i have been staying up waaay too late recently. sleeping in too late as well. i’ve got the ends of the day all snarled up. coffee at noon as i pop out more resumes and consider various options. late night conversations with distant friends who suddenly find me awake when they are (time zones being what they are, you know).

laid down to take a nap, as is common before the weekend gathering. and, as is common of late, had a dream that has just now awakened me. couldn’t get to the computer right away, had to do something, so instead, took the hand-held recorder to catch it and now, some minutes later, back to the machine, transcribe it here.

just waking, pre-coffee, i see the sky is overcast. fitting, that.

have stayed up entirely too long, spent entirely too much time distracting myself, and now, fuzzy-minded and drowsy, trying to get my thoughts in order enough to say something here before sleeping.

sitting here listening to Conjure One, slowly going through moments and memories of this year, preparing to release some to the universe, carefully archive others, and set a few into a mental vase for continued enjoyment.

well. today is a day of strange happenings all the way around. earlier this afternoon, i receive a call from a good friend telling me they will not be around much anymore, needing to redirect focus to things in proximity.

strange happening as i went to run errands and fill the gas tank. i’ve been going to the same station for some time now… the folks that run it are Buddhist, we talk now and then as i’m in line or when it is slow for them.

waking early, coffee in hand, i’m chuckling over certain changes noted and the things they say of those who still waste effort trying to bother.

elsewhere, a pundit asked the question, ‘what would Trump do?’ the question was in regard to the many contradictions that striate our society. how we speak of charity but are so often uncharitable. among other things. the discussion engaged, my thoughts brought from there to here, for later contemplation….

spent most of yesterday gaping at my computer in astonishment as it slowly fell apart. power supply fried. i’m lucky it didn’t burn everything into a misshapen, plastic lump. it managed to take out my agp slot in the process. for a time, i thought it had damaged more… but without video, no way to know.
