It started last night at about 10:05 pm and it hasn’t abated at all.
It is so bad, I am starting to annoy myself. Certainly the fact I just touched my face and my skin felt as dry and crackly as sandpaper didn’t help.
Or perhaps it is exacerbated by the reality of knocked-off-the-table vase filled with glorious flowers from my dogs sometime in the night.
Or it could be the feeling that everyone needs a piece of me today that has me so riled up and its been like that for at least the past four days, two of which were supposed to be in solitude for me, a very important ritual as the school year is coming to an end.
I took a deep breath and looked into the face of one of my latest creations: a golden pothos I propagated and planted in a pot I painted after researching how to be sure a terra cotta pot will keep its paint on it. Such a marvel is the internet, telling me the missing link from the pots I have painted in the past!
I took her photo and sighed in a quick splash of contentment which I will draw upon as I move along to my next activity today.
I may be annoyed.
I may be annoying to others.
I gave life to a new plant plus I gave her a carefully created home.
Even typing that makes me feel slightly less bothered.
That is the point, isn’t it?
