Here’s what this past week looked like- My Everyday Life – Week 49
This week all of my energy went into working on my mom’s obituary and the service for her.
I wore pantyhose at her service and everyone gave me a hard time.
I really should have worn my trusty overalls.
When you’re in an elevator in the city that has a chaise lounge in it, you gotta pose.
He’s also wearing my socks. HA
Self-timer family shot! It was fun to seeing the trees with my boys.
We tried to get a jumping shot.
I have been through so many tunnels in the last few weeks. Back and forth between Marin and San Francisco. A lot more motion than I am used to. I’ve been enjoying being driven around though. My daydreaming brain is satisfied. Thank you, husband.
Traffic on Stockton.
A church with a sense of humor.
This week Joy came to visit to be there for me & my family.
I am so grateful for that. She made me a gorgeous paper flower magnolia.
So inspiring!!!!
My dining room table is making me happy right now.
Being around a lot of people at the funeral and dealing with a lot of different emotions at once was very hard for my introvert brain. I am so thankful for my family though. We have all been working really hard to be there for each other and I know that would please my Mom.
I’ve been in self-care mode this weekend.
I got to go on a few introvert/maj adventures!
It was so good to laugh again.
We checked out Aftelier in Berkeley. It’s a scent museum!
It’s right behind Chez Panisse. That’s the big tree in the front of the restaurant.
My house used to look like this. I wonder if I can have roses climbing up it…..
First rule of Maj Club.
Inspiration in old books.
It’s written in stars.
Drawers that lead your brain back to old memories.
This one was particularly good.
Life goes on. Relics from the past remind us that.
Time capsule goodness.
I got to show her my favorite ring of magnolia trees in Marin.
THANKFUL for that.
Joy took me up to Petaluma for yin yoga & an amazing lunch at our friend Annie’s restaurant- Topsy’s.
Berkeley adventure!
Tiny.
Out to dinner with family. No screens at the table. Drawing is encouraged. Especially if the table has a paper tabletop. I showed Cooper the cats in nativity scene link from my list this week and he was obsessed. He drew a cat in a manger. Haha.
The buck is back.
Sweet friends who leave cookies on doorsteps.
Chicken lunch with my brother & sis.
What everyone keeps telling me.
I saw it at Target….
Another good one.
My friend Caley invited us over to decorate gingerbread houses.
It was so good to see Cooper so happy.
Picking out cards for my sister-in-law. I’m sure this one would have been a favorite of my mom’s.
LOLZ at the Thrift store.
The flowers I’ve received have been making my house smell amazing.
The cards in my P.O. Box are giving me life.
(p.o. box 604 san anselmo, ca 94979)
Going through some pictures this week. My mom had them ALLLLL over the house. A good reminder to spend time gathering your photos & organizing them! I found this one of me in Kindergarten.
That rainbow was soooooooo rad.
Ella being weird.
My niece Abby drew me a peacock and it’s been on my fridge for months.
It makes me so happy.
I took a detour this week. It felt like my mom was with me.
