Since the mega-push to get the house cleaned up and further along the track to organized, I've been feeling pretty deflated. Deflated but weirdly restless. I really need to start working toward something worthwhile as far as my own personal, out-in-the-world sort of work. I've been very introverted and very private lately for the most part, and ( Read more... )

So...there was that post of substance I said I was going to make. I had it all in my head, and then I spent the last hour or so looking for Ree's beloved Clown from her Little People theme park toy she got for Christmas, and now I don't much feel like it. (I have been learning to let all those missing little toys and pieces slide, but when you've ( Read more... )

We started ripping apart the house a bit yesterday in the afternoon. I ended up taking Rhiannon over by my mom's to hang out while my mom put up her tree and got a call from Chris saying he'd moved a cabinet in the basement that probably hadn't been moved for upwards of 25 years and found a live bird behind it which promptly started flying all ( Read more... )

This was posted as a comment to a post in the astrology community which inspired it. It ran on a LOT longer than I'd originally intended, and it ended up being a lot more personally insightful than I would have thought, once I read it over in toto.

Thursday is a rare night where we usually end up seeing the news and some after prime-time network TV because we leave the it on after taping Lost and Eli Stone. Jimmy Kimmel mentioned in his monologue that Oprah had had a pregnant transgendered man on her show, so that when daitengu was channel-surfing ( Read more... )

( A general update )

The last two months have been kinda weird. I spent May waiting and waiting. Usually anytime I have time off from work, it passes in a flash. Time during the month of May seemed to dilate to the point that four weeks took a century's worth of time to pass. And June sped by in seconds. I can't believe that Rhiannon is 33 days old today.

Wow...daitengu and I have been married a month already, and the time has just flown by. Slowly but steadily we are getting various goals around the house accomplished and it looks like he will be closing on his house before month's end, which is a huuuuuuuge weight off our minds. Tax time this year was virtually painless, especially since I got knocked ( Read more... )
