an empty dreamcatcher

[liminal_space]

i'm tired today, my head muffled and body sluggish. there is a distinct possibility i'll take a nap later, after pretending i'm going to lie down "just to rest my eyes." honestly, i don't know why i don't just let the truth unfold — there's no one here to judge me except the dogs and cats, and they'd relish a mid afternoon siesta — but old habits die hard.

there were so many plans to DO things while the family is gone, but i can sadly admit that very little got done. while i accomplished so much when they were gone last time, this time i am having trouble mustering the energy. mister thinks i'm stressed (i've mentioned this recently) and today, in the quiet solitude of the house, i can admit that it's absolutely the truth. 

all the stuff with his job change, the move, the issues kid is having, the horse issues i've gone through, missing our old barn and my friend there, etc etc etc...all have turned me into a quivering, high strung poodle-chihuahua mix. :)

house stuff seems to be great — all things considered — so we're moving forward. kid has been having a blast in nature, has multiple mosquito bites, and found two ticks on her. FYI, WI generally has 30x more cases of lyme disease than CA. *sigh*

but this view — just around the corner from the house — makes it worth it:

that's the lake in the distance!

i think i'm going to try to do some tidying up before i rest my eyes. ;)

We all need some downtime, every now and again. :-)

As I write this, Seth is napping and so is Dobby, our dog. Even though I'm wide awake, the moment of peace still feels like a treasure. I hope you get to relax today. The plans will still be there tomorrow.
