Bell Jar

I think I’m feeling a lot of stress lately because I haven’t been able to sleep well and my skin is breaking out in hives and eczema.  And just when I’m starting to feel a bit relaxed, my worrying husband dutifully informs me “your eczema is really bad”…which is just what a girl wants to hear, causing my anxiety to spike and making me itch even more.  It’s a neverending cycle and I think it mostly has to do with the house being in such disarray.  Clutter in the space equals clutter in the mind.  And there is so much crap in our house and so little space to move anything…there’s really not much I can do to improve the situation…not until the remodeling is done downstairs anyway.  The only thing I can do now is to just try and relax and not let all the clutter eat away at me.  We decided to have a yard sale this weekend, so hopefully that will help - we’ll be able to clear out, clean out and re-organize a lot of stuff.  I just feel so defeated and tired all the time. 

My husband bought me the diana+ camera nearly 8-9 months ago and I was so excited and thrilled to have it. However, I’m ashamed to admit that I am just busting it out from the box today. My only excuse is that we’ve been living in total chaos with the house re-design, and I’ve just been too lazy about starting any kind of art project. I know…shame on me blah blah blah. But at this point with the house still not finished, I am totally desperate to unpack all my shit and to get back into all the fun things that I used to do. So it is with great joy that I am finally embracing my diana camera, and hopefully I’ll have some cool photos to share in a few days. woot! (photo from www.lomography.com)
