i don't dream of emmy's, oscars, golden globes......awards from the CMA's.......not even winning the Pulitzer or Peabody awards......I dream of winning comfy seating for life.  yup, you heard it first here.....i dream of chairs.

i've given thanks for the chair at Thanksgiving.....they think i'm quaint, weird and eccentric.  they don't know the pain of surfaces on the body.  not that i wish that for them, but they don't know.

they don't know why i take off my earrings, my watch, my glasses, my rings at family gatherings, it is not that often that i can make it through a few hours with those items pressed against my skin. 

sitting on a bench leaning on a picnic table the pain takes anywhere from 15 minutes to a half hour and then i have to coax my body to a standing position which also hurts to alleviate the deeper pain from sitting.  and so it goes and goes and goes.

but this morning i was able to do a lot of chores.  so thankful and filled with the goodness of doing.......for my home, for my sweet little nest.  the dishwasher is humming, the laundry is working......trash already at the curb.  fresh kitty litter, water bowls, washed their food mat, the trash can......swept, vacuumed floors and the sofa.  a busy little bee.  remembered to 86 food from the frig.  couldn't find the brush that attaches on the dyson, but finally had one of those light bulb aha moments and went FOUND IT! so happy.......success.  the cat tracking litter mat is resting outside drying in the overcast cool air.  the plants are watered, pulled off any dying or yellowing leaves.  blew off the front and back concrete areas. 

everything is recharging on the kitchen countertops.  funny, wonder what my Grandma would make of that if she came back to earth for a visit.  she wouldn't even know what a leaf blower is or why it needed to be charged.  the pet vacc is charging......the dyson is charging.  thankful for electricity.

time to swap out things in the wash......put the blankets in the   washer.  get 'er done.

this may be of zero interest to anyone, but i've been watching videos that cover cleaning......from deep cleaning to overall general cleaning to cleaning a hoarder space........and it motivates me when i don't wanna do stuff.  sometimes, ok often times i don't have the pep or ability but on the days i do....for that precious block of time i feel accomplished.  productive.  in charge..........lol, as if.  but i do.

progress, keeping Sparrow Cottage nice is a pleasure......time to set new project goals.  keep my mind from going dark during the coming months.  i saw a light being promoted somewhere, one of those light boxes to help stabilize mood during winter months.  it was a much nicer version of the ones i remember.......and it was half off.......think it sold for around $65.  wonder if they really help?  the info provided made it sound like you could be light adjacent and still benefit from it's effects.......it didn't seem as though you had to be sitting right in front of it doing nothing save drinking in the light........not that doing nothing is a bad thing......no clue what my point was or is.......oh well.

it's overcast.....cooler.  dreary but with a few more lights on in the house it feels nice.  i feel safe and secure in my little house.  and that is a good feeling......
