hmmm, it's update time, i s'pose.
It's past 2 pm and I'm still lingering in bed. I have virtually no work lined up this week, which is a blessing of sorts in that I get some much needed time to relax, but the loss of income always makes me a little nervous. Still, it's better to embrace the blessing than swim in the fear.
So, I'm still in bed. I did get clothed a few hours back and fed the cat, but not much else. The house is a little cold, but not enough so to inspire a fire. I opened a curtain, laid down and opened the laptop. Facecrack, the news and SG stole away so many hours, though surprising little sunbreaks poured through my window and warmed my toes, somehow making me feel like I'm doing something significant. The sun is a lovely thing that way. It lit up my room when I woke. Before I even opened my eyes, I could feel it, and I smiled. In two hours it will again be dark. I keep telling myself I need to get up earlier, but even when I've tried, the almost perpetually overcast winter sky made it feel like I was never really quite awake but just sleepwalking in some surreally mundane dream. So, a little sunshine does seem significant, even if for just forty three seconds or so. In those moments, my melatonin takes a nap, and I become awake and aware. Suddenly the nuances are distinct rather than so muddled and muted.
And again the grey clouds thicken, my toes huddle beneath a blanket and my thoughts wander off to seek the sun.
Anyway...
netflix has been kind lately...
and... (the official trailer doesn't do it justice)
(i kinda like the subtitles)
and...
...they're all streaming
I feel like I ought to be going out more, but the musical offerings, for whatever reason, have been just so enh lately (either that, or they conflict with the papa gig ...case in point: Cat Power in pdx). So, it's movies and listening to music at home, meditating by the woodstove and getting creative in the kitchen. Of course, that's just for the times when I'm not either working or having my kids. Work is quickly losing its charm, making me dream more of brewing ciders (i'm happy to see cider culture blossoming again ...just wish I had been in a financial position to make it happen back when I knew it was all about to take off). And the papa gig, is always amazing ...even when my soul is suffocated by driving and cleaning
...I don't write much of them here, my kids, but rest assured, they rock my world.
okay, i'm about done rambling for today. Tomorrow is december and that big solstice is creeping ever closer. I'm so down for a return of the light.
be well out there

And getting away to have coffee/tea with you last weekend helped (even if I was a still really rattled and a little out of it). And of course it was just nice being able to sit and chat for a bit
