Jul. 13th, 2012 12:28 pmAlas, I keep trying to update but I'm either wigged by a crummy internet connection or the urgent need to do some rewrites instead. I even had a whole post written and ready on Wednesday, but when I hit the submit button the internet failed and then refused to let me go back and find it.
Oh that and there hasn't been anything particularly exciting to report. Still, it's the little things that make up life and it's the little things I keep skipping wholesale over whenever I don't write a post.
Like the way the monsoon has rolled in over the desert, filling the sky of oh-so-welcome clouds.
And the mad dash home I had on Tuesday when the rain went from a sprinkle to a full-on deluge, nary a tree or bridge or overhand in sight. Thankfully, my netbook survived.
Like the veggies we get from the CSA and how thoroughly exciting they are. Lady made a tomato and cheese gf galette last night and the other night we had steak from the meat lab plus corn. I used to not care for corn, but the ones we've been getting in our share have been thoroughly delish.
Like Doug getting back in town on Monday and bringing with her the news that we have a band for the wedding.
Like the runs on Sunday morning with some other peeps from our gym and the Sabino Canyon run we did on the 4th of July and how awesome that was.
Like putting the invitations in the mail (FINALLY) and becoming increasingly anxious, then immediately ecstatic, with each received checkmark-yes card.
Like getting the dress last week and finding out it needs some massive tailoring.
And subsequently realizing we're almost to the TWO MONTHS mark. And that apparently I will need shoes. Preferably ones I can dance in.
Like being able to actually track and predict my period. I am so amazed by this. I thought people were full of shit when they claimed they could mark it down to the day.
Like my subsequent building anger and annoyance at all the doctors I had over the years to whom I would confide that problem of .'s and my other issues like low blood pressure and fainting spells. And all they cared about was that I wasn't pregnant when obv something was f'ed up. >:(
Like my contentedness with life and my job and my friends and how everything has fallen in the past few months. So neatly.
Like Lady's ex suddenly arriving in town for a visit and me trying to figure out what is up with that.
Like the cats and how it's almost been a year that we first learned that two barn kitties needed to find a home stat or they would have to go to a shelter.
Like how my rewrite is inching along at a snail's pace, if said snail has been coated with molasses and plopped into the middle of a Canadian winter. And how the page & word count seems to continuously unfold before me, seemingly endless and definitely daunting.
Like how I'm looking forward to August already, even though July is only half over.
Like how I need to write more LJ posts to avoid posts such as these. :)
