Well I had a feeling I would not be able to come around here in a while, and if you were to ask me why...I wouldn´t really know how to answer that question. It is as if there were a time sucking machine somewhere in my little crooked house that is on continously. I wake up making my usual mental list of things that I want to get done, things I need to get done, and things I don´t really want to get done but still need to be done.
I feel ready to take the day, with my coffee in hand as I wait for the sun to rise and the littles as well (I need a few minutes of silence to enjoy my first sips in order to feel energized). However, magically I find myself sitting on the sofa, surrounded by toys, unfolded laundry baskets, and still my unfinished list of things. Where has the time gone? Am I goign to be 60 one day and still think "I really need to organize that closet I´ve been meaning to touch for the past 32 years. Am I the only one that feels this time cruch?
Either way, I was able to get some things done. Like my Christmas card designs, my lovely grey granny bag, a few orders, and several wrist warmers. I just need a bit more time. That would be an excellent stocking stuffer, and extra hour a day when I am not too tired to focus, or too focused on other things.
I was also able to finally pull out our Christmas decorations and decorate the tree. Today was one of those lovely lazy Sundays spent watching movies, drinking warm drinks, and remaining inside. We have had several cold days here in the little village. I have difinitely noticed how even though I have lived here for the past 3 years I am not designed for htis type of weather. MY first clue was when my feet became numb after standing for five minutes otside while volunteering at the Christmas market; or How my skin is so terribly dry and red even after I apply a thick layer of nivea cream for the fifth time in 20 minutes...I could go on and on. Nevertheless, it truly is a beautiful time of year, especially here in this crooked little house. I get to look up at the frosted mountains and contrasting dark brown branches of the trees as I walk through the friendly neighborhood full of Christmas lights, snowmen, and fresh crunchy snow.
Happy 3rd advent to you all.
