walked 5 miles this morning, trying to leverage my fat ass out of this cozy veal calf lifestyle. inspired by this post http://www.metafilter.com/65239/What-overweight-looks-like-and-why-BMI-is-nuts
I could live without the gut-cramping panic attack half way through, though. Why does it have to be literally painful and nauseating? Why the pointless, blind and stupid alarm and overwhelming sense of alienation? This is a country road on an autumn morning people, let's have some frickin appreciation and pleasure. WTF.
audible.com makes me so so happy. I recently finished In the Woods by Tana French, The Secret History by Donna Tartt, and the last Agent Pendergast book by Preston & Child (Dance of Death I think. A new one's out, that's next on the list.) Currently listening to The Little Friend by Donna Tartt. I only listen to books while painting, so I don't use them up unless I'm actually being productive.
Alpaca farm open house was last weekend, I went to friend Terry's gorgeous spread in Petersham and did spinning demos both days. Such a good time! Her animals are delightful, her fleeces are so clean, and everyone there was totally nice. also, T makes killer mulled cider & chicken soup. the weather couldn't have been more perfect. She's been hand dyeing her mill-spun yarns and she has a crazy brilliant talent for color.
Met a lady who is 1. a realtor 2. from the area of Maine to which we're moving 3. specializing in farm-country-acreage properties 4. a big ol horse person 5. really cool.
Feels like destiny is pinchin my butt.
Andy replaced the porch screens and it looks so snappy.
I've been arting but not listing a damned thing. I will shortly. I'm stockpiling and learning new stuff. It happens.
