Life is good
I love it when things seem to be going pretty well and you have a general sense of awesome, even if you can't put your finger on it. Despite various stresses I am occasionally suffering, nice things have a way of sneaking up on me in a surprising way. Generally, I just have a tremendous sense of well-being.
Incongruously, I will spend this ( Read more... ) -
May Days
Apparently each day in May 2008 gets a special designation. From whom, I don't know, but if you are on Facebook, you will have received many invites.

I've had the weirdest sleeping patterns the last week or so, mostly because I am busy trying to get things done or procrastinating about the same. Bad me.
Right now, I am overdue/behind for many things and I need to get them done. Tomorrow (by which I mean today) is not a terribly busy day, so I will have to MAKE myself do all my looming items.

Birthday!
Woah, I ate too much. Again.
Since I lost so much weight three-ish years ago, I still haven't managed to have a good control on my portioning, or whatever. My eyes still ask for more food than my stomach can manage, and afterwards all I want to do is lie around like a torpid snake. Ugh.
But tonight, it was the birthday of a friend in my Bible ( Read more... ) -
Stuffs
The moon was a GIANT orange wedge in the sky, hanging still over a very clear and bright Vancouver. So beautiful.
