a quiet and uneventful day, today.
just finished enjoying a wonderful herb-baked chicken with half a potato, and treated myself to a small dish of breyers and hersheys. heh. it is a rare thing i can eat sweets, as they usually send me to sleep in short order. but it is the first solid, ‘full’ meal that i’ve had in about two months, and i felt it worth a bit of dessert.
i wait for the offer that i now know will come, and begin to sketch out plans for the move. i am enthused, excited, and happy. i was talking with a firm in seattle, but they will likely not make a decision before my own deadline arrives, and frankly, the thought of a florida winter trumps at this moment.
i content myself with the knowledge that the north west is not going anywhere and if or when i am supposed to get to it, i will.
i am now on book three of the ‘crown of stars’ series, having forced myself to take it in chunks so as not to make the purchase by my friend a waste of money. it remains predictable, but is not unenjoyable reading. a nice escape.
i save the book of koans for florida. planning a weekend on the beach to enjoy and savor them. likely will take along the record for thoughts to set here.
i am also reading ‘training the mind’ by trungpa in short bursts. it remains comforting that much of what i find is already known. confirmation is a soft and wonderful thing. i am thankful for the many ways these things come together.
hah. i’m interrupted in this by zen. she has these small toys, fluffballs really, that have become like ‘babies’ to her. she carts them around in her mouth and ‘defends’ them from kharma, and, more often than not, gets herself into trouble for bathing them in the water dispenser and then, dragging them… sopping and ‘clean’ all over the kitchen.
i heard the soft splatting sounds of yet another bath time and the poor toy she has finally ruined by opening a seam as she dunked it in the water.
one down. about six to go. *chuckle*
anyway… a quiet night. a comfortable night. a good meal and now, off to read some more.
