I donāt know if you've ever been told this, but it is okay to have a small, exclusive wedding. This is not a diatribe against large weddings, but I think it needs to be said that small weddings are okay, and in some cases should be fought for.
For months after mine, I would tell my āsmall weddingā story to new friends I was making and there would be audible sighs and wistful expressions of, āIām so jealous,ā and āI wish weād done that.ā It startled me how many people had never even considered that they were allowed to have a smaller wedding, or felt they were obligated to shape their most special day differently for the sake of other people. It alarmed me how many of my new friends had felt stressed and coerced into inviting everyone they knew, impressing them, and paying out of pocket for the privilege of shouldering that stress.
I get it. I grew up thinking it was the norm that everyone and their third cousin twice removed got invited to a wedding. That the stress of managing all that was just part of the territory. That The Big Day had to be THAT level of perfect, to pull everything off without setting anything on fire. As I started to realize the sort of price tag that The Big Day had in dollars and stress, the less sense it made to me.
So, in the lead-up to our own wedding, my husband and I talked a lot about the sort of wedding we wanted and things we really didnāt want.
At first, I was afraid to learn, because I was afraid to be dragged down into an endless abyss of problems I could never hope to solve. I was terrified of the despair inherent in certain kinds of learning.
Then I was afraid to learn because I had the sense that if I did learn, I would come into conflict with people I cared about. I did not believe my relationships would survive attempts at self-education, and I clung to those relationships at nearly all costs. And, in some cases, I have been proven correct about this.
May I never do that again. As soon as I have the stability to take on an area of learning, may I do so with joy and curiosity. May I never stunt my own growth for the sake of others again.
Last week, I got in touch with @solitaria-fantasmaā about purchasing excess yarn. I tend to goldfish about what Iāve ordered while waiting for it to arrive, so whenever packages show up itās like Christmas. A very large box appeared at the gate and I was confused because my goldfish brain went,Ā āThatās probably too big for the books I ordered.... not books.... bigger... not Amazon.... not Etsy.... YARN. PROBABLY YARN.ā
I took it in and opened in up to this loveliness. Itās too hard to photograph what followed, which was a session of burying my face in yarn and running my hands through the glorious pile.
Solitaria also sent me a little handmade cactus.
This liāl guy was cute enough but then I accidentally squeezed and
and then I realized that I was holding a stim toy, because itās filled with either marbles or those weighty little glass decorative stones. So itās soft on the outside and weighted and it makes a beautiful clickety-click noise every time you squeeze and all my stress levels just wentĀ
So in any case you should really consider checking out Solitariaās shop if you were looking for a handmade stim toy that wasnāt originally intended as such XD

I am grateful for libraries. I am grateful for excessive bookĀ ālimitsā likeĀ āYou can take out up to 30 books, okay?ā I am grateful for librarians who say,Ā āLet me see if I can renew all those right now for you, so that you have a full month instead of two weeks.ā I am grateful for the heft of holding a mini-column of literature in my arms as I walk out the door.

Went to visit my sister in Lancaster, PA and I got to feed a goat. They had a little quarter-for-feed machine nearby and the goat followed me every second after I squatted in front of that machine. It was especially eager for cracked corn. It was a bit magical to get to feed it (says the city slicker).
There's an older guy who my husband and I have over for dinner a lot. He's brilliant. Like truly brilliant. And, like us, he's odd, so we don't have to be awkward about social interactions because we're all odd. He'll come fix a couple small things at our house, and we'll either go out to eat or make something here. We'll talk everything from politics to physics to invention ideas and whether or not I should take up sewing. He loaned me a sewing machine to see if I would like to work with it. Recently we went to a high school football game and he narrated over it every step of the way until my husband and I mostly understood how the game works, and that was a first! I'm grateful we have this friend in our lives.
I am grateful that this year felt like it moved, like there was an actual flow of time, unlike last year.
