i've been just hanging around the house a lot lately. i am now well into my second cold in the last few weeks, feeling a bit run down. it's been rainy, windy, with days of gray skies. i could live in this weather forever.
i stretched a new canvas for the living room. olivia and i are heading to the studio to paint today. there is nothing i love more than the possibilities of a new piece.
my husband's been out of town, and in the midst of a cold and solo parenting, i am hosting a dinner for twelve women tomorrow night. i think i am making this or this. looking forward to setting the table, fixing a meal, and the wonderful night of conversation that will ensue.
the week feels slow and sometimes being sick feels right. how's your week? what are you up to?
sorry you're not well! bummed to miss tomorrow but I know it will be a wonderful introduction for all. I've never made those soups but I make her big tofu noodle pot at least once a month. She has such a gift for nourishing, delicious food.
ReplyDeletewe missed you. we need to catch up maybe this weekend. I made the lentil soup and it was delicious.
Deletethere is nothing i miss more than san diego weather. it is my ideal. i lived there in the early nineties and it's a place i will hold dear to my heart always. i too have been spending a lot of time at home. it finally feels good to do so since renting this bigger home after living in a small 1 bedroom apartment for so long.
ReplyDeletei look forward to seeing your new painting. i think it's time for me to start painting myself.
get better soon and enjoy your big dinner. sounds lovely.
san diego is great. i see you live in florida now, which i imagine is even sunnier than san diego. i feel like i would do well in a place like portland. i crave cloudy days, i find they fit my mood. but truly san diego spring, late fall and winter are hard to beat. will show my latest paintings soon! xx
Deletefunny, i crave cloudy days but i think because i crave change from all the 360 sunny days. i think after a while portland would be too much rain. miami is way too hot and way too sunny for me most of the time but somehow we have made a life for us here. happy friday!
