I’m sitting up in my bed with my bedside table light on, yellow light on low, of course. I honestly may turn that light off and just write by the light of my cute little night light I got for Christmas. It’s called a Switchable and I got a little heart stained glass piece as my first one. It’s really cute.
Okay, I’m back. I turned off my lamp, turned on my cute night light, and lit a huge pillar candle on my bedside table so I don’t knock anything over. I can’t see very well in the dark.
Anyway, I would like to say if you ever find yourself in Jacksonville, Alabama and you like Pho, KT Pho is really good. It seems like a random thought I know, but I was thinking about what was in my fridge, okay?
Today I went through so many clothes to keep or donate. Showed the house like a realtor because some people just showed up, donated some books to Recollected Books, I love that place and have found absolute gems of books in there as well as topics I didn’t know I was interested in. They also have a cat. It’s my dream job right now. Very low maintenance, Read daily, Quiet. That sounds so nice, honestly.
I brought all my favorite coffee cups over to the apartment today. But two of them broke. My Alabama Agriculture mugs entire handle broke off. My glass flower mug from the Dollar General suffered the same fate, I’m afraid. However, all the other ones have now made it into the dishwasher. Hopefully they all come out in the same way they went in.
I’ll be so glad whenever I’m done moving, but if i’m being honest I haven’t felt like I was “home” in years. I just live places for a while, then move. This apartment isn’t my “forever home”
I said that to my Mom today on the phone. “When I get to my forever home” Honestly, I am so excited for if that day does come where I finally can live the dream of living in my own home again and making things my own. Baking again. Baking in this apartment is awful. Very little counter space, The sink hose doesn’t work, I could go on and on about this apartment for real..but it’s home for now.
My neighbor is actually moving later this year, and I will miss him. But on a complete sidenote lets go back to the night light from earlier.
I’m gonna make a list of the Switchable’s that I found on their website that I like.
- This Avocado one is so cute.
- OMG! A Betty Boop one!
- I want another nightlight so I can hang this one in my kitchen.
- Love the book, but I wish it didn’t say that on the front (just my honest opinion)
- I am in love. It’s a cauldron.
- A LEMON
The more I scroll through this website, the more I feel very very old. But honestly, one this I have learned here with my time on earth specifically about decorating where I live. Clean, but lived in. Blankets and pillows..a lot of em. Candles and Incense, Lamps..and to lean right off of lamps we now have added stained glass night lights to the list. I love ambient lighting. I hate the big light. These are cute and there are stakes you can put in the ground to hang them on,. I’m a fan of these lil night lights, for real. I need like $300 to spend on stained glass night lights real quick… Shhh …
For real though I just went to close the tab and thought “Oh, i’ll just scroll one time” and ARE YOU KIDDING ME? A MONSTERA LEAF ONE? That is so cute oh my goodness. (I think I should write up a Last Will & Testament, unrelated)
I’ve been writing for a lot longer than I have yet with this page. My goal with my writing is to become more fluid. I used to write all the time.. Creative writing. Writing entire scripts for plays. Stories, like short stories. I really enjoyed that and would love to get back to a place where my mind can wander like that and create beautiful or scary stories. I’ve personally been through a lot since the last time I wrote anything creative so I don’t know that it wouldn’t be. My guess is if that was the case, there would be sprinkles of dark humor in there.
Anyway, I think I’m gonna call it on writing..at least on here for tonight. I may write in my physical journal but I think I’m going to read a little bit of The Madness Of Nero again tonight. I did get three new books at the book store today and one of them is a collection of essays. I’d like to go back to the bookstore and just vibe in there one day. It’s a cozy tight fit type book store. I’ve never made it all the way to every part, I don’t think, because I almost always get sucked into African American studies or Pre Colonial American history. There is a lot I could say about both of the subjects, and will, at a later date but I am very pleased with my Fredrick Douglas books I got today and it’s on a shelf next to my Bell Hook’s books.
Thank you, and Goodnight! (in Mark Normands voice)
