checking in, is the world still here?

bacon sizzling in the pan.........smells good!  good morning to you!

been in bed actively crashing......actively crashing sounds like an oxymoron or something, but crashing takes a lot out of a person........!

at the end of last week i drug the wicker stuf closer to the garden hose and got busy washing the pieces down.  so much dirt, go water hose go!  the pads need a lot more than just water, bruce was s'posed to come by and pressure wash 'em, but so far not yet.  plan to paint then give these pieces to sara for her backyard firepit.  yeah, i gave her my firepit too.......for fun and games at sara's place. 

i'm keeping one chair and one end table from the original set, which gives her a loveseat, two rockers and a coffee table.  the coffee table makes an excellent bench seat for two if you add a cushion.  right now i'm researching how to paint outdoor cushions with a variety of spray paints.  the one i like so far is typically used for vehicles......it's got some sort of flexible quality built into the paint so that things like interior car carpeting/cushion fabric won't get stiff........very interesting.  I saw a couple redo 8 outdoor cushions for under $20.00.  If it works that would be amazing...Sara wants the wicker painted a bright clean classic white and the cushions to be a pretty navy.  I'm working on it........the rain keeps me from overdoing it presently and the crash stands on top of me when i dream of getting outside to work on it.  it's gonna be a big job for me, maybe i can get sara to help me do some of it???

time to check the bacon.....one moment please........burned the bacon up.  rats.

so no bacon today......just wrecked bacon scent........so not a snuggle fabric softener moment.  blurghhhhh.  need febreze asap.....

moving on......been lying in bed waiting for that moment when i can get up and do more.  not sure if that's later today or ????

finally the sun has come out.......so pretty, raindrops cling to the plants.  praying that the sweet pea seeds come to life......c'mon babies, you CAN DO IT!  boy does the yard need a good mow!

in my head i see myself in the garage tidying up, cleaning off storage shelving.......with panache, sweat and rags.  it will happen.  gotta dream it to believe it to see it happen.  all these words tumble through my brain and i think of how much i struggle to pass blender brain........pass it, keep the thoughts intact and the impossible dream of getting those phrases/words on paper.....they come so clearly and then dissipate into the mist just like that.  sad really.

we're gonna climb those stairs

we're gonna make that climb....nobody stopping us.......we're higher than high.

we are flyinnnnnnng.  flying through the stratosphere.......no more sighing, who we are truly seen, now revealed.

stronger than strong, wiser than wise......got what it takes......to get to the other side.

and that side is now, that side is real......we are beautiful, don't count us as gone

see us........open the curtains and see us........standing tall in our beds, standing tall in our lives.........

more patience than anyone can know.......we're part of a tribel

our people are climbing up those stairs

we're making that climb......

we are flyinnnnnnng.  flying through the stratosphere.......no more sighing, who we are truly seen, now revealed.

stronger than strong, wiser than wise......got what it takes......to get to the other side.

.....cleaned up the kitchen, gold star for me!  still smelling the bacon wreck, whooooopsie seriously daisy!

........dreaming of hot fudge over vanilla bean ice cream and a nice long nap.  silly and sleepy, wishing and wondering how you are this day!!!!!!!!!!!!
