Routine

I have been meaning to mention that my favorite author has written a new book. I keep putting it down to try to savor it a little longer. It's called Great House by Nicole Krauss. I wish I could send copies to everyone I know. Nicole did an interview that I really like, can be found here. Every single line is good. Another book I can't wait to read is Let the Great World Spin.

I have gotten in to a little routine when I come home for work. I water the mum on our front porch and check for the mail, which is never there at 530 but I always check. I light a candle and try to pick up a little bit. Last nite I organized for a bit, which I had been wanting to do forever. While in the kitchen, I felt at peace. I felt like I could breathe again peacefully after a rough few weeks. Our little house has become this amazing project for me. I can't imagine not living in it, doing the little things that mean so much to me for some reason.

While cleaning my grandpa's apartment, someone found a VHS with my name on it. I couldn't wait to get back home to see what was on it. Maybe a dance recital? Or a cute video of me as a little kid? Tout au contraire. It was an episode of Real World Hawaii. Made me laugh for a while.

I have been jotting down little notes in my journal about ideas for next year. Lovin it.
