I found this old mirror while cleaning under my sink last week and I can't remember where it came from, why I have it, or why it was under the sink.
I've been feeling insecure about a whole bunch of things lately, so this morning I decided to put myself together just for the fun of it. Since I work from home most days, it hardly feels worth the effort to get all dolled up just for Olive and me, which is a thought I need to change and also why I've put more effort into making my house and clothing more beautiful.

Since I work from home most days, it hardly feels worth the effort to get all dolled up just for Olive and me, which is a thought I need to change...I managed to sip only a few drops of coffee this morning (my coffee usually gets cold several times before it's been fully consumed, and you can often find me drinking the same cup well into the afternoon), put Frank's "September of my Years" on the record player, grabbed one of my favorite dresses (an old J.Crew dress I found some time ago at the thrift store), put on some of my mother's black pearls (don't tell her I forgot to give them back after borrowing them), did my makeup, pinned up my hair, and finished my coffee.
Fall is in the air and so is this feeling of "care," which makes me want to bake, and clean, and primp, and search for new recipes, and make soups, and cuddle under cozy blankets, and drink tea from a fancy tea set.
I feel that this Fall is transforming me in some sort of way I do not yet fully know, but I am glad for the turning of the leaves and the possibility of closing this year beautifully.
