juggling one handed in slow motion

That’s what I have been doing for the last few months… or at least it sure feels that way. It’s not a complaint… merely an observation. I fully appreciate the ebb and flow of life and this is most definitely a case of the latter. Where ebbs go it really not a bad one… just feels a little too sedentary for my liking. Yet, in an odd way the glow of promise up ahead seems …

laundry is done and hung…

… on this nice sunny day here in da Big NO. In fact, I may even take the rather huge pile of bedding etc down to the laundromat with the mondo washers and just spend the rest of it fluffing and folding. The only thing about sun drying this time of the year is the “shadow factor” necessitating the constant moving of the drying rack so that the sun catches it. A small price to …

knowing when the party is winding down

Change is both inevitable and constant. I’m not saying anything new here… experience will tell us that. Sometimes it is a slight shift and at others it will involve something more dramatic. Though most give lip service to the “change is constant/good/”, etc… few really deal with it with any kind of grace. More often than not we will only go kicking and screaming into this “disaster” simply because we are creatures of habit… even …

Plus the huge annual city street clean-up (sometimes known as dump your crap on the street week) is taking place on Thursday. Yay! It’s amazing the stuff we accumulate, isn’t it? Yard sales also remind me of this fact. There are times I muse over those “gotta have it” periods I’ve been through …

I didn’t go to the Fair this year.

Though I didn’t miss it like I thought I would. Even though it seemed like I went over and over and over last year. So, no checking out the livestock (especially the piglets), or betting on the ponies, or checking out the prize winning crops, or devouring my favorite hotlinks and a myriad of other deep fried possibilities. (Though I did try the deep fried White Castle burgers last year and paid dearly for it… …

some days…

… you find that everything is clipping along… some days it just doesn’t. I had one of the latter variety yesterday. Nothing was moving. It was like being stuck on a small rudderless sailboat with nary a wisp of air on a glassy ocean. The thing that made it frustrating is that I knew that I was the problem. The mind was just not engaging as if a inordinate amount of rust had accumulated overnight …

Yeah, I’ve been here…

… just haven’t been posting. It gets that way sometimes. I am though looking forward to the Sarong to Summer HNT that I’ll be posting tonight. But more so to see what Sarong Sirens come out this year. Anyway, I’ll be posting at 8:30 PM (PST). For those of you interested in joining in read 2 posts down. See you then… unless of course I decided more to this post later. Cheers!
