Some weeks I have big updates, and other weeks I have small ones. Sometimes my updates are big because I have strong emotions that I need to release, and sometimes my updates are small because I have strong emotions that need to be hemmed in. This week I have no strong emotions of either variety, and that has me feeling emotional in an unfamiliar way. It feels like I'm wearing a thick wool glove and grasping at my emotions, trying to describe the texture of them. It sure does fucking suck to have a broken leg. I wish I could ambulate farther than a city block's length before needing a break. I wish I could ambulate with my own legs instead of metal crutches that bruise my hands and clang around when I drop them. I'll be better in a few months, but the next few months are going to continue to suck. How's it going, Hubski? I didn't hear about ilex or her chickens this week! How goes the conference prep? Are you already on the road? applewood I'm still planning to watch Godzilla '54, but I've had less free time than I thought I would! It's still on the list. Have you done any crafting since last week?
Thanks for asking, friend! Conference is in a couple of weeks, thank god, because I am not ready at all yet. But, it'll come together in time. I get the muted emotions sometimes -- usually I need a break of some sort so I can process whatever's going on in my subconscious. Sometimes it almost feels like a hangover, you know? Anyway, I hope you're back to feeling...something...soon. :)
A broken leg sounds like the perfect excuse to order delivery pizza and chinese and whatever else you can get delivered almost every day. I've been pretty busy myself, with kind of not crafts. I've been to the park and in my backyard a couple of times this week taking pictures of bugs and birds and lizards and such. I'm gonna get a few printed out for reference and try and draw them. While not necessarily crafts or art, I collected some acorns from the yard, made sure they passed the water test, and planted them in pots hoping they'll stratify over winter. Someone already called dibs on a spring seedling if everything goes right, so maybe five or six months from now we'll have a few baby trees with homes for them all.
