Miscellanea
Dec. 6th, 2002 04:43 pmWell, I kinda wish I hadn’t found out the cause of the power outage-- an 18 year old girl just had to go see her boyfriend in spite of the snow Monday night, and was in a hurry, and hit a power pole hard enough to snap it off. (No, she didn’t make it.)
I’ve been having a big post-depression surge of energy-- got my Christmas music mostly planned, did some major housecleaning, starting to decorate and shop, have even exercised the last few days. The good news is that my very careful exercise doesn’t make the ankle hurt any worse than usual; the bad news is that after a year of not being able to move around much, my very light warmup and stretch routine is enough to make the rest of my body ache!
Night before last, I didn’t sleep well. Fell back asleep in the morning after hubby and kid left. When I woke again, I didn’t want to practice.... didn’t want to do anything I was supposed to do. So I stopped and thought about what I really wanted to do.... and spent the day reading, exercising, getting the Christmas stuff out, embroidering, etc. Needed that.
Recent visitors to the window birdfeeder: cardinals, two woodpeckers (a hairy and a downy), and juncos, as well as the usual titmice, nuthatches and chickadees.
After spending a long time dealing with the generally anti-Christianity atmosphere on #callahans, plus working things out with someone who told me I should post more about my religious beliefs (we’ve worked that out, together).... anyway, I’ve suddenly realized that some of you (including that same person!) are actually interested in hearing about my religious ideas. So you may be seeing a bit more of such stuff here in the future (including a soon-to-be-written mini-rant tonight sometime.) The stick made me snarl... the carrot is looking rather tasty.
