Feeling far better right now, simply because I took some further steps in the on-going roof repair saga. I read through the two (2) recent letters from the insurance company, formulated my questions, and after trying to call my claims adjuster again to talk about things, finally just wrote and sent her an email with my questions. Ball's in their ( Read more... )

Whining below. Feel free to skip. Helped a bit to get it out, so I'll post it here for posterity. ( Read more... )

Seems lately as if I spend many mornings pulling myself out of the fantods. Sure, it's an upsetting time, and we're going on nearly a year of various levels of lock-down, blahblahblah I know there's good reason for feeling punk, but it's not my usual bubbly self and I really don't care for it.

For a project I began nearly a year back, I take ( Read more... )

Finding myself in a bit of a funk(y mood). It's late and I'm really not sure why I'm up now. Things aren't working out as expected/anticipated this weekend. Feeling at a bit of a loss right now. Exhaustion may account for at least some of it. Hoping to get to sleep before long.

Yeah, I know I declared myself a non-fan of ODAAT, but apparently today it's how I'm wired. Yesterday was good, but exhausting. I enjoyed 4 different social get-togethers, plus emptied 5 of the 10 boxes of carp from the upstairs dorm room ( Read more... )

At times the past few days all I've wanted to do is curl up and sleep, but I don't really wanna slide down that Rabbit Hole o' Despair/Sadness. Felt fully exhausted last night though, so crawled into bed a bit before 11pm. Woke up not long after 1am, and really didn't fall back asleep again, although I may've dozed a bit. Finally got up sometime ( Read more... )

Sooner or later (but not far along enough in the future as far as I'm concerned) a Dear Friend will die of cancer (or something related). It's gonna suck. IT = jaylake's death and the whole process leading up to it ( Read more... )

Been feeling really good recently. Enjoying socializing - both out and at home - lots. Also balancing getting settled in here at Hive Magnum w/spending time out in Nature. Day before yesterday, I took a friend for a fine music and laughter and conversation-filled Toad Rip to Breitenbush. We got to soak lots - mostly having the pools all to ( Read more... )

It's as if I've been asleep, or zombified, or somehow not really all here, or not quite myself, or something, for ages now. Finally - and at long last - I'm feeling more like myself...or perhaps simply just feeling MORE. Cannot easily describe it. But it's quite positive ( Read more... )

Have spent the past several days mostly locally, just doing regular, everyday things, sometimes on my own, sometimes w/a friend or two or several. Finding myself more often than not w/smile on my face and joy in my heart along the way. Nada particularly special need be going on for this to happen. Simple things're often happy-making things, such ( Read more... )
