So you're collecting empty jars and boxes too? Is it because of the idea "maybe I can use these for .... in the future"? For me it is, and some of my friends have the same

yup.. that's totally it.. and the cooler/nicer the jar or box, the greater the temptation to "save" it~! lol.. once in a while, i have to purge my stash and it feels very bittersweet..

POST 149 (DAY 156, Wednesday, 2021.1.13)
[Evening Entry]

.. today was "House Plants Day".. half-holiday.. it was super fun connecting with these beautiful beings that give us so much oxygen and aesthetic appeal around the house.. we re-potted some, made new pots for others, and pruned their malfoliage.. (not sure if that's a real word.. disturbed leaves, per say)..

enjoy the pics~!

.. played settlers of cattan today.. I was highly resistant to involve myself in such a diversion.. now having played, I can see why people like this game.. would I play again? .. not sure.. it’s hard for me to dedicate an uncertain amount of time to any one diversion when it seems there’s so much “work” to be done.. I would have to know ahead of time and have half my chores complete.. then I may opt to make Friday night so enjoyably diverting.. does that mean I am deprived of simple fun in my life? Not sure.. maybe.. or maybe that’s how I get when I’m on a two year long mission.. *shrugs* :)

Enjoy the pics!

.. played catan again.. what’s happening to me?.. two+ hours of my life seems to have gone into this board game.. but also perhaps that is time well spent because of the company engaged.. the question arose “is time limited? And if so, why is that important?” .. I thought i knew why.. but as I explored this idea through Amey’s perspective, the ground began to shake a bit.. as if to shift plate-tectonically into a more stable formation.. now I have more food for thought..

Enjoy the pics!

Saw this beautiful summer hat at the store.. held it for five minutes then set it down.. it was nearly a perfect hat.. but it’s not summer.. sometimes in life, something may seem so right, but if the timing is off, is it still right? ;)
