Fantastic concert. Lovely company. However, I HURT. In the last 24 hours I have been standing for, um, 18 hours, and I have slept for 2 (the remainder were an hour posting to lj, half an hour looking over my website, half an hour tickling very baby rats, twenty minutes watching a ted talk, half an hour showering and getting dressed, and the remainder eating, sometimes while talking to Angus).
My lower back is unhappy with me. My feet are unhappy with me. I am happy with me. I am now warm and dry and have nothing else to do today. I have two hours of work (plus transit time) tomorrow, helping teach a garden prep workshop. I can spend nighttime in bed with Angus! I can sleep in and eat breakfast slowly! I can lie in bed when I wake up and listen to the rain outside and/or people cheering for the Vancouver-USA gold medal men's hockey game! I can poke rat bellies!
And I can catch up with some people again before I start work!
I've been thinking lately that I never transcend myself enough to be part of a mob. I can transcend my human-feeling-ness to feel like part of a world, a web, and an ecosystem. I can feel like part of a small unit, a couple or partnership. I can feel powerful as an individual. I always get stuck wondering what all these weird people are doing in a crowd, though-- even when I am doing the same thing.
Goodness, but I'm tired. Night-O.
