It was nice here, not obviously the middle of winter. More like early spring with the temperatures being early summer. But the trees tell you it's a ruse. I sat on our deck, when a young hawk flew down and landed on the top of one of the trees. We spent about 3-5min staring at each other. The treeline is usually too tall for them to come this low, ( Read more... )

With my work schedule being what it is, I no longer get full days to truly be lazy. Normally, I'd have one day where I'd do nothing but sit on the couch with a face mask, hair mask, and fizzy stuff in a bath tub. Maybe go shopping. But those days are gone. I now only have one regular day off, and that is for couple time. So when I get a couple of ( Read more... )

Spent the day not working on the condo. But that's ok, we'll go by tomorrow and I'll spend some time on Monday, too. We've needed to stay at the house and start to unpack. Things need to find their places ( Read more... )

So apparently I'm going through another chapter change. I'm finding it interesting because it was pointed out the other week, when my office neighbors (a bar) tried to circumvent our landlord and offer to pay for me to move. Nice idea, but they would be on the short stick, because the landlord wouldn't go for what they'd want to do anyway. But ( Read more... )

Which is kind of unavoidable as my deck is blooming (at least one flowering plant is, the other 6 or so are still works in progress).

I've been wandering around of late, spending more time reading Fallen Leaves by Will Durant. He's one of my favourite lyrical historians so it's interesting to hear his own thoughts on what he's witnessed. A good ( Read more... )

I'm walking away from things and walking towards others. Every time I open Facebook I sit and wonder why I'm even there. I scroll through half of it, comment and like few and in-between and noticing that I make a decision based on whether or not it's an open post and whether or not it's something I mind the search engines knowing. I don't mind, I ( Read more... )

You're feeling an intense sense of healing emanating from somewhere deep -- so deep that you may not even realize where it's coming from. Try not to worry about it too much, as it's strictly positive.I ended up with a day off, so far. So with all stress I've been under with the paranoid watching of my car out the window, and randomly hitting the ( Read more... )

Talked to the detective today. She seems pretty cool, even though she admits she can't make the life/lives of the person(s) who stole the stuff off my car miserable. I'm staying fairly positive, because when it started the only thing I could do was laugh. Not the funny ha-ha kind, but the "OMG, this is so absurd, really?" The insurance nightmare ( Read more... )

But our internet has been out from 2am Sunday to this afternoon, and like hell if I'm going to type a blog post on my phone. Um, no ( Read more... )

I went to the mountains and surrounded myself with women. Strange for me, I know. But it was actually a good thing. I've been thinking about my hip and shoulder issues over the last couple of days and I can't remember if my therapist attributed the right-side issues with my lack of femininity or with my over-usual masculinity. But the thing that ( Read more... )
