Wonderful.

Someone please - start writing
Some great
Lines."

The broken escalator going up
takes more energy than
the one going down.

The broken escalator going down
takes more skill than
the one going up.

When the escalator breaks,
use your feet and hands.
If someone helps you along,
gratitude is not an evil.



Good things in life:
Laughter.
Soft, light sweaters.
Closing one's eyes and seeing
from the back of one's head.
Intelligent questions.

Difficult things in life:
Waking up to cool grey spring days.
Too little sleep for no good reason.
Watching someone else fail.
Finding one's own energy.

Good things in life:
Lilac and magnolia cat fur under the hands.
Rare tuna, sticky rice, and vinagrette dressing.
Prince and Queen.
Dancing in your body until midnight,
and in your head until dawn.

Difficult things in life:
Describing what one's interests - wants - needs are.
Being patient with others.
Doing what's best, rather than what's easiest.
Creating flowcharts without spaghetti paths.

Good things:
Lots of fresh water.
People who want to help you.
Those moments in life that are not pure strain.
The songs of Joe Jackson.





The new beige/tan/goldthread/gunblue boucle dress
continues to receive rave compliments at work.
On the too-long to-do list for ths weekend, then:
get alterations to the herringbone weave pantsuit.
I def don't think of myself as a beige person...
but hey, it's better than black.

Sometimes I know there's something simple I should do,
something that would probably help my quality of life.
But I find I resent and avoid doing it because I _have_ to.
What was that about cutting off your nose to spite your face?

To Do:
* Pizza & DVDs
* Tae kwon do
* Errands (alterations, dammit!)
* Measure for curtains
* Baltimore Science Fiction Society
* Schedule haircut
* Schedule vet appt.
* Financials
* Visiting pet program
* Jive Aces @ Glen Echo
* Sleep, dream


Ah, don't ask too much of me, or
I might actually tell you.

I appear as a steady mountain
Yet bit by bit,
Toward that tiny opening
I am going.
-Rumi

Cool grey Spring mornings...

...suck during the week when one must get out of bed and face them. They are easier to deal with on the weekend when there is another warm body in the bed, and one can ignore (at least for a while) the need to get out of bed and face the day.

*sigh* Amen. An unpleasant theme in my life that bites me in the ass from time to time. More often than I would care to admit.
