Tuesday

Here's a shout-out to my awesome cousins! I love you guys, and you never fail to bring a smile to my face. Through the years, I've learned a simple fact: cousins are amazing; they know your wacky family through and through, and there's never a need for explanations.

On Tuesday, I crashed on the floor and spend some time sorting video tapes. (The ancient VHS. ;))Old movies, mostly, which I have a weakness for – hence the fact that very few got the boot. I also tried my luck with the books, but … it just isn’t working right now. I’ve been rewriting one scene for almost three days!! How unacceptable is that? There’s got to be something wrong with me, I’m telling you. I’ve never been this slow, or bad at concentrating. I need a break, which my horoscope is kind enough to continually remind me of.

Wednesday’s horoscope:

‘Your body, which usually runs at warp speed, is telling you to slow down. You need to take a break from time to time. Eating a big bowl of caramel popcorn while watching TV won't send you into a downward spiral from which you'll never emerge. On the contrary, such an indulgence may leave you feeling refreshed and even giddy. Why not try it?’

I actually later took that advice, and it certainly helped. Anyway, I also dug into a tub of old photos! If you didn't know this already, I love photos. I was ecstatic to see pictures of me and my parents when we were selling our first home in Sandy, UT; building the cement wall in Weston; me dressed up for Halloween at a young age; playing around with my sisters and my niece Iree as a baby. It’s a sweet thing to reflect on such memories. Takes my breath away … what I’ve forgotten, through the fourteen years of my life.

That’s why I’m here, right now, writing down my day and how I feel. I want to remember these years forever, and know exactly where I was coming from. Whether I’m a messed up teenager, or a ‘little adult,’ I want it down on paper. (Credit to my journal.)
