And Now

[mlerules]

It's SNOWING! Huge puffy white flakes. Lots of them. Falling from the sky. Um, yeah, snow. WHOO-HOO!

Feeling glorious. My fave drug's sleep dep. Usually tho I prefer dictating the circumstances of its ingestion. Nowadays sleep's just not coming. Snatched a couple hours yesterday morning. Will try for a few more sometime mid-day today. Slept last night, actually, but 'twasn't quite enough.

Am thrilled to be thrilled at the snow that's happening. Been feeling...off/odd/disconnected a bit this past week. (Steroidal overtones, certainly.) Baize's been tossed over the birdcage of my emotions. Annoying stuff slides off my back like water off a duck's. Good stuff's noticed and appreciated, just a shade removed. It's incredibly zen.

Feels a bit as if I'm waiting. Not for anything, mind you, just BEING. Mebbe BEing more than waiting, now that I think on't. There're cycles to lives, seasons, selves, all things. Good quotes go here, but I'm not thinking of any off-hand right now so feel free to suggest some in comments.

Intuition's largely a matter of figuring out when it's time to act and when to wait. Juggling's required at time...keeping the mass of ducks in the air so they don't all land on the floor at the same time's wise. It gets messy otherwise. But sometimes, when the ducks're flying 'round all nicely on their own, it's best to sit back and watch, to set a spell and see what havok's been wreaked and/or avoided. I'm in favor of a measure of havock and chaos myself. (I'm generally in favor of spell-checking or at least keeping the possible misspellings consistent, but I'm clearly not bothered by't right now.)

To twist a papal line: Love 'em all, let God sort 'em out.

Filters currently in place: Very Few. Feels like I can say anything. Feels like I can do just 'bout anything to, but nothing's springing into mind onto the ToDo white-board of my soul. Now's more the time for quiet contemplation and reflection of where I've been and where I'm going and what's up and where's it all at anyway. I'm quite liking it. I'm happiest with people in my life. I've got a whole mess of great people in my life now.

Next up: hot tea. Then mebbe some food and/or a nap.

Oh dear. Er. I hope it doesn't stick between here and work -- I'm on the motorcycle.

Likely not an issue for you. I'm up at CopperMoon (an hour NE of Seattle) above 700 feet. It's likely just raining in town...and who knows whassup down your way. Be safe!

Oh, okay, that makes sense.

Well, everyopne knows the best thing to do in the snow is drive fast and to slam on the brakes a lot.

I vote for you including GPS co-ords or something similar in your post-headers as a matter of course. ;-D

Aha, I thought so--LJ posts have a (optional) "location" field. By God if there was ever someone who oughta to use it... ;-)

Don't forget to tailgate, too. And talk on the cell-phone whilst applying make-up and texting.

Heh, we've been joking for ages now about some sort of Where's MLE version of Where's Waldo along such lines. If'n I were more techno-savvy, I'd do it. :-)

[mlerules.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah...I'll try to remember this.

[edwardmartiniii.livejournal.com]

Of course -- I totally forgot about that. My bad.

We may be sharing a similar season in the Universe. Sleep is most certainly not happening here either and the filters, among other barriers and boundaries, have evaporated like vapor, leaving a feeling of limitlessness as the infinite possibilities loom in the future however, hot tea, food and naps always win.

It spit snow and rain on us on the way to Kirkland for the Geek's plumbing check, but it just made for stupid drivers and didn't stick anywhere. It's a good 36 degrees, so I think we're safe from more white stuff actually on the ground. Whew.

Thanks for sharing your "periodic welcome home" dinner last night with us! That was great fun! (and the food was good too!)

We got 3/4" on the front stoop today. Amazing what a difference 700+ feet makes. Oh, we'll letcha know 'bout where to park when you get here. The driveway's currently impassable by cars but we'll work on that o'morrow. It's not a long walk (mebbe 200 yards) and flat, but snowy (currently).

[mlerules.livejournal.com]

SO glad you were up here to enjoy it with us!

[vonvoncake.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the head's up. I'll make sure my goodies are transportable and that I wear my boots. And I don't mind walking, especially if the company might include those two beautiful doggies I saw in the pictures. I'm a sucker for fluffy dogs...

I'll call you when I get close and you can direct me from there...

Boterkoek are in the oven and I'm about to put together some banana bread since I have some lovely black bananas that are just screaming to be baked into bread.

Mmmmm, banana bread...
