Listening: I Am Done by Melissa Ferrick, Strange Loop by Liz Phair, Debaser and Here Comes Your Man by the Pixies.

Reading (perhaps quality): The Spanish Civil War by Hugh Tomas.

Reading (definitely pulp): Just finished He's Just Not Into You by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo. What can I say, loved that episode of Sex and the City and needed a laugh.

Drinking: Nothing.

Know it has been a while.

• Have been trying to organize my photos from Spain and put all the things from that trip together so I could put them up.
  
  
• There was a series of boundary-crossing encounters with someone reading this site that really made me not want to post anything ever again.
  
  
• Work has been crazy with the last position ending and the new one starting this coming week. That brought extra hours and some associated stress.
  
  
• Have been trying to get a lot of other offline things in order - looking at volunteer work, thinking about where I want to live next, classes I may want to take, training for a half marathon in the spring, and finishing the Christmas presents I have to make.

But I have missed putting things up. All this is a way to broadcast the outlines of my life to friends and family, and a record of life and craft for me.

So I'm back.

Doing (life and related tasks): In the process of gathering items to give to GoodWill.

Doing (crafty stuff): Much embroidery.

Wanting: A lot of things. But now with some good music playing, a nice breeze blowing through the room and Anna sleeping curled up on the bed those things are hard to remember.

Anticipating: The new job starting. Woo hoo!
