Unbreakable

...is a good movie. Also: people are wonderful, and this will be a very full workday. :/

Furthermore, Jerusalem Artichokes are yummy. Mine arrived the other day, an overflowing grocerybag full. I had forgotten that... don't laugh... they do in fact taste like artichoke. This is good.

Yesterday was pretty idyllic. I had some time to myself in the rain. I worked, well and quickly. I had some time with Chris, watching a good movie while curled up under his arm so I could hear his heartbeat through his chest. I had some time with Juggler, non-angsty, that involved changing the water in the fishtank and poking at his robot a bit. When I was tired, I slept. When I wasn't tired anymore, I woke up.

This is, I think, going to be the longest stretch I've gone without seeing Chris. I think it'll be something like 28 hours. :> Miss him already, dammit.

I'm beginning to get away from that guilt-feeling of seeing them both. I always start out with a bit of that in poly, and there was a tendancy to encourage it in my last relationships, so I didn't really appreciate this until quite recently. I don't know what it is... maybe that I get so much more practice being in love this way that it just kind of spills out onto everything? Maybe it's that the strong contrasts between them remind me each time just how (excuse the little floating hearts and starts) special and different each is, so they don't fade into wallpaper ever? For all I know, it could just be that I can look forward to more total hours of spending time in romantic relationships, nearly every night in fact, but I don't think that's the whole of it. I admit, though, that coming home to someone at night, and waking to them in the morning, is a very good thing for me.

Other stuff: my garden's gone for the year. There's nothing left to harvest but some potatoes, potentially. I won't plant it next year, perhaps for obvious reasons; it's not mine anymore. I want to get some winter stuff going (I know it's a little late) but I don't think that'll happen, just logistically.

Work really is crazy this week as I scramble to make up for sick-time. I may get ahead on bills, though, which would be nice.

I want to get a picture of me and my brother beside each other while we share a haircut. I never saw any familial resemblance between us, so this might be the way to do so. It'd be cool.

I'm almost well enough to start taking pictures with Miravaz again. The sore throat lingers oddly, and going about in the rain with head and throat uncovered doesn't help. I have the urge to get Chris in some of the pictures, but am not sure how that'd work. I think he'd photograph well, though, while Juggler's appeal is more in physical presence.


Now, I am hungry, then I work. Love y'all. Also: be well, and especially to Chris and Cristin who're getting married! Yay! Take pictures! Also to Estry and Ellen, who I haven't seen lately but are going through ickystressystuff. :(

(At least I'm not dating an Aaron ;)

1. What can I put into my garden ASAP for a winter crop?? I'd love to have something to harvest sooner than later.

2. Do you want another small cleaning job of about 2-3 hours in our old empty place? I've done most of it and there isn't much left to do. It would have to be done Saturday afternoon at the latest.

3. Good to hear how your life is coming together, along with your health :-)

1) What do you like to eat? Radishes, lettuce, and a lot of leafy cabbage-type crops (kale, collards, etc) will hold over the winter here with a trace of protection, though they won't grow fast (thus it may be too late to plant for a good harvest). Some other things that do well planted now and sort of spring into life in spring are some kinds of broccoli, chard, that kind of thing.

This is a good time of year to plant daffodils and stuff (nonedible) and also fruit trees, too.

2) If Thursday's good for you, that'd be cool.

3) Thanks, it sounds like we're both in similarish boats regarding some of that. :)

1. I like to eat all food :) I love chard, beets etc... and have just never had a winter garden, save things that lasted from summer plantings (beets, chard, etc...).

2. Thursday is awesome. What time? Can I call and arrange that with you tomorrow?

3. Yeah :-)

2) I'll call you in the evening tomorrow to arrange, if that works for you. Email me your phone # though, zenpillow at telus dot net. I'm not sure exactly where I'll be for you to get a hold of me. We can discuss details then, and maybe garden stuff. :)

Wow, it doesn't feel that long. I suppose being in agony for significant periods of time tends to warp one's perception of the passage of it. My head still swims a bit from the migraine, hopefully it'll be completely gone in time for me to decimate my mind with the FF/LoG concert. Anyways, see you later tonight.

PS The Shakespeare in Hell albums are mindblowing.

Aw shucks. Thanks.
