Yesterday was perfect

I’m pretty sure I know why.

BUT I’M TRYING TO COMMODIFY IT, FIGURE OUT HOW TO COPY IT, REPLICATE IT. CHASE IT.

and that is, well, proving tricky. (there’s a four-thousand-word essay in there, but not today, not for me.)

It was my first full day of working from home. plus a class. and I was not full of fight. I just settled in, made a fire, and got to work. I had work. I had a meeting. I wasn’t googling things or sending messages, I was just working, and talking about work, in my kitchen, surrounded by 10th birthday party decorations.

The boys got home, as their soccer season officially ended with Sunday night’s loss and devastation. They were so happy the fire was lit, the house was warm. Home, cozy, together, mom working while they putzed around. If its possible, I’m going to encapsulate this one and swallow it down, keep it forever. The day I managed things.

It all got managed. Work, warmth, kids, food, laundry, creative thinking, all of it. Like a frosting swirl that is just the perfect amount and not too sweet. Perfect.

I did that. I had that day. I’m just going to sit in it for awhile and ignore everything else going on today.

love you guys.
