Today was a busy day, starting with taking Jerome to his visitation at the DHS offices in Charlotte (about a 30 min drive away), and then lunch, going to see a couple of apartment complexes. Then off to a check up for me -- yearly physical -- and then to the school district office to get Luke registered for 6th grade

I find talking it thru a great way to start a story or an outline or an article or a song or general brainstorming -- used to get a lot of mileage out of my tape recorder during commutes and road trips.

[pickledginger]

Sounds as if you had a busy day!

[ljgeoff]

Yep. But it was good to get all that done. Tomorrow, Jerome and I will fill out the apartment applications -- oi, I have to write the 30 day notice letter to his old landlord (he still has the apartment, but is afraid to go back 'cause there are some guys after him); I keep forgetting about that letter -- and we have the application from the sheltered work place, too.

Fourteen days 'till I start my new job.

I also called the Marquette DHS guy. He said that he hadn't got to my request yet, but hopes to by the end of the week.

re: talking it through -- I've been thinking about it a lot, but it's just gone in circles. Writing it out made a big difference. I don't really understand it, because the writing is my thoughts, but it really does make a difference.

Sometimes thinking 'out loud' helps tons!! I bounce things off of Lone all the time and find steadiness and clearer paths.

*HUGS*

And dammit, I need to 'answer' your letter and get stuffs pulled together for collab. Sorry I suck here of late, lol!!

[ljgeoff]

You do not suck. You are made of awesome. You shine.

I know that things are peculating. Were you thinking of critting Grants story? I sent my crit out last night. Do you want to see it?

[a_phoenixdragon]

Silly, lol!! You are too kind, m'love. And omg, busy *feels exhausted now* *grins*

Awesome woman.

Send it. Haven't read his yet, wondering still what I could possibly contribute to this epicness...

[ljgeoff]

What can you contribute? Are you kidding? Besides a whole 'nuther set of eyes, you would contribute a piece of soul. Emotion, reaction, the touch of lips. I expect wonders from you because you are fantastic.

Read Grant's story first, and then I'll send my crit. Fresh eyes.

Heh. The reason I'm into shamanism is that I live in a different reality than most folks (though in a less dramatic way that is suggested by that wording :-) ), and I had to learn to step in and out of each reality as needed. That's actually a definition of shamanism in some cultures (or, some cultures' definition of shamanism could be squeezed into that box).

[ljgeoff]

Which totally fits with this story. And gives me an idea. Wow, this story might get written after all.

Thank you!
