Days [nights] off and stuff
I have always such great plans for my days [nights] off. I'll get caught up on sleep. Pack a lot of boxes. Clean. Visit with friends. Write. Dance with one hand waving free.
So instead I pick up an extra night. Or stay up overnight online or with friends IRL or family. Or go to bed but don't sleep so well. Or sleep fine but have over-scheduled the next day and so get behind that way.
Well, yanno what?
nonsense.
SO, since I got off work Sunday at half-past six am, I've: slept 5 hours. Gotten up, been online and been busy at my desk. Packed three boxes, carried them out to the car. Dumped the trash. Been to dinner at friends' house [wonderful meal, grand company]. Been to the market to get the goods for my chicken soup because I know there's a cold trying to get me and I don't want it to. Come home, spent time with my adopted son-on-line. Found and posted a poem. Gone to bed, slept [restlessly] about 4/6 hours.
Gotten up, had breakfast with the friends. Come online, suddenly able to write like crazy-- rough draft of about 1500 words for a story. Packed 4 boxes. Shredded three bags of old financial stuff. Took 10 bags and two boxes of VHS tapes [some of them with the book the movie came from rubber banded to them] to my bank which does a $1/ sale, all the money going to The Human Race [this year for Breast Cancer Research]. Refilled the car with boxes to go to storage.
Did two intutive-healing readings, one for my intuitive and one for a friend.
Hung out online with family and beloveds and friends. Made my chicken soup [chicken, lemongrass, ginger, garlic, onion, green pepper, turmeric, a bit of cinnamon, salt, pepper] and divvied it up for meals this week. Had lunch and dinner. Listened to my friend paulabm's radio show Vision Queer on Radio Mente Abierta from Mexico City [love the freakin' internet radio]. Edited parts of The little AU. Read all the stories for mome_awards and voted.
I struggle, yanno? Because none of this today /seems/ like it's enough to be working toward getting moved- and yet my life's so much lighter tonight than it was this time last night. so.
And now here it is, just after 10pm. I'm aching to stay up and wait for my Europeans to come online, but my body's aching for me to tuck it in. So I'm going to go do that, and see how long it can sleep for before it's too much of a struggle. Lots of love to all of you.
