Oddities & Ephemera
Have really been challenging myself to bring things up/vocalize how I feel about things that I might normally: ignore, suppress, feel victimized/angry/shitty about. Oh and the key part of the challenge is to do it in a timely manner. Which means different things given the situation.
It's still a challenge but every time I do it I can tell that the practice is paying off in so many ways. I believe this practice may be called self advocacy? Also I am super grateful when people bring stuff up with me in such a manner, so can only imagine the goodness this will hopefully contribute.
Got Wonderfalls in Netflix. Love it. About a IV League philosophy grad who works at a Niagra Falls souvenior shop and inatimate objects talk to her. Highly recommend. Quirky cute amazing funneh.
Things that are breaking my heart in unpredictable ways:
- David Carradine
- Our client's (who is already on death row) co-defendant sentenced to death today
- The recession burger affecting zine culture
Things I feeling really good about:
- renewed commitment to transparency, accountability, & breathing through the hard and easy
- clean bed sheets and clean haus
- my garden is growing these plants so far: pumpkin, corn, eggplant, green chile, pepper, tomato, cilantro, dill, basil, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, peas, beans, radishes, carrots, and a struggling lettuce!!!
- hanging out with Molly M., Nick's little sis tonight
- Role Playing Social Science/Sci Fi game with Ashvin, Becky & Gf
- House for All community & new friendships
- Al Anon home group
- trying out a spicy cheese cracker recipe
- Thunderstorms and Rain and Big Ol Clouds
- The perfect, beautiful, broken sea shells from my trip to Hawaii
