icarusI'm not whining. I'm too happy to whine.
I like my job, I like the kitties, I like my home (well, the extra housemates are irritating but no big deal). I like fantasizing about Tiny Houses.
I like being close to mom and my brother and talking to my dad more often. I like being in contact with my extended family again (even when there are tragedies).
I like my projects at the temple, the Tibetan stuff, saving for retreats and summer study, the school stuff in the works, my practice and finishing up the 1.2 million accumulations of ngundro, painting the temple prayer room, helping in my teacher's household, feeding the feral cat colony and supplying the food bank, and my weekly prayer shift.
I also like spending time with my friend Simon, my online friends, hanging out with Geoff after work, supporting and joking with my temple friends, and working on the Stitch N'Bitch that's still in the planning stages.
I'm also enjoying my various still unfinished decorating projects at home (chair refinishing, the pot rack, the Overly Ambitious Rug), my efforts to replace all that I lost to WG in my move to Maryland, my ongoing makeover (new haircut! Plus actual makeup! Skin care! Lost my glasses!), my little garden, caring for the birds, and working on my car.
But you see it, can't you? Re-read that list.
Oh my God I'm busy!
When I come home late at night, the relaxation I do is mindless TV, reading, or Castleville.
Today, a lovely woman asked if I could please, pretty please write the sequel to Primer to the Dark Arts. It's so rare for people to review now, I rolled in it like catnip.
Care for a drabble instead? Haiku?
Limerick?
