greenstormTOH: Bring the digital camera to the retreat.
Just came in from a run with Mom which was kind of nice. I enthused to her about learning, both juggling and mushcode, and we talked a little bit about thought structures and form vs. idea development (not really vs, but whatever) in academic papers. We always end up talking about the purpose of language somehow.
We either cut our time so that it only took 45 mins, which would be surprising, or I misremembered the time when we set out and it took 55. Either way, pretty good/average and it was a good run: hard, but I did a lot more running on the home stretch than normal so I'm not sure what that means. Some days just feel harder than others, I guess.
I feel accomplished today, like I've been getting stuff done.
I also had a paranoid thought on the way up the stairs after running. I thought, maybe this relationship is all my fault. Maybe I'm doing really unreasonable things that send other people into righteous sort of tailspins so that when they've lost it I can stand there looking cool, calm, and reasonable to feed my ego? Maybe I push at other people on purpose?
Having thought of that it seems to be kind of ridiculous right now, but it was a definite Thought.
My love and my concerns to the Exotic. Please be sleeping well and peacefully and thinking the things you need to be thinking. I talked with the SO a little bit and I have more to say. I forgot the gentle parts while trying to make my stand and it probably came out wrong.
Sorry to co-opt this space for a public apology, but it is warranted. On to the life and times of Greenstorm? The bird of paradise is slightly sunburnt, the glowing amber rose is unbelievably beautiful now that it's blooming, some of the minis seem to have powdery mildew and a bit of aphid damage that I need to do something about, the clematis is budding right along, Buttercup rose is blooming oh, oh, oh so beautifully in that lovely orange/yellow colour, the yellow patio rose has faded to a neat green, the carnations are huge flaming cascades of red, the baby leaves on the african violets are growing, the violets outdoors are growing and the sterling silver is tentatively recovering, the baby's breath is a mass of blooms and Cecile Bruenner continues to go pretty-poofy-pink, the alyssum is all spreading out wide and groundcovery...
That's more like it, hmm?
More after the extensive watering I need to get in tomorrow morning. Now let's see if I can grab the SO for some sushi before he needs to go to work...
And oh, yeah. I'm going to learn to juggle. So pthbt! :D
