I haven't posted lately, been feeling down and seriously lacking in energy. Also, I have a bird perched on my head a lot, warming her cold little toes in my hair, so it makes doing anything difficult (and who wants to disturb such a cutie when she has a foot tucked and is making happy grinding noises?).
Things are unsettled today, Karen's work has started laying people off, not as in a temporary, we'll hire you back after the economy picks up, way, but in a you're politely fired sort of way. Reducing headcount I guess. Karen survived the culling, she got a call from the CEO/President to tell her how much she is valued, even though they dismiss what she says. It's more that nobody else has the knowledge and ability to run things like she does, and the president doesn't have time. Her sister, who also works there, got the ax. But for now we are fine.
The last week I've been having some stomach upset, eating mostly bland foods, and a bit of a downturn. I'm having trouble being interested in doing anything. I tried painting some models, but was just disgusted with the results. Maybe I could start on another necklace, but I have nobody who needs one. And I'm kinda feeling what's the point. Very low energy. Ended up watching some episodes of the new Battlestar Galactica, which while is a very impressive show, I disliked a large portion of it because of the constant human drama, it's very dark tones, and that all the characters seem to keep doing stupid things. And they talk a lot but never say things that are important until it's a crisis. I'm more a devotee of the original BSG, despite it being late 70's/early 80's camp and ridiculousness, but there's a constant positive message.
Karen's father (her parents are just down the road from us) finally made a couple of masks for us, rather than giving them all away this time. So now I have a red paisley mask to wear grocery shopping.
But enough about me. How are you doing? Anything fun or interesting happening to you? Or anything you want to talk about? I'm definitely here for you. Sending you all much love and hugs. Take care of yourselves. MWAH!
