busy. realignment.
About a week ago, I put myself on the couch and made it a point to lay there, empty-minded, for about 30 minutes. It was really nice. The novelty of the experience, however, has me a bit worried. I may need to make a it a point to put my ass on the couch more often. October's calendar is looking pretty ugly, but then there's Halloween and a much calmer November.
An ugly economy and a real need to start working on extending community is prompting us to move into a smaller, cheaper place in November. I'll miss the forest (even the spiders and slugs) right outside my window, and the quiet, but not the overcrowded parking lot and higher rent. It'll be good to have two sets of friends within stumbling distance of home, too. To top it off, I see a real garden (to supplement the farm share) in the future.
so, to recap what's in flux:
housing, relationship(s), work, money, other work, and school.
I'm not bitching - I'm down with change, at least in theory. I am definitely feeling that there's been some kind of deep, axial shift in my guts. If nothing else, life is more interesting than it was a month ago.
