Little things in life that I'll miss

You'd better not wait too long
At what age should we stop waiting and get going by ourselves? Quite a long ago I realized it was me who had to make decisions, the right ones and the wrong ones. Waiting is no longer of use to me. If you want something to happen, come out and look for it, girl.
Desde hace unas semanas me he zambullido en un mundo de arquitectura y decoración. Salto de blog en blog, archivando fotografías seductoras o que dentro de un año me recuerden una idea que me pareció estupenda. Entre muchos de estos blogs hay costumbre de incluir frases bonitas de vez en cuando, de esas frases pensadas para poner en un poster en la pared. Ayer mismo me topé con unas cuantas. Tengo mala memoria, pero una de ellas me irritó lo suficiente como para que pueda reproducirla hoy. Venía a decir: "tengo la sensación de estar esperando algo que no va a suceder".

Change is in the air and is turning my stomach
I choked in the bad news instead. They unsettled my head and my stomach, leaving me in a little shock and with no appetite. We have to move from this cool house, where we have spent the last fourteen years. After a night of tossing and turning in my bed, I have assumed that I have to take life as it comes, but the frenzy of uncertainty is still with me. Of course I know that this is not the end of the world, but the several projects I have just started will have to fit between the boxes and the moving in the best possible way.
I recently wrote here that I needed nothing, because I felt content with what I had. Now I need a new home. That's life. We will have to make lemonade.

Husband's birthday
Hoy es el cumple de husband y para celebrarlo hemos encargado un temporal de impresión: lluvia, rachas de viento muy potentes, pequeñas inundaciones... ¡qué no falte de nada! Y además es lunes, ese pequeño gran día que abre una semana entera de posibilidades.
Hoy vamos a disfrutar de las pequeñas cosas buenas, por favor.
¡Feliz cumpleaños, husband!

Today's husband's birthday and to celebrate it we've ordered the most impressive storms: rain, agressive squalls, small floods... bring one of each! Plus, it's Monday, that great little day which discloses a week full of possibilities.
Let's enjoy the good little things today, please.
Happy birthday, husband!

All about garlands
My drawings, my home... My girls are in a make-another-garland drive.
Yes, we like them.
::
Estos son mis últimos días en el trabajo. Me quedan diez días y se acabó. Debería estar nerviosa, dubitativa; bueno, lo estoy, pero también noto bastante desapego con esa realidad. De hecho, mi vida cambia tanto cuando abro la puerta de casa, que es fácil olvidarme de los momentos duros. Y, oye, además las guirnaldas nos invaden.
En mis últimos dibujos, en mi casa... Las niñas se han metido de lleno en una espiral de hacer guirnaldas.
Y nos gustan.

What a fun day I had yesterday, thanks to Deborah and her post on my home. But also thanks to everybody's comments and mails, and furthermore, thanks to your curiosity. I had a laugh.

Any given day


I'm running short of words lately. Forgive me. It's the beginning of the end of school. It's also the beginning of the end of a part of my life. Things aren't going precisely well at work and a change is in the air.
I'll be back to writing full stories and posts very soon.
::
Últimamente me estoy quedando sin palabras. Perdonadme. Es el principio del fin del curso. También es el principio del fin de una parte de mi vida. Las cosas no van muy bien en el trabajo y un cambio se percibe en el aire.
En breve estaré escribiendo historias y entradas más elaboradas en el blog .

Enferma
Sick for a few days, I haven't been able to come to the blog. I feel as if I had a hungover. If I knew how a hungover feels. I feel as if an eternity had washed over me and my bones had turned all old. How bad it feels to be sick. How good it feels to be fine. Sometimes I forget.
Now hopefully I'm up on my feet in time to watch some huge waves on the coast, a view that I always enjoy. And Sunday will give me some time to work on some commissioned pieces and maybe some sleep in too.
Have a good day!
::
Enferma por unos breves días, no he podido acercarme al blog. Siento como si tuviera resaca. Si supiera lo que es una resaca. Siento que ha pasado una eternidad y mis huesos hubiesen envejecido. Qué mal se está cuando se está mal. Qué bien se está cuando se está bien. A veces me olvido.
Ahora, con un poco de suerte, me habré recuperado a tiempo de ver esas olas gigantes que anunciaban en la costa. Una visión que me encanta. Y el domingo también me dará tiempo para dormir un poco más y trabajar en un par de encargos pendientes.
Pasad un buen día!

Time off
Lo mismo hace calor que llueve. Lo mismo jugamos que nos duele la cabeza. Un poco de medicina y vuelta a jugar. Los niños se curan a toda velocidad.
Now it's warm outside, the next minute it'll be raining. Now we are playing, the next minute we will be suffering a slight headache. A spoonful of medicine and back to playing. Children recover so easily.

Patio
El patio de mi casa es caótico. Jamás podría aparecer en una revista de decoración. Bueno, quizá en un capítulo terrenal de The Selby sí. El patio de mi casa es persistentemente ignorado cuando comienza el invierno y el suelo está permanentemente mojado y cubierto de flores marchitas del jazmín y el hibiscus. Pero es el patio de mi casa desde donde miro el cielo, donde compruebo el frío que hace y donde salgo a sacar fotos a modo de terapia cuando me tomo un respiro.
My patio is a mess. It could never be featured in a house decoration magazine. Well, at most as one of The Selby's most realistic features. My patio is constantly ignored during winter, while it's wet non-stop and significantly covered by withered jazmin and hibiscus flowers. However, my patio is the only place I could stare long at the sky, where I check how cold it is outside and where I come out to take some pictures as a therapy when I need a break.
