Even the usually busy LJ has been a dearth of entries!
Eh. I dunno, I’m so busy in my head that I guess I’ve lost the will to write as much as I used to.
How about a catch all post? That is something I don’t do much, but at this juncture, I think it’s really called for! Here’s a list of the random things I’ve been up to, in no particular order:
– I’ve been unhappy with my eating/drinking/smoking routine. I’m about to change all that up drastically. I’m tired of being fat and the only way to not be fat is to stop overeating and drinking alcohol and get back to the Kathy Smith Exercise Bitch DVDs every morning. Here goes nothing…
– The smoking needs to be cut back. I’ve peaked with it as high as it’s ever been for the last year. It’s got to get back to one a day or something like that. And no more binges of smoking a pack at a time. That’s just silly. I’m currently at 2-3 packs a week and that’s simply too much. (I smoke Djarum Vanillas for those of you who don’t know – and they are BAD BAD BAD for you.)
– I built a fenced area for my bird feeders and bird bath. I’m sick of Bernadette eating my birds, so this is an experiment to see if a barrier will keep her out. She’s a climber, but I don’t think she’ll climb this flimsy fence. Even if she does, I think it’ll still give the birds time to get away. We’ll see.
– We’re doing postcards for the postcard show at Mint Gallery in December. I’m doing photography, poetry and some Chinese calligraphy if I can do anything that looks halfway decent. Nick is doing photography and something hand drawn, Emily is gonna do a card or two and even Heather is going to do a couple of things. Anyone else who wants to join us, please drop me a line! It’s non juried and NOT restricted to “real” artists. Deadline is the day of the show, which is Dec 8 or 9 – I’ll have to get the exact date from Mint. :-)
– There’s been some emotional juking and jiving going on lately, too. We’ve got friends who are going through changes and struggles and it’s hard to not get somewhat affected. I’m faring OK with bouts of irritation and/or concern but Nick is taking waaaaay too much of this on as his personal load. Which of course is causing some strife between us. ::sigh:: An astrological forecast that I read today pointed out: “Scorpio, you must find a balance between the Warrior and the Lover within you. It may seem impossible from where you stand now, but I know you can do it. ” Uh, yah. Well that makes one of him.
– I feel a bit disconnected all ’round. This time of year is always challenging for me and it looks like this year is no exception. ::bigger sigh::
– I mentioned the number 8 in a previous post and that we’re coming up on an 8 year. While that is true, it’s not truly accurate. To get more info on numerology, go here. I highly recommend numerology as a guide. I like astrololgy, but it’s far fuzzier than numerology, which is simple addition. I’ve used it for my name, my company name, my address and other things with success…
That’s it for today. I’ve managed to while away my morning with this and assing around the interweb. I’ve got to get cleaned up and over to the restaurant. Ciao.
