Administration
Happy early birthday to aussie_nyc and penmage, who both advance a year over the weekend!

Medical, me
Exhausted and scatterheaded. Losing the spelling of words.

Medical, not me
Kristi made it through her surgery; it is now a waiting game.

I know. Not my family. I'm just so incensed by what she's had to go through that all of my mama-wolf instincts have been activated...

Writing
I'm timestuck on the creation of the Kirayth. Interesting. I mean, this is stuff that you readers of the comic will never even see... but I live here.

Does that make sense?

Missing DocOrion
docorion is only one state away now. We talk to each other every day. We miss each other dreadfully.

We both know that he could be here tomorrow.

But Elayna's birthday is Tuesday, and if he was here, she wouldn't have 100% of my focus. And if he was here next weekend, what's between us would be so obvious that I would have to have The Poly Talk with my parents....

And I'm not doing well, physically, and I have so much on my plate. I can't have The Poly Talk now. I will someday. I can't now. I'm barely up to throwing the kid a birthday party in my present condition.

But I want docorion. I miss him. So much. And oh, it is very mutual. But we both know that we have to wait.

Wearing
Periwinkle turtleneck, purple "I hate everything panties", jeans, bathing-beauty socks.

Reading
Clade, by Mark Budz. Really enjoying it thus far.

Planning
Oh goodness gracious. Have to go to the Girl Scout store this afternoon to get everything I need to make her sash all official.
Saturday: Car Wash at the Park at Briarcliff Apartments to benefit her troop! Come on down!
Sunday afternoon: Selling Girl Scout cookies in front of the Toco Hills Kroger! Come on down!

And we may be the only family doing that booth sale, and if so, I'll be livid, because I told this troop leader that I'm not physically capable of doing this All By Myself for 4 hours. But last I heard, she hasn't signed anyone else up for that day and time.

Please come and buy lots of cookies from us so we can go home.

Wish I could loan you a few spoons. You really sound as if you need them for a buffer between you and the ragged edge.

Oh well, at least you are being purple. Purple is always on the proper side of the universe.

The whole concept of the creation of the Kirayth is fascinating. Part of it is using politics to protect you from politics, in a way. It also has the feeling of putting together the good guy team, even though most of the kirayth will not be central characters as far as I can tell. Still, it has an aura of sorting out the good warriors to save the town. Seven Samurai writ large. This isn't necessarily based on where the story seems to be going as much as the mythic feel I get reading about it. Sensation as opposed to intellectualization.

Blah, that's semi-coherent. Oh well...time for hi ho hi ho...tons to do here in the office.

Heh. My afternoons consist of Trying To Stay Awake.

Part of it is using politics to protect you from politics, in a way.

*grin* The idea originated with Fenris's then-lover Jessamyn, who was really born to politics, later using her own political canniness and strong resemblence to the Lishaya to proclaim herself acting Kithraya of House Tamra in Alanna's "absence" (read: neglect).

It also has the feeling of putting together the good guy team, even though most of the kirayth will not be central characters as far as I can tell.

Strong secondary characters. Fenris in particular of course. And of course Halloran and Capri live there. The Telenias is important. Others.

Still, it has an aura of sorting out the good warriors to save the town.

*nod* They definitely turn the tide. Not just their actions, but their very presence.

you can buy her a couple spoons!

:)

Hee! I can see it now.... my backpack covered with wee spoons...

[eyewrist.livejournal.com]

hehe :) I almost got you a couple the first time I saw 'em - I thought it woulda been funny!


It's really a shame they aren't sporks though - that would rock.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Dude, that so would.

Thank you for posting that link..I've never heard of that before.
<- humbled

Wait a minute....

You're selling cookies at a booth this weekend. Does this mean you won't have the extra boxes to sell to those of your friends who regret their previous decisions and wish to correct their oversights? *grin* I should call you to reserve a few good boxes.

Re: Wait a minute....

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Well, tell me exactly what you want, dearheart!

Re: Wait a minute....

[avivasedai.livejournal.com]

Geez, you're so demanding! (gimme a moment, here...)

WHY do you persist in asking these questions when you know the answer? ::stamps foot:: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, YES.

It makes perfect sense. At least to me. I don't live here, either.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Well, you, I know. :)

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Absolutely, man. *sigh* *hug*

It's really difficult for me right now knowing that, as I told him, if he left for my house right now - well, then - he'd be here in time for dinner! So - damn - close...

Kinda hate to say this, but I would be willing to bet the price of my entire cookie order (plus shipping) that you will be the only parent-type there. :(

Even though I am passive-aggressive, I still hate extrememly passive-aggressive people.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

I will not bet against you. :)

[penmage.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :)
