. reminding me of the place that i'm living and what the day holds.
the chalkboard wall art has been completed by paige, audie, and rosie, quoting dave matthews band with original illustrations. my clothes, shoes, and storage all fit in the closets and my books and scrabble game sit right on top. i make most of my calls from the chair and after long days and hard runs i stretch out my yoga mat right in front of it.
it's hilariously ironic that now that i am living without anyone to share a bed with within 500 miles, i have returned to a double bed. i have trained myself to sleep right in the middle, using all six pillows. regardless, get your visiting asses out here and share my bed!
it's getting colder here and crunchy leaves are hitting the ground. driving today, i kept my windows closed and noticed the 1/3 red, 1/3 yellow, 1/3 green trees. it was a hard weekend for no particular reason and i'm very glad it's a new week. i officially start my other job tomorrow as a standardized patient at the osteopathic medical school in lewisburg. my first act is for the ob lab, meaning i get to have lots of babies tomorrow. i'll be sure to report on the experience soon. new experiences just don't stop showing up around here.
miss and love.
Ahhh, tried this last night and then lost every single word I had written.
ReplyDeleteWas so glad to see your room and all of the upgrades! Haaaa! Love the photo montage and the new table. Looks like you have fresh flowers on your new reclaimed table. That is perfect there. I can't wait to see it in person in a couple of short weeks. I am so anxious to head east on 64 and spend a few days with you. Am hoping that it will be full blown fall when I make the trip. Miss you bunches.
Hope you are ready for a good weekend. Know today was grocery day and tomorrow is pasta day. Guess you are getting ready for your guests! I am always so proud to tell people what you are doing... I would be proud even if you weren't there, building community, but just today one of my students looked at my photo mobile above my desk and asked about you. She thought that was a pretty cool thing to be doing with your time! God bless you. Happy weekend. See you soon! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxooxoxoxooxoxoxoxooxoxoxo
Hey, can we play Scrabble when I come? (Too bad for you, Shooter!)
