beauty and ugly

I have not been doing well getting good photos these last two days. This is probably due to two reasons: 1) I am actually trying to accomplish goals and meet a deadline, which makes it hard to take time to go out looking for a shot. 2) I am working on a design project, so I am interacting visually and creating beauty as I go, so some of my need for beauty is being met through that process.

In any case, I have a photo from inside our apartment once again.

It was a good day overall, anyway. I jogged early and got groceries on the way home. Showered, went out to breakfast with Mr., came back and loved on the cat. Did two loads of laundry, worked on my project a while and made soup for lunch. A little more time with the cat, a bit of housecleaning, and more design work. ANOTHER shower, and out for supper with old friends.

Anyone who knew me before we moved here would be absolutely appalled at the way I look when I walk out of the house sometimes. I don't even try to deal with my appearance when I go out to exercise, and come back soaked through with sweat. To make matters worse, I am sporting a boil on my cheek.

That's right, a boil. I know some might think only dirty people get boils. I bathe a LOT, but we live in a very dirty place. I had never had a boil until I moved here. Luckily this one is not nearly as painful as some others I've had, but it looks like I have put my halloween costume on a bit early this year. All I need is a long, crooked nose… oh, wait. I have one of those, too. :-(

And the worst thing is I don't really care. My husband loves me, and I don't really care what anyone else thinks.

And just in case you're wondering, the proper way to treat a boil is warm compresses. Never, NEVER pick a boil.

Now off to do a tequila shot with the Mr.
