Today's cards - 3 of Swords and the Empress. I can already relate them both to this morning and last evening. The 3 of Swords is a familiar sorrow, that I am learning to accept and integrate in order to move past. This particular manifestation had to do with being screamed at like I was a child in front of my children by my partner who is supposed to be rather more partnery than that if you ask me. I am actively working to address this issue, though, by trying to only respond calmly to the screaming, although that can be tough sometimes. The Empress is also a common emotion in this part of my life where I have small people around all the time who could be considered subjects I suppose. I do not really like to think of them like that, but they do need guidance and lots of help with stuff so in that way it is apt.

I'm having so much fun playing with the new computer I have been neglecting my other projects but having a little break from them feels OK too.

I am patiently waiting for my DVD of Genitalio, and I have 2 transcriptions to work out but still 2 weeks before they are needed. There is a big band gig and cd recording upcoming as well as a small band gig which earns scratch. There is the Matt and Dirk at Matt's Church thing, possibly Fodfest with Anne and some appearances at Border's mixed in. Idiom is still on track to open for Macabre on Dec. 26. Brutal.

OK

How was that for a week? Who am I again? Oh yeah.

Time to get this wagon back on the tracks.

Today I need to do the last of the sicko's laundry and get the beds switched back. Abbey was on the bottom bunk this week.

I need to practice for this wedding which is creeping up.

I need to fix this problem with the brain cramps and the socks.

yah.

making stuff

So I've been going gung ho on these socks, to the detriment of my many other things I should be doing. But they're going to be really super fancy socks...

The last gig of the season for my big band is this Thursday. At least it's a 2 hour throwdown of everything we've been doing, and after my magnificent nerves of last time I'm going to get some practicing in tomorrow and I pretty much get to play most of the day Thursday too so I think I'll be good to go. I'm still sporadically working on Rubber Soul, what a great album. I really need to haul the cello out and start getting ready for this wedding.

Let's see, other things I need to make, ooh, I ordered up a sock monkey kit. I'm sure part of the reason I'm busting my tail on these socks is because I need to clear off the needles so I can start on the monkey. Um, yeah.

What else can I babble on about?

I need to make my yoga practice harder, what I really need to do is to put this one in the morning first thing when I get up so ungodly early and then just add another one in the usual spot.

time to go

Where ya Been?

Just relax, you're doing fine.

Ya ya ya.

Finished both blankets, but haven't uploaded pics because of fear of spiders lurking behind the computer. Ella woke up in the middle of the night screaming about spiders and I can't get her terror out of my head.

Have been practicing some bass just lately again, took about a week off I guess. Realizing again that I must get the cello out. Still time before the wedding, but fast running out.

yoga is all good and is the constant for now, just must.

Still reading the hobbit, but since we're just entering Mirkwood and Ella is already afeared of spiders, well, might take a small break.

Currently knitting socks but really seriously bored with the pattern and wishing I could do something else for a bit, but what?
