This Perfectly Imperfect Life

Good morning & happy Monday! 💛🌻💛 Find joy in your day no matter what! (Even if you woke up with tonsillitis like I did 😐🙊)

What an amazing morning! Took a tour of the sailing ship "America" (a replica of the original) which was anchored just outside the mouth of the harbor (due to low tide). I haven't been on a boat since I was a kid, so the boat ride to and from the America, and seeing part of our beautiful town from the water for the first time (though we've lived here over a decade), as well as the tour and history, was a fantastic experience! I hope you're all having a fabulous Saturday and find joy in your day no matter what - especially in new and unexpected ways! 

Happy Saturday! It has been a rough, rough couple of weeks, with being sick and with trying to work the kinks out in mother's new home care routine, all on top of a major RA pain flareup. But, this morning I picked what I'm thinking are the last two cukes (since despite some flowers the vines are turning pale) and they're sliced up & in the jar pictured above now. Me I'm back on the couch under a throw blanket, sipping soup & nibbling saltines as my sinus infection has roared back up before it was even gone 😝😷🤒 Hope y'all are well! Find joy in your day no matter what! 💚

Having a day. Being a spoonie + being caregiver kind of having a day.  Exhausted. Overwhelmed. Ugly crying. Clueless. Anger returning. Trying to keep my head above water, but after all of these months, starting to slip under.  Thankful it's not as hot here today so I could spend some time in the garden. It is my great comfort.  

Good morning & happy Friday! Find joy in your day no matter what ☺️🙏🏻🙌🏻  #goodmorning #happyfriday #upheavalintorevival #findjoy #simplepleasuresgreatestjoy #autumnjoysedum #sedum #gardenwalk #augustgarden #summergarden #latesummergarden #mygarden #inmygardentoday #apartmentgarden #containergarden #summer #summertime #august #nofilter #thisperfectlyimperfectlife

Belated good morning & happy Tuesday! Snapped this right before heading over to mom's side of the #perfectlyimperfecthomestead to get her ready for her first day of adult care. So far it's reminding me of when I was a little girl and I hated going to summer camp: lots of crying and protesting 🙁 But it's what I expected and I'm not surprised, as sad as it is. Fingers crossed it won't be like this every time she's scheduled to go, but I won't get my hopes up. Regardless it will be a relief for me to have her there, she absolutely needs the programs they have in order to stay healthy & functioning until and while the long term home care process begins in a couple of weeks. Plus this and the home aid gives me peace of mind and some much needed break, because this ole spoonie is running on E! Find joy in your day no matter what! #upheavalintorevival #goodmorning #happytuesday #sunrise #august #summer #summertime #augustgarden #summergarden #mygarden #inm
