What an idea! I am currently at the family property and had sat myself down to do some writing about things in general, then decided, hey why not do it on this computer of my b-i-l’s, and then I will transfer it to the blog. That ever-present, never-sleeping blog.
First to explain – I have missed 2 (two! Count ‘em, TWO!) Morning Page/Blog days because of this, as it turns out, aborted “backpacking trip.” The idea (of the dh) had been to park at Jones Nose, part way up Mt Greylock, then to hike up a mile or so and camp at a very nice place that he found while hiking last year. Well, as it turns out, 1) one cannot park overnight at Jones Nose and 2) one cannot camp on the AT except at the shelters. Both things that me friend was wondering about when I described our plan to her yesterday. Points for her! I was assiduously not worrying about any of the logistics, but was leaving it all to the dh, whose plan, as I have clearly stated, this was. Anyway, by the time all this became clear, we had driven to Greylock and so decided to stop at J’sN and just hike up to that spot and then maybe pick blueberries and then come here to the farm for the night. Only when we started up the trail it started to pour, so that ended that idea. For my part, I will say that I was pretty content to be hiking in the rain, after all it was not cold (or rather I should say, because of the rain it was not hot, which it otherwise would have been) and so I did not mind being wet. But the dh wasn’t happy and so we bailed. The point of all this being that I did not write this morning because of getting ready to go, and in fact I did not write yesterday morning because I thought we were going to go then, so I was trying hard to get everything done that I needed to do before going (including things like planning the college visit trip to PA), so I didn’t write. By the time the decision was made not to go (because of a forecast of rain all day) the morning was over, and one cannot do Morning Pages in the afternoon…. Ok, that is lame, but I did some carding, then we went to do errands and get tea, then I did more carding and my friend came over….. so went the day.
On another note, what I need to write, besides this rambling, is to write up stuff for my etsy descriptions. I find that I actually hate writing those descriptions. Cutesy, Hallmark style upbeat descriptions are just not my style. Maybe I should try being more “myself” with them, instead of trying to be like I see on other people’s pages. Not that everyone is cutesy. I just don’t want to be raving about how great I am, how great my rabbits are, how great my yarn is. Though of course it is great. But no one seems to want to buy it (oh sob sob, poor poor me……..). I mean if I am trying to have a business, then the point is supposed to be to make stuff that people will buy, and to work on “selling myself.” But that is very tedious. So maybe I will try being more free and easy and (gasp) honest, and see what happens. I need not put every last thing I write on etsy, after all.
