I’ll preface this by saying that yes, actually, something quite important has changed. I’m not real sure when it happened, but this is the proof. — On Sun, Mar 14, 2010 at 4:34 AM, <******> wrote: If you’re receiving this … I love you … I love you enough for you to be in a circle of people that I’ve I’ve either held onto or searched out.

Now I know this probably won’t be funny to anyone but me, but I’m sitting here just about to weep from laughing over the last day’s antics. Suffice to say, you know you’re spending entirely too much time at home when a simple introductory effort sends you revving off into the weeds; making mad “doughnuts” for no reason at all. Hah! I remember a time when such a thing would have been purely impossible, so mind you, I’m not complaining. But, in typical fashion, I haven’t enough sense to squirrel myself away. Oh no, not me. I just bust out […]

In an odd and unexpected turn of events, I find that I am out of synch. It doesn’t happen often at all these days, so it kind of took me by surprise. Usually, blood, brain, and being are in quite a wonderful harmony; each leveraging nicely off the alignment of the others and All Things In Their Right Place. I’m just figuring it out (sparked by writing elsewhere that I was having trouble doing so, which is a good sign as it means things are already working their way back to harmony); I had an unexpected reaction to a combination […]

Funny how life is sometimes. I very rarely think about the things I’m about to spill but, on occasion, I am reminded in oddly pointed ways and when I am, I think about it, and, inevitably, I feel exactly the way I am feeling. I’ll preface this by a bit of history. Once upon a time, I was… different. I suppose by cultural standards, I was “better”, but I don’t see it that way. (Well, ok, sometimes I do, but mostly in that “sour grape” way that doesn’t really matter.) I had a routine, I kept to it, and I […]

Hah. There’s nothing quite like making a declarative statement to bring life around to show you that it’s almost always unwise to do so. (Oops.) Looks like I lied about the house hunt being over, but only because three houses have turned up that are in the area, in the price range, and actually liveable inside. So. Friday morning, on the ferry yet again, and off to see them. Perhaps an offer? Too soon to feel as if I know and I’m beginning to figure out it may be best not to say or consider, just be and do. (Do […]

Thanks to an unexpected downward bump in the annual bonus and having the last house owner on my list reject my best offer, the house hunt is now, officially, off. Instead, I’ll be using the windfall to pay off debt and repair a few things in need on the car. I had hoped to have enough to pay off the car and leftover to deal with closing and a move. With a wry grin I say, “So much for hoping.” It’s hardly the end of the world. Just the (perhaps temporary) end of this particular dream for this particular period of […]

Change is afoot; good thing I’m comfortable with it. The (2nd) house in Port Orchard was a disappointment, but I found one in Shoreline that prompted an offer. So… hurry up and wait once more, but this time, without regrets. We’ll see. Bored for the remainder of the day being empty and me, stuck with sitting on funds in anticipation of more than trying to get a house. Meh. Perhaps it’s nap time? A book? Domestic chores? Nothing really snags the attention (well, what does can’t be more than thought of….. or so I am supposing). Not much else to […]

T-minus ten minutes to departure. Heh. Feels like going to work did when I first started out here; enthused, happy, excited. I like the feeling. More later. Perhaps even video. We’ll see. :)
