It's just like where I am living. It's raining all the time, but when the sun comes out once in a while, the whole city is cheering and there isn't a better place to live. We need contrasts in our lives, and yes, the down periods aren't necessarily fun, but so will the up periods be instead. Besides that, yes, I know paper is heavy, and it's only when you move you really figure out how much those books, magazines, notebooks and, yes, in particular those coffee table books weigh (I just moved not long ago...).<br /><br />I guess lumber must be bad too?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-40670243939596568602013-05-29T05:19:23.321-07:002013-05-29T05:19:23.321-07:00Linda, you are a wonderful sis.

Maybe I shouldn't complain about men's books since I'm glad to see someone reading -- plus I don't want to admit to how many books I might have around :)Linda Hensleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11929626735450807904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-5510477126669357872013-05-28T16:48:10.082-07:002013-05-28T16:48:10.082-07:00Man stuff is definitely heavier...

Perhaps his will show up a few days late like they often do, a bit scruffier and telling no tales.<br /><br />I don't know if men's stuff is heavier than women's stuff, but it certainly sounds like your brother's stuff is heavier than most stuff. Books, metal, rocks. Yeah, who needs a weight bench? :D<br /><br />I like the line quality of your new pen.

I ended up nixing 2 of those "obligations" and guess what - I'm still breathing, things didn't fall apart and the tension left. I'm awake now though, at 3:35 am for some mysterious reason. Tension? Or was it the spoon full of ice cream before I went to bed?<br /><br />I hope your smart, strong, young brother gets back on his feet soon. <br /><br />I'm not an artist, but I can relate to you liking your new pens. I love finding a "feel-good" pen or pencil to write with. I can tell by your doodles that you're having fun. <br /><br />Blessings to you, your brother, and all the other people, Problem Solver.<br /><br />Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08180243708565855383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-57638533665895820172013-05-27T23:30:45.934-07:002013-05-27T23:30:45.934-07:00That seems an awful lot of tension for one person!...That seems an awful lot of tension for one person!

At least drawing with your new pen brings some joy to you and for us to see, too.<br /><br />I don't no about your brothers 'sordid' story, but apart from that he seems to be a great catch. If it weren't for the age difference and a whole ocean between us I'd line up for him. And tell him that 42 really is still young enough.
