25 days to my birthday

on a trip, Luray VA!

Greetings Thinkers,

Waking up in a round house. But is it a wake up if you did not sleep?!

Last night was rough.

Have you ever been to a place that is SO THICK with air freshener and fabric softener, you feel you are SWIMMING IN IT? Drinking it, surrounded by it, swimming in it.

For a person who is sensitive to smell, this can be a real nightmare.

It hit us in the face as soon as we walked in. That kind of place. It proceeded to bother me but nothing like what it was like to swim in it. The bed. The covers. Swimming in it. My throat and nose thick with Ultra Downy vanilla bean or whatever the puke it was! Awful! I tried everything. Wrapped my clothes over my pillow but that couldn't help because all the blankets were drenched in it... It's in my throat, it's in my hair, it's on my clothes. I couldn't sleep.

When it started to rain, I wasn't asleep. I didn't recognize the sound right away. I don't know what material the roof is - but it was all "rain on the roof sound" and lovely once I understood that is what the sound was! And not pebbles flying at the house or some appliance failing with a long rattle.

Then I started to think about my windows being down. I'm pretty sure I didn't put them up in the excitement of getting here and assumed I'd go back to the car to do those things and lock up.The windows in Fancy, I didn't remember putting them up, so they were probably down.

It was dark, a strange place, I wasn't even sure where I left the key. Oh, it has automatic start, but I also don't have myself programmed to know how to use that. Can you roll up windows from automatic start? I don't know. So I laid there in clouds of nauseating fabric softener and listened to the rain that could have been lovely but I was only stressed thinking about how much water was getting inside Fancy. And that my wallet was sitting on the front seat.

awful awful awful.

it might sound like I'm having a bad trip

but I'm not. I came here for the company and the company is great. The round house is cool too despite a short list of things I'm going to let the hosts know about like how the heck there are no measuring spoons or cups in the drawers and a weird water stain on the curtain that was pretty off-putting and first thing I noticed walking in , after the smell. And some mouse droppings in the pan in the drawer of the stove. I mean, there are mouse droppings in the pan in the drawer of my stove too, but I'm not renting my house out at hundreds of dollars a night and putting out a strong "no dogs on any furniture" policy.

Today I will try to clear my throat of the artificial smell for long enough that I will get rid of this headache that's going on long. Wrote this first thing so I can be with my friend asap.

Things you could know about me:

order: newest adds at the top, older things at the bottom

vague. I don't like vague. don't be vague with me, I won't be vague with you. at least not on purpose.

defines WEIGHT as: the quality of the quantity of matter you are carrying

I like to antagonize common sayings and typical perspectives

Everything is a choice and authenticity is supreme.

Reflecting on my life whether it's looking back at the last month or doing a "this time last year" thing, shorter or longer time frames, doing this at all is a reflection of who I am. That I care to consider who I am, who I have been, what I have done, so that I may use all of that to inform what I do and who I am in the present and the future. That I reflect is a reflection of who I am.

running with turtles

I know, I'm a horror to say anything to some times..

when all my identities are umbrellas

I love a good double negative!

Plan in quotes because I'm so averse to "plans" and "goals".

I chunk out my days, to the minute, in Gcal.

I love to putter so if it becomes "I puttered my life away" so be it.

I'm not a cherry picker, of anything. I like to use things that exist rather than start from new or scratch.

I am an ostrich about politics, news, current events, pop culture and media.

I dislike clichés and most positive quotes, under thought things meant well, commonly said quotes and phrases.

Don't tell me what to do, don't ask me "how how are you?" or say "I'm sorry for your loss" unless you want to annoy me or you really, really mean it. And know it can be hard to tell which it is, and I'm wrong not infrequently.

30 Day Challenges are my thing. I have a tendency to make things every day things. This is where 30 Day Challenges come from!

Like yourself. Know yourself. Express that self.
Think about things. Don't feel like you have to dance in the rain to have a good life.
Don't have a plan. Stand for what matters. Read when you want to. Don't smile when people tell you to.
Don't have goal. Tend plants. Leave marks. Do what you say. Change YOUR world. And your mind!
Be a friend and a daughter and a partner and a sister and a dog mom.
In a world full of "accept who you are" messages, don't forget to be a "work on that" kind of person.
Don't put kindness above truth. Try new things. Be honest. Live by ideals. Have some whimsy.
What you do for money matters; strive to like what you do for money. (job)
If you have a hobby you need a life.
Use what attracts you and let what you care about matter!

Peepers are my favorite sound.

Triangles are my favorite shape.

54 is my number.

I never need to talk but thank you for offering to listen.

If you say I'm overthinking it, I'll probably say you are underthinkig it.

why I do what I do: I want to "make you" THINK. I don't mind if your experience and perception of me "makes you" be more mindful, use your brain more, "think too much" or consider something more carefully, or differently, or moves you to be (more) thoughtful or intentional or authentic.

I am a hugger and I mean my hugs.

I don't like to have scheduled things. The days where I have something scheduled are a certain category of feeling. I'm not very fond of pre sign ups, committing to things in advance externally. My favorite days are the ones I call "blank slate days". Nothing scheduled, nothing formally EXTERNALLY committed (I am full of internal commitment and ideas all the time, so no day is truly uncommitted).

use the moons

I love rules and I am a ruler follower.

I like a cup to fill.

So which is it Kym. Do you like wide open clean slate no commitment things?
Or you "need" want and thrive in containers, defined spaces, rules and limits?

Geez what a walking contradiction. A biggest when to which Witch!?

SOC life - what you allow in, turns into what you spend your time on. Can you see it?

Tomb raider hot is my favorite kind of girl hot, my favorite hot to be.
