bloody hell.

first, I want to apologize to you for instilling in you, and your sister and brother, this burning need to question everything. In some situations this is a good quality, but when applied to EVERYTHING it definitely engenders a good bit of anxiety. I do this to myself. There's something else I do to myself that I can't quite parse out yet, but it causes heaps of anxiety. I have way too much time to think. I try to circumvent this 'thinking' thing by reading alot, but not with doing stuff. Stuff that I know for sure, when I'm doing it, makes me so creatively satisfied. I don't yet understand why I veer off and avoid doing these things. It's like there's something in my brain that acts like the Berlin wall. We all know life would be so much better if it was gone, but it stubbornly, illogically still exists.

ok, that said, questioning my desire to have a wireless connection is actually a good thing. I don't know why I want it. yes, I have a cable and phone wire trailing down the hallway, so what. it's almost as though I look for something to drag my time and attention away from things that would bring me so much more satisfaction. I don't know, it's all procrastination methods honed to a fine point. I just don't know why I can't get past or even around this blockade.

please let me know if you need.....

the girls are waiting to hear from you.

the election.

it occurred to me this evening, while watching this election, that an enormous quantity of life changing events have populated my life. and it also occurs to me that all of these events are fodder for....drum roll....stories!!! yes. what else was happening when these BIG things were happening? uh huh. you go girl...as soon as the pain is medicated away.

fibromyalgia

girl, you're beginning to get on my nerves...........

Grant's Farm felt the holocaust email I sent was anti-muslim. geez. whatever.
ok, I'm now the owner of the biggest microwave oven in the world. Jenine, thank you for leaving me the wheely cart, without which the transport of said mic oven would have been impossible.
why do I always feel as though there is no personality in my head? like, even though the person I am is so very evident, I still feel like I'm an empty vessel. whatever, geez.

sears!

ok, so, the microwave I bought at Target was dented in three places, the little feet were wobbly and the damn thing got HOT on top. going to return it tomorrow, and go pick up my new sears kenmore microwave oven. yeah, sears. this feels like the longest day ever.still crazy warm, I'm wearing shorts!

I have no idea what I've been doing this morning, I swear. But now I'm going to buy a microwave courtesy of my daughters. daughters are good.

evening November 1.

and now it's evening, the sliding door is still open, and it's a magical time. the arms are done for the mermaid. pearls for this girl. Ross called. he's so very down. he just can't stop feeling sorry for himself and get up and do something. I'm hungry and I want to watch my netflix movie. no, I don't know what it is. going to go and buy a microwave. both daughters have offered to pay for it. love those girls. time to scramble some eggs. I'm tired and scratchy voiced.

well, got rid of the hindu script. that was very disconcerting. I've been able to digest and file the problem with work. it's mortifying yes, but it's $5. pain in my left shoulder and arm. is this muscle strain? I danced for a bit to the garden of gorgeous language. hard not to. went downtown for veggies. baked squash and sweet potatoes and big carrots, really sweet. one was breakfast as well. I lost 6 pounds,doing nothing. could be the veggies. certainly not exercise. got a bit heartsick looking at pictures of the kids. got the itunes on and am actually going to spend the rest of the day pushing forward my own personal agenda. love you MA.
