five things this week

one. I started a new book. appropriately enough for the season. A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness. young adult fiction. a worthy genre.

two. I planted my concrete mushrooms. several. of which. happily made by me. with my girl tribe. I. love. concrete.

three. I savored watching the hubs. watch his team in the World Series. he's like a kid. over the moon. excited.

four. I went out. with the tribe. delightful. chatty. relaxing. happy hours. and made plans to do it again. and again.

five. I had my eyes opened. I was stuck between. hoping. and letting go. today. I lost that last bit of hope.

'so this is my life. and I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be.'
