I AM CURRENTLY | July 2021
EXHALING with the realization that I’m now officially a resident of Southampton. The first night in my home with all of my furniture in place was such a relief. I cried tears of joy and exhaustion.
MOVING can be a logistical nightmare with furniture and boxes going to three different destinations. Good thing I like this kind of puzzle.
UNPACKING so many boxes. One thing I realized is that even though I reduced my wardrobe by half before the first move in January, I can easily do it again! Though I have plenty of space, I still have far too many clothes and shoes. (Same goes for the books!)
LISTENING to the gas guys install appliances in the kitchen. Bang. Bang. Bang. Nothing can be turned on, yet. We continue to wait for the commercial gas line to be hooked up to the house. As much as I anticipate my own cooking, I have to wait a bit longer.
SWATTING houseflies. I swear the entire population of houseflies for Bruce County have taken up residence in the house! There was no choice but to leave the front door open all day yesterday for the movers. The flies can’t live forever, can they?
WAITING with excitement the third season of Discovery of Witches. I watched Season 2 in two days! So good.
UPDATING all of my electronics to read Southampton as home. Nice to get the proper weather even if it is calling for rain.
ARRANGING care for the pups when I go in for surgery on the 27th. Chloé is going to come up with her new pup, Hank and hang out with Tucker and Finn. Then stay for a couple of days for the semi-annual take care of mama after summer surgery.
ENJOYING the choice of leopard print area rug in the great room - a super playful choice. It really pulled everything together and is fun. There is no more room in my life for conforming to the norms of others. I’m having fun on my own terms!
CLEARING the energy of all the trades and bodies that have been in and out of the new house over the past six months. Refreshing and balancing any negative vibes. The easiest way to do that? Salt.
CREATING a whole new look and feel to the website! SquareSpace has been so much fun to explore. I have so many things to look forward to! Check it out … especially the Count Me In options. I’m inviting in all of the things that make me happy in this new life - photography, writing and woo!
THANKING my lucky stars to be surrounded by so many terrifically good people. I have been welcomed into the Greenwood and James families. I’m so grateful to be part of the mix!
What about you? How are things in your world these days?
