New Start (Poking Anxiety with a Stick)

I have no idea if this is what one does when one is new to Tumblr and needs to find a way to make a start.

However, I am hoping that doing so will fix my this-site-specific posting block and I will be able to start to sort out what to do with it going forward.

Hi.

I’m SageNatural.

I make things. Mostly tea and other hot beverages, but I rotate through a number of other fixations – most of them having to do with tying knots in a variety of sizes and shapes of fiber – occasionally involving larger pieces of flat cloth.

I read. I write. I doodle when I’m doing ink testing.

I have fuzzy critters. (At the moment 2 direct cats, 1 household cat and 1 household dog.) There have been others. There will probably be pictures of all and sundry. As well as of others that left their mark but are no longer with me in a physical sense.

There’s probably more, but this is a start.

I’m used to Twitter. Here is weird. But I’ll learn.

And now that the awkwardness has descended, I’m going to leave this post here and call it a beginning.

This morning was brutal. First time in the #c25k that I had to run more than walk and it was a Monday after lots of sleeping late and I hated the world. I do my couch to 5k stuff in my son’s room while watching a show (first was @witchernetflix, now I’m on to @daemonsanddust). The one fun addition to today’s workout was our new family member, Lexemo the bearded dragon. He was so very excited about the show! It was adorable watching him watch the screen! So I have to say a huge thank you to my new dragon sidekick for keeping me smiling through this morning’s torture! #petsareawesome https://www.instagram.com/p/Cah0Q87rSKi/?utm_medium=tumblr
