Bedknobs & Boathooks

The ducks that'd started paddling all over the Great Blue Sea have finally started massing near the starting line, which pleases me to no end. Okay, "to no end" sounds odd, as it's quite positive, yet sounds meaningless. Herding ducks, crickets, cats, pagans, monkeys, &c. has been a hobby for a while now. Sometimes it feels like Just Too Much, but when it works 'n' all comes together, oh how nice 'tis!

Yes, I've just figured it out and I'll have 16 different house guests staying here at various times over the course of the next few weeks.

There's so much to do, but after some wee-hour agonizing 'bout it, I'm now finding myself Not Really Worrying/Caring So Durned Much. Hopefully this is A Good Thing that won't Bite Be In The @ss. And whassup w/all the Pooh-esque capitalization nonsense anyway? Yeah, I'm oft-times A Bear Of Very Little Brain, but it doesn't usually infect my writing quite this much.

Actually, I'm Very Pleased (see - there 'tis again!) that my bounce has begun. Zoom-bounce's replacing dull dour doldrums. Huzzah - and about freakin' time!

Hmm, realizing that what happens sometimes, what's been happening Too Much recently (sigh ;-), is that I'm grinding in time rather than grounding in't. Shan't fuss w/why, as it hardly matters. What matters is noticing it now, trying to be aware of it as it returns, then figuring out how to handle it gracefully 'n' well. One way: Just Do It w/IT = whatever or at least something.

Upcomings:

This weekend: quickie trip to Bay Area for fambily stuff & brunch w/new folks & deneedling [livejournal.com profile] jaylake followed by a nice visit w/[livejournal.com profile] hollyteige upon my return.

Next weekend (Fri - Mon): FaerieWorlds 2011 down near Eugene, OR. My 6th in a row, which I find a bit hard to believe! My 'rents'll be up for the following week.

Following weekend: [livejournal.com profile] lightfoote & [livejournal.com profile] wildwoosi return to PDX for her b-day dinner &c. (Th - Sun a.m.). Sun a.m. we3 will head Northward for a wedding and ultimately CuMoon.

4th o' July weekend = a bit of a break, when I hope to get out and play in the woods or on the water, but mostly locally and w/out a lotta extra folks staying here (unless this changes ;-)

THEN: Wed, 6 July 2011 it's off to Lake Ozette for our canoe-campout (ending w/Sol Duc hot springs), returning home on Mon, 11 July 2011.

PHEW! That's just the next month-ish. The summer holds more but I've gotta get some chow into my belly now so'm signing off.
