Hey there, all...
Yesterday, it was around 70 degrees outside, not a cloud in the sky, absolutely bee-yootiful weather. Today, it's going to sink below freezing and it's a fine mixture of snow/sleet/rain that's absolutely ruined any chance at all for mini-golf today.
What the hell?
Set up regular cab service today. The driver I got today was a lady named Ruth, really nice chatty sort of person in that fine Arkansas waitress tradition. I hope she'll be a regular driver, she's pretty cool. :)
Went home, took a nap, then got up and did absolutely nothing yesterday. Still, it seemed busy. Read a little bit, daydreamed about a few things I should put together, and talked to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tyrnn at length about Boomer Express. We connected well, I think, and now I understand a bit about how he works, wants things, etc. I'm optimistic about the project again. :)
Been thinking a lot about Buddhism and spirituality in general, and I'm piecing together an opinion about a thing or two. It'll get posted elsewhere as soon as I get enough things together to voice them.
I'm seriously thinking about getting a budgie for myself. They can be great if you get them young and form a bond with them. I think the ones that2_gryphon has are a bit too old and traumatized to really get used to people very well. And they don't like it when I wear nail polish. <:) I've been reading up on them at the Bookshop, and they sound like wonderful companions to have...but we'll have to wait until my finances settle down before I can *seriously* think about that.
This weekend I'll be researching the Black Plague (again) so I can get started on the short story for Historimorphs. It's amazing what a little digging will turn up; I'll be sure to include any interesting tidbits I find (again). :) I also have to get all the poetry together so I can print it off and send it to the Aux Arc Review. I'm not actually *expecting* to win the chapbook, but there's always hope...
One problem that I've faced continually is a lack of focus. Now that I've dealt with a lot of other things that I needed to get rid of or channel, I think it's my biggest issue. If I could just stick with something enough to follow through on it, if I could dedicate myself to actually translating a thought or a vision onto paper, life would be that much better. I'm still trying to think of ways to work on it, but I'm so danged impulsive and (relatively) easily distracted. Blah. :)
Came back from Orlando to find the Gardening section completely straightened, and a lot of other sections looking much nicer than I left them. I've been interviewing Heidi and Bernadette to see exactly what it is that I should be doing differently to make clean up my sections; I'm still muddling through the messes Jeremy left behind, when they should be done already. I got a few good pointers, so things should go more smoothly in the meantime.
Hmm, piecemeal journal posts.
