I've been pretty stressed out lately.
When I stress out, I disappear. This is a disappearance in both the physical, mental, and social sense.
When I stress out, I loose my brain power and the drive to be creative; the drive to be something more than just the lump on the couch (but hey, this lump has been getting a good dose of Netflix Instant Watch --Hello, Supernatural!).
When I stress out, I want to be by myself; it is nothing personal (and we're back to the lump on the couch...and back to the Winchester boys....).
When I stress out, I loose myself.
I've never been this stressed out before.
But I'm trying to break out and get back to being myself.
I'm forcing myself to eat healthy foods, exercise, and be creative (because I'm learning it isn't an easy job altering the causes of my stress).
I crocheted last night for the first time in months (well, that's not true, I tried working on my granny square afghan a few weeks ago, but my feeble brain forgot how to do the stitch. Thanks, brain).
This is the first time I've picked up my camera since my last post, July 21st.
I'm slowly breaking through.
I need to learn to have faith; things happen for a reason.
I am loved.
It's also been pretty sparse in the vintage goodness category around here lately. I'm not sure what's going on.
I was gifted the two bowls and thrifted the others. The blue is a lidless Blue Doily I found at an estate sale, and the greenish is a lidless Wicker Weave (Basket Weave?) that was rescued from a thrift store. The lids were borrowed from other dishes for this photo; it's so nice when they share.
The cups are the ONLY pieces of Pyrex I've seen at yardsales this summer. Bah humbug on yardsales!
My collection of 043s were getting to the dangerous point of wanting to tip over and crash off the ottoman.
Thankfully, no Pyrex was harmed while creating this post.
And please don't feel bad for me. I don't blog for the purpose of receiving sympathy. I just wanted to explain a little bit about why I haven't been blogging.
If I weren't so private, I'd share exactly why I was so stressed....but you understand.
Blossom is surprisingly a good listener.
**Thanks all, for the sweet messages and emails asking me to start blogging again...that helps this stresscase**

Hi Lesley, glad you're back and I hope you're doing ok. Believe it or not I was thinking about you the other day, and was wondering why you havn't been posting on Flickr, and why you weren't blogging. I sincerely hope you are really doing alright. I know what stress can do to you, and how it can make you feel. I've sure had my share of it in my lifetime. I haven't been buying or posting any Pyrex pics for a couple of months. To tell you the truth, I'm laying off buying Pyrex for a while unless it's really something special. I am literally running out of room to store it! And, it's kinda crazy to keep buying just for the sake of buying it. Take care, and know I'm thinking about you!
Leslie,
We have missed you so much! Even in smaller doses, it is so nice to have you back.
Erica & Hanna
OHHHHH!!!! Hello and welcome back darling girl! I reaaaally was so excited to see your name pop up in my reader today. I am thinking about you! If you ever need a listening ear, I'm here!
Lots of love!
I get the private thing too, we don't need to know specifics but it is great to see you back. I hope things are looking up from here.
Welcome back to your lovely self! I was looking back at your blog the other day and wondering how you'd been. Stressors stink; I have no idea how people coped back before streaming television. Very glad you didn't have to find out. :)
