Polishing

It has been a very difficult week for me. I am absolutely exhausted, both physically and emotionally. 

I found myself doing some strange things. Like polishing the silver teaset because it let me stop and think about my grandparents.

And cleaning my boots that I wear almost everyday because it helped me to stop and do something completely menial that was an immense relief.

(I also drank an inordinate amount of tea).

Simon is coming home today. That always helps, too.

Edited to add: My boots are Merrell's Waterproof Tetra Launch. I love them. I do a lot of walking and in a lot wet weather. They are extremely comfortable and I wear them with everything from jeans to leggings to skirts and dresses. They are still widely available online. As I said, I wear them almost every single day! The slightly lighter leather bits in the photo were due to the soap still being on the leather, by the way. They have worn very well.

I hope you are feeling so much better. When ever you get the chance could you let me know where you got these boots? I love them!
