i thought she was in trouble, but she was only having fun.
back on elicia's computer. something funky is happening to the other one. maybe it's in a funk. only trevor could know. elicia is at flute practice and i'm in her room. i shut the door to keep archie out. he likes to sit right in front of the screen and groom. "excuse me, can you do that somewhere else?". he glances at me unperturbed and get's on with washing his 2000 parts. he was bugging like this on saturday too. we were watching a movie and i was organizing my knitting needles. (yes i was organizing my knitting needles! you don't know how they needed organization. i have about a billion because i get so much from the thrift store at work. anytime they get needles in, they give them to me and i greedily take them. i have sizes 2/34-13 in normal needles, i have sizes 2-9 in double point and i have around the same in circulars. and i have many multiples in most sizes.) so anyways as i was saying before confronted with your doubts, i was organizing the needles and archie and izzy, his accomplice, had to be sitting or sleeping or streching over them in some way. i would push them away and tell them to get lost, but they just kept coming back. why are cats this way? why?
yesterday was my day of productivity. it could be my only one this week. i did my laundry, cleaned the kitchen, changed the kitty litter, folded my clothes and put them away (that's a real accomplishment let me tell you) and even worked on my room for a while. today i did the dishes. that's it. i didn't even make supper. i don't feel like it. can't be bothered, as graham would say when asked why he didn't have lunch. too much of a nuisance says graham.
i brought a pomegranit to work for breakfast and worked at excavating the ruby jewels during the morning meetings. i like to eat them one by one. lisa m said she likes to scoop it all out with a spoon all at once. "that's the way it's done." nodded bruce. but i like my way. "that's your meditation." said lisa m. and laughed. she said i was all calm and happy picking my pom seeds. she pointed out that it took me one hour to eat a whole pommie. i guess it is kind of a meditation. i like doing it. i didn't even mind that i got a spray of juice on my white shirt. it's the price you sometimes have to pay for the ruby jeweled goodness of a pom-a-gran.
heather and i ran today and it was harder than yesterday, but yesterday was supposed to be the hardest. but yesterday it was raining and i often find running in the rain easier. that day we were sopping, soaking drenched through and through. i took my pants off at the front door to avoid rivers of waters trailing after me. today i was just too tired. but i was glad to have done it in the end. isn't that often the way?
leif sat with us during sunday school and seemed more relaxed. elicia asked him to come over for supper, but he couldn't but he suggested we "go somewhere" on friday. so we are. we're going to masala, a greek/indian place. trust leif to find a place like that. he phoned yesterday to give us the details and we chatted for a while. basically that means he told me some of what was going on with his schooling and i asked about some of the faculty i remember. it was alright. maybe we can be casual friends after all. i don't think i'll ever be as gung-ho, trusting and naive as i was before. it's kind of sad that that believing stars in her eyes girl is gone. but i guess we all grow up sometime, even late bloomers like me.
elicia and i watched heros last night. she didn't like it much, but i kind of did. we didn't really know what was going on though.
a problem i have: i lost the list of who has who for christmas presents. this isn't a problem for those who were there and drew their own but for those who weren't there, it is a problem and i haven't told any of those people who they have and maybe they'll think it's too late and i'm a bad bad bad bad coordinator this year! katie do you remember who you drew for and who they got?
i ate handfuls and handfuls of smarties today. in the end all i tasted food colour dye mixed with chocolate.
we finally got a new mail key from mike and franca, so i got my real simple magazine. and that is always a joy. in fact i'm going to lose myself in it now.
