Still settling in.
So. I've been up all night after sleeping away the afternoon after being up almost all night. Obsession 1 Sanity 0. I've spent this night prowling LJ entries and writing a not-so-mini biography section for my profile page. M-- added me to her friends' list and quickly made some icons for me. Ch-- should be up soon, the birds are singing and I'm not particularly tired. I suppose I'll sleep after he gets off to school.
I saw sisters J-- & D-- today at Mom's apartment. A sad, tough day. We're all bullying/coaxing an almost 80 year old woman into an eye surgery she doesn't want...and I don't know what 'right action' is in the situation. It was nice to see the sisters though.
I'm collecting too many "friends" as I wander around reading. Highlights of this evening's hunt include a cats vs roomba story (which I added to my memories section) and some fine, clean writing by some of the people listing magical realism as an interest. Those entries, however, stung a bit. Thus far I'm simply babbling in this space. Is this a journal or a forum? Am I writing letters or essays? How do I transition from diary to memoir? From detailing random observations to using detail and observation in order to illustrate a non-random idea? I want to transform the minutiae of my life into prose ...
It will come. And now the boy boy has awakened.
