It's Saturday

 I turned off the alarm today and didn't get out of bed until half hour after my usual time. I almost ended up on the sofa again last night. Husband was snoring loudly again. I was so tired I didn't want to move, yet I couldn't get to sleep either. I was just about to get up when I must have nodded off. 

I was debating about whether to go out or not. Husband and I usually take a short 'adventure' in the morning, but as we were away last weekend I told him it was okay, he didn't have to take me out, he could work on his own hobbies. It still looked a bit icy out so I was debating going out or staying in. 

I did end up going out. At least for a bit. It was sunny so that was a plus. It was sort of peaceful being out by myself. I didn't take a lot of photos. I did try some more ICM (intentional camera movement) and just faffing around. 

These are a couple of the phone photos I took







This is one of the ICM photos I took. I hesitate to share these. They aren't traditional, but I really like the way they turn out - a little like a painting, a little dreamy.




When I got home I wasn't too productive. The sun coming in the living room this afternoon was lovely so I took some time to do a little cross stitching. It's coming along. The highlighter I got at the Dollar Tree - green one - seems to be working better than the yellow one. I can tell which stitches I've done!



Tomorrow we are off out for an adventure. It's going to be quite warm - 50F/10C! That's positively warm. I'm sure there will be people out in shorts ha ha. 

Back tomorrow!

  1. I'm glad you were able to go out for a bit, today and there was sunshine. I really like the first photo of the trees reflected in the water. Enjoy your adventure, tomorrow. :)

  2. That's really mild, more or less the same as here. Spring is springing, isn't it?
    I like the movement photo, xx

    1. The weather has been crazy - up and down - freezing one day, quite warm the next. My body hates it, but I like the sunshine!

  3. The ICM makes me think of rain on a window and I think is quite beautiful. I love seeing your pics.

    Sometimes I think that productive is as productive does. You can fret yourself into exhaustion about thinking what you ought to be doing because you are overwhelmed. I feel sometimes that worrying about what I ought to do doesn't help. Sending hugs.

    (looking forward to seeing the result of the cross stitch)

    1. Thanks for the support with the photos.

      I seem to worry or am anxious most of the time. Not sure if it's the new normal for me or part of the menopause. Either way I hate it. I'm either worried all the time or bursting into tears!

  4. Oh how I smiled at the thought of your snoring husband. It's torture isn't it. I feel your pain. X

    1. Sometimes I don't even want to go to bed as I can hear him snoring over the television.
