vilhem hammershoi, womanly figure

sick today. i feel the weight of being slow. my mind is full of ideas, but i am so tired. i am a turtle. on the couch with quilts and tomato soup with homemade bread with dill and olive oil, watching walk the line (baby, baby, baby, baby, baby).

i am torn between wanting to squirrel my money under the mattress and spending it all on whims. yarn, vintage beads, craving spring clothes, that seamripper fox pouch which is gone, gone, gone already, and so many other delights.

ben is worried about me. he is my E.T. when i am sick, he is too.

p.s. yesterday i got this on my way to the post office. it is sooo good. it makes me happy.

yes, i feel better today. sometimes you just have to listen to your body and let yourself rest, even when your mind is restless.
