63 Days!!!

Word of the Day: Not really repeatable, but see topic and you'll get it.

 Well,  it's not quite as long as it was last time since I wrote.  It's been a long weekend though.  Drama, irritation, all that fun and crazy stuff.  The sun was shining today though, and little birds carried messages that I should lighten my heart.  So productivity abounded tonight.  I reconfigured 3 blogs.  Redid my title...which I'm still not sure about.  I love the picture, just not sure if I love the colour.  Or maybe it's the sidebars on the background.  Either way, I think I found a size that works, so next time I decide to muck around with it, it shouldn't take as long.

You know what the worst thing about being a Virgo is?  Being a frickin' perfectionist.  I'm gonna scap it...I know I am. LOL  I'll keep the big moon at the top, but that background needs some serious work.  Maybe if I take the moon out of it altogether...

Samhain is 63 days away.  It's hard to believe that a year has come and gone already.  I need a recharge though, so it can't come soon enough.  I have a lot of spirits to put to rest this year.  I've lost 2 past friends and a mother.  I know death is a fact of life, and it usually comes in 3's, but it seems to be coming faster than that lately.  Aside from my 3, I know people who have suffered loss as well.  Then there's pesky old George in the basement.  That's not his real name, but to protect identities, that's what this entity is being named.  He's been really active lately.  My moods probably haven't been helping much.  George won't leave.  He won't move on to his next stage.  We've tried to help him, but he just isn't budging.  Perhaps Samhain will bring rest to all that need moving along.

That's it for now.

Semi-productive day

Topic: Movie Time!
Location: The Living Room
Mood: Dunno
Listening To: Music that I don't recognize
Word of the Day: Still Flark

Well, I changed my blog backgroud, and layout...twice...and went back to the original. LOL  However, I did get some more ideas for "The Novel", and I updated my resume and profile on 3 job sites.  So, not as productive as I was hoping for, but I did get a few things accomplished.  None of them of course related to laundry or cleaning.  Tonight, we're going to watch The Losers, and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

And that's about that.

I'm such a follower...

It's been way too long since I logged in here.  And really the only thing that inspired me to do so, was because a friend needed help fixing her graphics.  But once I logged in, I realized, I need to do this.  I need to keep a journal.  And maybe I don't need to write everyday, but I should visit more often.

Now, the reason I said I'm such a follower, is because said friend is combining her blogs, and going private.  I on the other hand, am combining my blogs and staying public.  I've come to the conclusion that I can't seperate facets of my life.  I am who I am, as a whole entity, not a private and a public.  This is me.

What's happened since last I wrote?  Samhain was fantastic this year, the costumes were the best yet.  Yule was mixed emotions, mostly due to mom's health.  It was her last one with us, and I'm really sad about that.

Mom died on February 19, 2010 at about 2:45 in the morning.  She'd been fighting various things on and off for the better part of 2 decades.  She never really fully recovered from my dad's death in '88, then a debilitating illness hit her in '01. We had a good run of it.  And I grateful to have had her in my life as long as I did.  We tried to give her everything we could, and to make her as comfortable as possible.  She went into the hospital at the end of December, and wasn't able to come back out.  Being in the hospital ultimately is what took her.  There was an outbreak and her floor was quarantined, so out of the month and a half she was in there, 3 weeks of it was spent in isolation.  And I think that's what the hardest thing to get over was.

We had a quiet ceremony for her at home to say our goodbyes.  It's what she wanted.  Elvis was playing in the background, we looked over old photo's, said the things she wanted said, and now we're trying to move on. 

And that is about all I think I can write today.
