Long Tall Weekend
Webb Wilder on Thursday night, costume assembly on Friday (along with introducing Northwall to Carl Sagan's Cosmos), pumpkin carving, trick-or-treating, and Beans Baton on Saturday; we're exhausted. Thank goodness we get an additional virtual hour to sleep in tomorrow morning.
A few weeks back I decided to dress as the old man (Carl) from Pixar's "Up". I found decent enough clothes to match his early 20th century formal dullness, and added a huge box shaped head made from cardboard and color print-out's of Carl's features.
I spent Sunday in a bit of a haze. Despite weird stress and low energy Aurora and I have gone a number of days without an argument. Instead we seem to be in one of those 'we're falling in love again' places. Luckily nobody feels left out by that a the moment. Having things working between everyone isn't that unusual, but when it's all working and I'm in an 'up' energy place it feels so good I kind of loose myself in the awesome.
And really: I should be more worried. I've been somewhat annoyed by the large number of break-ups and subsequent rancor hanging in the air in my social network. Luckily nothing has come to a head as a result, but I live in constant worry over people who have broken up crossing paths, and I hate feeling like there are sides after a break-up. I've worked hard in my own life to create a system where one or the other person choosing not to continue being in a 'relationship' doesn't mean civil conduct and good times are out the door along with sex and snogging. Obviously it doesn't always work out way, even if you try your damnedest, but I stand by what I see as a relatively good record on that front.
This week will be filled with LOTS of busy fussing for me. Huge loads of paperwork, bills, and finishing up all sots of artwork all lurk in the shadows of the forthcoming days. Good thing I'm feeling up to the challenge for once.
