Jul. 20th, 2006 09:39 amI'm not likely to be online so much today because I reconfigured and upgraded to the new version of Ubuntu on my laptop. I can't get online there, but we can't quite figure out why, and Dave had to go to work (pesky job, heartlessly robbing me of tech support) so I've abandoned it for the moment.
This may actually be a blessing in disguise. I got a lot of work done on the house yesterday, largely due to less time online, I think. The sucky thing is that I also have to redo my music program so that it will read .mp3s again, and that's easier to do with Internet access to the Ubuntu wiki. Yeah, I could bring my laptop in here and use the desktop to search for info...and I may do that at some point, but there are other things that seem more pressing.
I'm feeling really good about a lot of things right now. I can't even really articulate why. I just feel happy. I'm feeling better about the pagan group. We're leading a community ritual for Lammas and I'm really feeling good about it.
The fact that mommy friend M is leaving is sad, but I still feel good that we've become friends, more confident about my ability to make local friends. And even if not, I have so many good friends elsewhere, that it's a matter of convincing Dave to move and finding a job someplace else. :-P
As far as writing, I met all my self-imposed deadlines for July. I am still working on the poem portraits, slowly but surely. I didn't get as much done as I might have in July, because some other things with deadlines popped up. I still need to revise my short story, too. I haven't done as good about carving out time for either exercise or writing lately, and I'm feeling it on both counts. I think I need to work on some sort of exercise indoors (yoga?) for those days when I can't make it outside to walk.
This is all I have for now. I hope everyone's having a wonderful Thursday.
