Reading: I'm still working on The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien. I only get through about one chapter (if that) each night before my eyelids just will NOT stay open.
Writing: Some emails and thank you notes in addition to this post.
Listening: to silence... just little background noises like the refrigerator hum and the occasional car drive by the house.
Thinking: about my homework for my FPU class in a couple hours. I guess I'd better get crackin' on that!
Smelling: potting soil. It's currently all over our back porch so the scent kind of wafts in through the windows.
Wishing: That tomorrow was another Sunday.
Hoping: to get a chance to talk to a couple friends this week! And also that my cat's lab work comes back with a good report... I had to take her to the vet yesterday and they are doing some (expensive!!!) blood work to check for cancer. :-(
Drinking: water. :)
Loving: warmth!
Wanting: to take a nap this afternoon.
Needing: To decrease my caffeine intake. I think I've reached the point where it isn't doing anything good for me anymore! I should at least take a coffee hiatus.
Feeling: A little down today, actually. It's life.
Clicking: through unread emails and blogs.
Linking up with Lauren today. See all the other Sunday Currently link-ups on her blog.
I love your new blog look! It's really beautiful and clean. I'm sorry to hear you're feeling a little down. Oh man have I been there for the past few weeks. Funks are no fun, and I feel like as women we're prone to getting them every so often, more so than men. (Hormones? I don't know). Anyway, feel better, and also good luck on your caffeine intake! I recently totally switched from coffee to tea and am loving the change. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm really pleased with how it turned out. "Clean" is exactly what I was going for, so I'm glad it met the goal! I think you're right about women being prone to having these low phases perhaps more often than men. I always struggle with just letting myself feel low knowing I'll come out of it without trying to rationalize the low-ness away. (As if that ever works!) ;)
DeleteOh no, I hope that your kitty is okay! Hopefully she is cancer-free. I have a cat, too, and sometimes it's hard not knowing what's wrong when she's sick. :( Fingers crossed for good luck!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I am trying not to worry overmuch about it, but it's kind of hard not to dwell on the possibility. I am SO attached to that little fur ball! Thank you very much for your empathy! :)
DeleteI can't IMAGINE taking a coffee hiatus... but I probably need to cut down :/ fingers crossed and much love for you and your kitty!
ReplyDeleteEvery time I cut coffee, I wind up getting terrible headaches... which demonstrates just how much I depend upon it! It's hard to cut it out when I not only like the energy, but also the flavor. I think a lot of people are that way...
DeleteAnd thank you so much! I still haven't heard anything from the vet. I'm really hoping it's nothing!
I love your blog redesign! It looks great. Also, I've taken a coffee hiatus before, & while it was difficult, it really made my intake more moderate. I usually have one cup each morning now, & before, I was drinking at least three cups a day [wayyyy too much!].
ReplyDeleteI agree! When I was in college I would always take a coffee break when I was on vacation and it frequently shocked me to find out how dependent upon it I had become during the semester... Now, though, life isn't made up of semesters! So it's hard to find the right time to take a step back from it. :)
DeleteAnd thank you! I was getting so annoyed with the constant little tweaks and fixes that my self-made blog design required, that I bit the bullet and got a design by blogmilk that's much more "me" anyway! I'm happy to hear that others like it too!
