Eating Bonbons

There must be a knack to successfully become a woman of leisure. I did not do it well, although I gave it my best shot. Now, there were stretches of time I do not recall, but I attribute that to codeine and not being able to eat solid food for a few days.

.

I learned that I am a much better care taker than receiver. But I could see that my hubby was trying so hard to make the pain go away that I just gave in. It really was sweet. And while he did manage to sneak off for a few bike rides, he set up the "father's day" chair on the patio to make me comfy first.

.

He went to the book store and bought me Seth Godin's "Linchpin" as well as Atomic Ranch. We live in a craftsman bungalow, but every so often we talk about living in a Populuxe style ranch home. This is the magazine to foster those dreams.

.

I took a few days off from work. I took one whole day off from even thinking about work. I cannot remember how many years ago I did that, but I am going to do it again. Some day.

.

When I started to feel better, I begin to write. So many ideas swirled in my head, I didn't know where to begin. It used to drive me crazy that I'd have so many little lines on my bench, half started. Now, I am thinking of them as pieces of the whole. Some will make it, some won't. I've been thinking about different lines on etsy and my website.

.

But for now, I am grateful to be back at work, music in the background, work in progress at the bench. I'm a little behind with two projects promised for the end of the month, but I'll catch up.

.

And no, I never did get to eat a bonbon, I'm going to try and keep the teeth I have.

.

Thanks for all your good wishes my friends,
