Something Extra for June
My first post was published in June 2007, almost a year ago. I have a little sidebar widget over there –> that says right now that I have 13 days left until my blogoversary (c’mon, that’s not a word, is it?).
Anywho, it took me three days to decide, but in the end I wanted to do something special to mark my blogging anniversary month because my blog has been an unexpectedly influential force in my life for the last year. So I’ve decided to participate in NaBloPoMo(Fo) again for June. In case you were unaware, the organizers decided to continue the monthly blogging sprees with new themes for each month.
Home …
June’s theme is Home, so at the very least, each day I’m going to say something about some concept of what home means to me, from the simplest “home is … ” to the more absurd things I can contemplate.
Today’s concept of home, to coincide with that picture of my couch, is sanctuary. What you see in the picture is one thing that my home crafting exploits means to me, and that’s retreat and respite. I had a really stressful month of May, and coming home to that pile of yarn and books and my crochet hook was very therapeutic and necessary for me. I can get lost in the repetitive motion of the hook, and take comfort in my messy piece of couch and forget all the stress of the day.
Today is another example of how home is a sanctuary. I had a lot of nasty dental work done today, and I was not feeling very well by the time I got home. Frankly, I don’t know who’s writing this post, as I’m in medication la-la-land. I was so incredibly happy to get home and find my couch corner, a book and a blanket. I should also mention that it’s days like today I remember why my husband is so completely awesome, because he was absolutely the epitome of good husband-ness today, and even managed to make me feel like I wasn’t quite as pathetic as I looked.
See you tomorrow
