picking back up the threads...
I'm back from my grand adventures hiking in the Sierras in the Donner Pass area and then Burning Man. Burning Man decompression took a bit longer than I'd expect for my 6th year, somewhat due to circumstances beyond my control, and some due to circumstances of my making....
I'm now starting to pick up the threads again, getting back in to my electronic life. Still have a backlog (and frankly, with the absolutely gorgeous weather, I'm not really jonesing to spend a whole heck of a lot of time inside at the moment), but I am starting to dig out from under it. I'd set aside any electronics: email, NPR, TV, etc except for listening to my music while I was still trying to journal all the Burning Man thoughts out of my head. It is like a dream that you go through and if you don't grab it while it is fresh, or clutter your head with other stuff, the memories will fade. Heck, even a few days after it I had to ask one of my camp mates about the order of a few nights. (Thursday night we'd meant to go out, decided to take a nap at 9 pm so we could see an 11 pm show and never woke up til morning. When I went to journal it, my brain shifted Friday night's events on to Thursday and then I couldn't remember what the heck I'd done Friday night...)
But I am back in the saddle and slowly digging out... now to go back through 3 weeks of LJ posts and see what all you beautiful crazies were getting up to while I was gone....
