Mists rising from silver ground
Ow I bit my inside lip tonight. Methought it was a slippery piece of cabbage.
Did a lot today. Prednisone will do that. It helped keep me motivated. I actually like how it makes me a little more assertive and self-assured. It stops me from second-guessing most of my decisions and makes me more likely to go ahead and act. I'm sure eventually that would turn into me being an asshole, from what I know of prednisone. It made my mom's dog fat and angry. Luckily he went back to his normal friendly self after they took him off it.
Spent some time postering the Arcata plaza and I street. People were pretty good about putting up the poster for me. One chick walked by as I was postering and offered to put one up in Toby and Jack's, a regular bar. We will convert them.
Got vaccinated for the H1N1 flu. Or as I like to call it, "the hiney flu."
Made a chicken in the slow cooker. Worked ok. The lemon was a little strong. And I think I overcooked it. But it did provide piles of lean meat. Ate it with brown rice. And cabbage. And had a smoothie later as a snack. Go me! Now if I could just solve the problem of getting too hungry during the day. Trail mix?
Everything I eat has to have protein to go with the limited carbs. And I'm trying to make my carbs all have fiber, vitamins, etc. And neither can have a lot of fat.
Got home, had dinner, took two sessions. They both were annoying, but I need the rent money. There's a reason I don't usually take sessions after 8 pm. People arrive fucked up. Pot, booze. Maybe it's just the post-full-moon craziness. The second guy was totally paranoid about his friends in my apartment building seeing him.
The highlight tonight was getting to put up the Aunty Mo's Bondage Bash display in the window. It is so fetish-tastic! I hope everyone in Humboldt sees it and starts talking about it. I hope for just a little bit of controversy to draw attention to it.
As Eros and Chick and Quetzal all know, any attention is good attention.
I wish I had some almonds.
I have so much to be grateful for today.
- Eros making sure my water does not get turned off
- Chicken
- A ride down to Eureka to get my flu shot
- Wonderful decorators helping with the window
- Working with the Sisters
- A ride back up from Michael
The mist rising from the ground, lit silver by the just-past-full-moon, was truly magical. It's called "tulle fog." It seemed like the Mists of Avalon to me.
I'm glad Eros encourages my geek girl side. I used to really hate it and try to distance myself from it in college. But I recognize the value in an active imagination. They used to say I had such an active imagination when I was younger. Do I now? I don't know. I would call BDSM imaginative. I would call my photo work creative, but I don't know if I would call it imaginative.
I guess imaginative can also apply to new ways of looking at existing things. Or solving problems in new ways. Gotta apply some of that to my ordinary life, because my stuff and house and finances are totally disorganized. Need to create and stick to good systems for those.
I have made a commitment to get up early and start work right away. And to make exercise a priority. So far so good. I am pretty active. Gotta fit yoga in there somewhere, though.
Livejournal still fails vs. Facebook on the ease of uploading photos.
