Hey there, all...
Life is throwing the usual ups and downs, so that everything is balancing out to a happy medium. Nothing's too great, but nothing's too bad, either. I guess right now my mood matches the overall mixed nature of this past week.
Blackfeather is still down, and he'll be around until Wednesday morning. He was quite an awesome birthday present! :) However, as much as I like him, I just don't know where we'll be going. To be honest, I don't really *know* him, and as sweet as he is, I'm not sure how compatible we are.
I still really like him, though. He deserves better than what I'm prepared to give.
I sprung for a seperate phone line on Friday. They told me I could expect a technician to be there by Tuesday, but as I was leaving for work today he was already at the house! That was the good news; the bad news is they'll have to run another cable from the nearest street pole to our house...and they have no idea how long that'll take. So...while I still have a second phone line that is in complete working order...I have no way of accessing it right now. Grr. Almost.
We grilled burgers yesterday evening, and that went well. For some reason, I really liked the feel of raw meat pressing into my hands while I was shaping the patties. It was this really weird, squishy feel, and the fat kind of...stuck to my skin after a while, but it was kind of cool in a surprising, freakish way. :) And the burgers turned out well, too.
Haven't been writing nearly as much as I'd like; actually coughed up the Boomer Express stuff late, which really frustrates me. Tyrnn is a really great guy and I don't want to screw him up, especially since he's good friends with a lot of other people who have been writing comics a lot longer than I have. The sense of inadequacy in our professional relationship bleeds over quite a bit into our personal relationship, I think, and I'm freaking a little that I'm screwing over all my friends by trying to be all things to all people. I should lay low for a bit after Blackfeather leaves; I really do need time to myself, to grow creatively and personally.
Work is good today; we *found* the order that had been missing since Wednesday, and it got shipped off today. I'm very very relieved that we found it before Charles got back from the Book Fair; it wouldn't do to have another screw-up, you know?
Tonight, there's the Meeting, and I think afterwards me and Blackfeather are going to brainstorm about the Spirituality Track for MFM. I *still* have to make an outline for Spirituality 101; I want to make it informative, but interesting...but not in a generic way. :)
I hate being broke. <:)
