on the ottoman

picking colors. for a table in the center hallway (I have a thing for yellow these days - inspired from a vase that belonged to my mom). for the master bedroom. for the den. fun. agonizing (the table color is perplexing me). satisfying.

I've been in a bit of a frump the past few days. a little sad. weary. perhaps overwhelmed. last night I got a phone call that, when the conversation was done, I took two aspirin and went to bed. oh me. oh my. life does have its ups. downs.

I think the biggest issue is that life is usually. most consistently. up. very grateful for that. I guess when that is the biggest issue (I'm not complaining. sometimes it just feels good to say it out loud) - life is good. and it is.

the week will have a happy ending. headed to LA to see the babies. ages ranging from 1 - 31. definitely. definitely. an up.
