Life of Joy

The last few days have been like an overlap between past and future in several different ways, but one of them has to do with past friends and future friends, past books and future books.

They're both in my book.

New books, old books, new friends, old friends. It's a eerie overlap.

I've been sick since Saturday. It hasn't been too bad. The weekend was pretty uncomfortable, but certainly manageable. I've been able to go to work and take care of business. Early this morning Michael finally got sick, too, so I ran into work early, nailed down what needed to be done and came back to help him.

So far, so good. He's been very productive for a sick bunny: he set up a new blog on Wordpress. You can check it out here: http://simplicitymemorial.com/wordpress/

Other than that, I don't have anything amazing to say. February is always my worst month: it's dark, it's cold, and I want to crawl into bed by 8:30. I've been using my SAD lights religiously and that's been a great thing. I'm doing better this winter than last, that's for sure. I haven't gained weight---in fact, I've maintained my unexpected loss---and I'm in a decent mood most of the time. I just itch to crawl under my blankie and go to sleep as soon as it gets full dark.

I even got out to Casa Rosada on Tuesday night to work with cobraemt on his Blue Star Craft requirements. He did a spectacular job, by the way---cobra works as hard as any student I've ever had, and I admire his steadfastness and persistence. Many thanks to catpaw67 and company for lending us their house, and more thanks to ramchild67, syndalaluna and onyxtwilight for joining us in a cold, dark, icy weeknight circle. I want to extend special thanks to discoiris for working with me to help cobra, and to ixtli_awakening for pulling out all the tools we needed to set things up and get things going.

Soon, the sun will be out again and I'll be back to my normal self. Even before then I'll be basking in the summer sun of Oz. In the meantime, I'll wrap myself up in my fuzzy purple blanket and peer over the edge, thinking of my bunnies and friends with tenderness and affection. See you soon!
