These days I wake up every morning and want to put pen to paper and write. I want to fall into the madness of head down pounding out of images into words.  Of ideas into dialoge.  And I have this annoying imediment of a 40+ hour a week job.  And responsibilities and nurturing relationships taking up much of the rest of my time ( Read more... )

I am getting that over-peopled sensation again.
I was glad to go to the event and the post revel. at least intellectually, but by the time we hit the Dark Place I was fried and I didn't want to be around loud people or people with very high energy.
We had a stressful money meeting on Friday and another cohousing meeting on Sunday,  and we had guests ( Read more... )

For those of you not on the FB or on the Google+ or on the OMG dervishspin is freaking out!!! LJ filter:  elmer42 was injured in a work accident on Friday.   Someone drove a 30 yard dumpster over his right foot, parked it there, and then drove it off about a minute later.
