Just Sunday Things
Added 2021-05-02 23:44:15 +0000 UTCMy brain has been goo so Matt took me to Mt Tabor today. We sat on a tablecloth on the ground while I embroidered and he sketched on his iPad.
Once again, I am embroidering Lady Lovely Locks, but this one is going to be my most elaborate, sculptural fiber piece yet.
Just behind Matt you can see a bit of the family who switched between speaking in Spanish and English without missing a beat. The mama of the group (at least, she had Big Matriarch Energy) erupted in a loud cackle of laughter every so often. Our two little groups never intersected but their presence and affection for each other made my heart feel warm.
My brain feels better after staring at a wall of green (when I wasn’t staring at my embroidery) for a couple hours. There’s a teeeeny tiny Matt just right of the center in that picture, disguised among the tree trunks.
Tig was very happy to see me when I got home.
These pictures are from earlier this morning, before we went to the park. My photogenic angels.
Matt and I just have our one pod buddy who lives five minutes away, so we see him several times a week. It’s weird to realize that I have ONLY had physical contact with just two people, Matt and our friend, for over a year now.
I had a socially distant meet up with another friend recently and we talked about how soon we’ll be able to hug again and then I actually got hug performance anxiety???
WHAT IF I HUG WEIRD NOW.
WHAT IF I AM BAD AT HUGGING.
Real Talk: I will probably burst into tears the first time I hug someone who is not Matt or our pod buddy.
Ok, well, here’s my garden, good bye! ❤️

2021-05-22 00:42:53 +0000 UTCI've given four hugs since getting vaccinated, and I can say that the only feelings I felt were "wow, this is weird" and "can we hug for longer than usual?" I really resonate with the feeling of being in the general vicinity of other people enjoying themselves and feeling a new-to-me emotionality. After seeing so much evidence that *some* people don't really care about others, witnessing people being kind and caring in public almost makes me want to cry. Thanks for sharing all these observations. These types of posts are my favorites of all the ones you post (although I enjoy all of them), so thank you. :)

2021-05-05 00:27:00 +0000 UTCI feel you on the hug thing. I live alone, so it’s been over a year since I’ve hugged anyone. :( Also, these pics made me realise how rarely you post pics of Matt! Not sure I’d actually seen him in a photo (as opposed to a cartoon) before…

2021-05-03 06:46:16 +0000 UTCI'm glad to know I'm not the only one worried I'll be bad at socializing or hugs when this is all past us. That said, I'm sure you can do it! I think hugs are something you never truly forget how to do (unlike riding a bike, which I have *definitely* forgotten how to do) Your garden continues to look amazing and every update makes me smile.

2021-05-03 00:40:45 +0000 UTCI went out on a limb and hugged someone that I don't usually touch anymore, with masks, the other day. It was amazing. You won't forget, don't worry.

2021-05-03 00:14:19 +0000 UTCI hugged friends for the first time in over a year on Friday. Words can not describe how wonderful it was. You got this.
