2024: week 41.
monday, october 7.
i’ve gotten back into the habit of writing things i want to remember in sharpie.
some significant shifts have happened recently that have felt like nudges from god that the way it has been is not the way it will be. primarily because the way it has been is not a way that exists anymore. for example, the main road i have driven hundreds of times to visit my family in charlotte is literally not there anymore. (thanks, helene.)
it reminds me of psalm 16:6. “the boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places.” it feels like new boundary lines are being drawn, forcing me into new and unfamiliar (but good) territory.
tuesday, october 8.
i had to look back on my calendar to remember what happened this day. i worked from switchyards and officially signed up for health insurance like the true self-employed person i am. i went to church, of course, but i don’t remember much else from the day.
wednesday, october 9.
the process of making a calendar involved going back through files (and files) of papers with sharpie on them. for inspiration, but also because almost half of the months use lettering i’d already created.
you know how many times i’ve seen these boxes of fall outside the grocery store in the past few weeks? this time i realized my name was right there in huge letters.
thursday, october 10.
more findings.
it’s really happening, y’all. there are months and everything.
friday, october 11.
sj and i coworked for a bit before walking to this sweet shop to get fresh sourdough. i’m honestly just posting this photo here for my future self who might not remember the name of this place.
saturday, october 12.
i slept in, spent lots of time with jesus, did some cleaning, and went to bed early. solid saturday.
sunday, october 13.
i spent the afternoon on a boat with sj and some (new) friends. we surfed, we swam, we ate chips while we sorted through an assortment of finds from sj’s mary poppins bag. such a beautiful day, and a great way to spend probably the last bit of 80s we’ll see until next summer.
