Still here, but why nothing earlier?
I took another writing class. My journaling has turned into daily freewriting which is rather incoherent. I've also gotten annoyed with LJ only displaying the past 30 entries or so. So anything approaching life updates has gone to www.psychotropek.net/blog where I have all the control. Sorry for the confusion, those who still read here.I recovered ( Read more... ) -
his bony hands will do you no harm
My surgery recovery went smoothly, and I read a ton of books and got some writing done for fun (best discovery was Rachel Bach's Paradox series). Yay amateur/hobbyism! I also discovered Volbeat, the band which is Danish rockabilly metal. You heard that right ( Read more... ) -
surgery recovery after a move: not best idea
Never pack and move within a week! The stress built and burst. My mood was everywhere. Our sofa didn't fit up the stairs of the new place, so we got new modular furniture that we can take apart ( Read more... ) -
what happens to us if we don't get there?
...and so, you know the question of where to live? Solved! Or something. My landlord is selling our place, so we needed a new one. We found about the intent two weeks ago. He preferred we move out early, but we had until end of April if we wanted to ( Read more... ) -
and they covered up the sun until the birds had flown away
Carmel is a very cute little town with a beautiful beach. It was January, but plenty of people were on the sand playing. I sat in the sun and talked, walked. Paradise.

some sacrifices seem trivial
I'm thinking of declaring a no-activity winter. I was thinking of taking a writing class but it may just be too much. Monday 7-9 with some writing assignments. I may also drop singing lessons for a while, especially with speech therapy issues. I want to see if I can make it through the winter unscathed with as few stressors as possible.

Thanksgiving's coming up, so I'll make pumpkin bread, hummus, kale, and sweet potatoes. We're having many guests which makes me super excited. Yay humans ( Read more... ) -
turn your world around and focus on the mind
The esthetician's recommendations were spot on. No more peeling, and I haven't even done the exfoliant yet. Clean with Cetaphil or equivalent cleanser, use a toner, slather moisturizer on face (cetaphil at night, something with spf in morning). No fancy stuff, and I don't do it twice a day like is apparently ideal. I got John to do it too because ( Read more... )
