Daily 5 - Year 2, Day 360

Today's Daily 5:

1. the smell of a meadow by my bus stop, after the rain (I think it was clover that smelled so lovely)
2. shared good-natured laughter with strangers on the bus when the ceiling started leaking in the rain above several of us
3. flowing tears, highly therapeutic, even if painful
4. chinese take-out form one of my favorite stalls 
5. a glass of ice wine, the anticipation of a new book to read, and sinking into a chair to watch a little bit of tv and breathe and practice self-care after an exhausting day

(we're getting close to the end of year 2, y'all!  Can you believe it?)

One Day Hiatus

I just now realized that I didn't pre-write and post a You Ask, I Answer post for today.   Whoops!

The day kind of got away with me as I did some cleaning to prepare for my parent's return, and as I spent a chunk of the morning resting, trying to shake off a fairly rough night.  And now I'm running out the door to some appointments.

So... You Ask, I Answer will be back on Tuesday.  A few of you have sent me some new questions to see the series continue, and I'll be tackling those.  In the meantime, if you have more questions, leave them in the comments!  I'd love to get as many as you are willing to leave with me!

See you all tomorrow with something new, and on Tuesday when the one day hiatus of You Ask, I Answer will have ended!

Daily 5 - Year 2, Day 359

Today's Daily 5:

1. Another day of quiet
2. yoga shorts - I bought them to wear under a rather short bridesmaid dress a little over a year ago, and they've been the best thing ever for comfort and the ability to still be appropriately covered up as sleepwear (since, you know, I live with various random relatives including my grandma, parents and a sketchy uncle) during a fairly hot summer
3. a really good, freshly made salad for dinner
4. fresh out of the oven banana chocolate chip muffins
5. having to laugh at a "seriously, seriously" twisted sense of humor moment.
6. a few friends who have cheerleaded and supported me through some really difficult stuff this last year
