Being at my parents house provided me with a lot of time to think, and not much to do … so here’s what been on my mind the past few weeks:
- I want to complete the switch to non-toxic cleaners in our house by the end of January (well actually I already got rid of the toxic stuff a while ago but I do feel like there are some gaps in my home concocted supply cabinet (particularly I need to make more solutions for cleaning wood and a new laundry detergent).
- I still owe a handful of people pen pal mail/and packages … in this particular case I feel that my hyper-perfectionism as it relates to gift giving gets in my way. I write letters and immediately crumple them up because the lettering looks inconsistent or what have you. I need to get past this if I’m ever going to reach my goal of sending 100 letters in this next year.
- I want to spend all summer at the ocean. Well I can’t because I have work Monday through Thursday. But long weekends, lots of long weekends in the woods and at the oceans.
- I’m starting a winter “feel good” regimen. Lots of long baths with Epsom salts, sitting under the UV light, and St. Johns Wart. Plus lots of immune boosting green tea and pickled or grilled garlic.
- Also pickles, I want to eat and make all the pickles!
- Streamlining my Etsy, inventory, and studio space. It’s all a bit disorganized after the chaos of the holidays and I need to recover from that.
- I need a mushroom hunting buddy somewhere in PA, Justin hates mushrooms but they might be my favorite food group. Now accepting applications.
