And I generally give people who don't get it a hard time, most think they are going to have a reaction or get the flu....
I always said to them, don't be silly....
Well, naturally I had a bit of a reaction on Friday night and pretty much felt lousy all weekend.
It was weird, I had the chills and I've been aching all over.
We had also decided to have a tag sale on Sunday, so I spent Saturday lugging stuff around.
We are having some company stay with us soon and we really need to cut down on the clutter in the house.
So, out to the garage I lugged 12 boxes of books and the spin bike and milk crate of weights.
My back was not feeling great on Saturday night and in the back of my mind I knew we would be just lugging stuff back after the sale.
Not too far off, though we did sell the spin bike and weights. A few books.
basically, we can't give this stuff away. and then certain neighbors brought some stuff over for us to sell.
Then there were the shoppers who showed up and had no problem with their child throwing rocks into our neighbors yard...who barely speaks to us, we know not why... Amy got the job of going over there and telling them. We got our rocks back.....
All in all, it was a busy, tiring weekend. We did decide to just donate everything that is left. no lugging it back in. Now, just need to get the futon back downstairs and we are all set.
We took Monday off, we knew we wanted to go to the beach and watch the eclipse.
And we did. it was chilly so we didn't stay that long and ended up watching the rest of it from home, where it was warm...
But while we were there.
It was a beautiful night and there were quite a few folks down there.
Many were sitting in the field with lawn chairs, others on the beach.
We managed to get a bench overlooking the sound.
peaceful
dark
waves crashing
people chatting
a family walked out onto the sand all carrying pumpkin globes that lit up.
it was fun. pretty in the dark.
did I mention it was chilly......
And the moon, though so high up in the sky, shone brightly on the water.
and we watched as the eclipse started and it looked like small slices were disappearing from the moon.
Did I try to capture the moment?
yeah I did.
but I forced myself to just take it all in.
not just the eclipse itself.
Everything.
It was so clear there for us.
and it was another starry, starry night.
I love the moon and the stars.
I love seeing people there.
Wanting to experience nature.
Experience life.
It's all around us.
I know I haven't had much to say lately, it's because, well - I haven't had much to say.... kinda busy, kinda down. nothing major. Just sometimes words pour out of me and sometimes I feel I have nothing worth saying.
I'm in that stage right now. Nothing worthwhile to say really.
Hoping to see some light at the end of the tunnel soon....
