greenstormI should likely be tracking the weather as well as my mood, come to think of it. Sunny today, functional, worked, feel okay despite the big lumps in my head (sinus infection, second respiratory issue since the drywalling started, but I haven't been seriously sick for quite awhile before this-- coincidence?)
Some packing to do today for the move this weekend.
Pretty happy, pretty busy-- had to write an affadavit for the ongoing saga of my parents' divorce (this is year twelve since the seperation, some things are too good to die). While procrastinating on that (because I hate dealing with the whole lawyer/family thing) I got a bunch of other emails done that I needed to do, though it didn't quite get me over my taxes. Oh well. By the way, this is my dad. It's good to remember that my issues with authority come from somewhere, that they're not totally unfounded, and that my childhood as full of batshit-crazy people who are not a representative sample of the actual people in the world. They do not, for instance, bear ten-year grudges for perfectly normal things that happen to people (thus a lot of my paranoia is really unneccesary around anyone except my dad, who I don't speak to anyhow for possibly obvious reasons). Normal people also don't humiliate people in public, blow minor incidents up to extreme proportions, are relatively predictable and at least mostly honest about feedback, and are more-or-less trustworthy.
I need to remember that it seems to be possible to turn people into an image of my dad, so that they will behave in that way at least a little, if I don't keep this stuff all firmly in mind. People are how you respond to them.
Went to Seedy Saturday, and it was wonderful, as always. Anyone know anything about Kelowna's climate? I bought a whole bunch of hot weather stuff, but totally forgot watermelons. I bet you can grow watermelons there. Mmmmrrrr. Heat in the summer, who knew?
I'm trying to slowly claw myself back into climbing, but I keep getting sick. Need to go consistently. So hard to leave the house to do it once I'm here for the night, but at the same time it sucks so bad to carry the stuff around with all the plant supplies I need all day. Oh well.
Without consistent climbing, and with moving stress and time stress from being sick, all relationships feel a liitle weird. Ahwell, what do you expect?
Sunday hate hate hates Rizzo, who's the rat we were trying to breed her with. Even when she's in heat she tries to kill him. Plan of attack 2 is to breed her when I breed Silver again, during the March show. *sigh* I thought Bandita was the cow of that pair of sisters, but apparently not exclusively. No rat babies for me for awhile, and they may be born in Kelowna (there *is* a decent vet up there, apparently). I do get my Gaia from Mount Lehman Rattery in not-too-long, though.
I wish I could get outdoors to enjoy the sunshine more, but it's frustratingly cold out there. I suppose part of that is just what happens to me when I'm sick-- I'm always cold then.
March 24 is apparently the Ultimate Weekend Of Everything, because I'm getting my ratspacnw judge certification then in Seattle, I've been invited to a wedding that I'd really like to attend, and some other stuff is going down that I haven't bothered to remember because of those first two things. I wish there were two of me, or alternatively that people planned for things on different weekends. Oh well.
Figures that if you don't book some time three months in advance you can't be sure of my time.

(by the way, I like hundun's post, it reads like a travel brochure, "and if you look out the bus on your left hand side you can see the bears and the elk molesting the tourists on vacation, whoah, they look like they're having fun.
