Hippo, birdie, two ewes...

... to jodimuse and linda_muireall!!!! Have a great one!!!

Done yesterday (20090930)

( raw notes )

Maybe not the most productive day possible, but I managed to get enough space cleared in the office for someone to sit comfortably. That's more than I could have done a week ago.

A good walk (nice, suddenly-cool weather for it) with 19 minutes of reasonably focussed meditation. Go me!

Decided, on the basis of an evening conversation and some good examples among my friends, to start a private (i.e. totally local and off the web) journal. I may conceivably keep a paper journal as well.

Blatant commercialism

I don't know whether this makes me feel old, proud, or what. My older daughter, chaoswolf, has posted to announce her shiny new Etsy shop called Chaos of Creation. The name comes from my song The World Inside the Crystal.

She sells chainmail jewelry and bags.

Thankful Thursday

Here it is Thursday again. Or rather, here it is almost Friday... This week I am grateful for:

• My lovely Colleen, with the determination and strength to finally start walking on her own again, for the first time since the end of February.
• My sister-of-choice, Naomi, and my sister-of-choice-in-law Marty, for keeping us sane.
• Good friends, whether for pruning the roses and fruit trees, hacking Linux when I'm too stressed to do it, baking yummy Bearable goodies, or just good conversation. Your help is appreciated even when I'm too fuzzy-minded to remember what everyone did this last week.
• A small surplus of hard drives to give to loving homes.
• Insight.
• Ethanol, cyclobenzaprine, naproxen sodium, and diphenhydramine.
