every once and in while i write about pants fitting really well. today is one of those days. it seems i've lost some weight recently, and i'm fitting back into pants i haven't worn since 2009. i'm pretty excited about this because they're the right size and fit. i like that they're tight enough that they don't get all baggy or loose in places, but loose enough that they're not uncomfortably tight. excellent. i'm having a good pants day.

the news of davy jones death the other day struck close to home. he had a heart attack at 66. my dad is 66 and was on the verge of a heart attack when he saw a doctor in december. i'm extremely thankful that they were able to do the surgery and that it was a success. as we and our loved ones get older we really need to be mindful of our hearts! don't take any chances.

so moving day has arrived for fang and xi. i'm hoping that we can go in there tonight to look around. brendan thinks they'll probably leave a bunch of stuff behind. it's hard for us to imagine fang and xi packing and moving. they don't seem like the kind of guys who'd think to get boxes or rent/borrow a truck. this weekend i'm hoping to start laying new flooring in the bathroom. it shouldn't take very long and i'm pretty sure it's a one person job. it really won't be difficult to get that place looking good. a coat of paint and some new floors will go a long way. i'm toying with the idea of buying some fresh reno clothes from the sally ann. some sweat pants or something. maybe i should get some knee pads.

i'm completely delighted because after a few days of experimenting with my tea tree and olive oil mix i've found the right combination and i'm happy to say that my current eczema outbreak has disappeared. or just about. it worked like a charm AND with this combination the tea tree oils aren't so strong that the fumes irritate my eyes when i first put it on. great stuff. at this point i don't know if i should keep using it preventitively or only when i start getting an outbreak.

it's funny how certain albums speak to certain stages of life. years ago i got a jill barber album. i liked it, however it was a bit to enchanted for me to really connect with it. but the other day one of the songs popped into my head so i decided to put it back on repeat for another go. and since then i'm kind of hooked on it. i guess i have fresh ears with a fresh perspective.

the day i met a new love
well how could i be sure
whether it was ever true love
that i had known before.

i love that you used the word "enchanted" to describe music.

I was thinking the same thing, Beckie!
