Moving: I have decided to try and move to Seattle at the end of March. The current plan is to head up there for four days at the end of January for
t_bellwether 's birthday. In February I am going to Michigan for ConVocation. Then move in March. I am still a little tense about the move, but more and more I am realizing I just cannot stay here.
Body: It seems my alchohol tolerance has decreased dramatically. Approximately in half, in fact - I seem to get about the same effect from one drink as I used to get from two. This caused me to get violently ill a couple of times, but I think I figured it out. And cutting back on drinking usually does not hurt anybody too badly.
Heart, Mind, and Spirit: Many things going on here. Mostly improvements. Not suitable subject matter for a public post. I may or may not write more about these topics later.
Social: I have pretty much been in a black hole of social interaction lately, with one or two exceptions. I am going to try to start gradually answering emails and writing letters again.
Happy:
t_bellwether came for a visit last week. I had a wonderful time with her - went to see the California Academy of Sciences (not enough penguins), cruised Haight Street, went to
AsiaSF, and took in the view from The View Lounge. I was even inspired to cook a somewhat elaborate meal one evening - pan-seared duck breast with a blackberry-port glaze, sesame spinach, and wild rice pilaf. Cooking is one of my favorite creative outlets, and I do miss having people to cook for sometimes. Her visit helped pull me (a little bit) out of the state I've been in, injected some much-needed happiness into my life, and was all-around a very good thing.
I feel like there should be more to write but there isn't. C'est la vie, desu ne.
