Just when you think....
Just when you think life is settling down, it decides to change its hair color. And you're all like, "Whoa! Are you my life? I hardly recognize you!"
It's a good thing to have happen. Keeps us humble, faithful, on our toes.
For the last few months I've been going a little nuts, worrying a bit that "baby" and "husband" were going to become the only things in my world. And then this thing with Nextbook happened, out of the blue! And now I have a little gig doing something super-fun, something that I'd never thought to do. I'm learning a new skill, meeting new people, playing a spectacular new game.
Imagine if somebody came up and tapped your shoulder and said, "You'd make a great figureskater!" And so you laced on some skates, and sure enough... you could skate!
It's really reassuring. It makes me feel like, wherever I am... there's something around the corner. Which of course there always is, only since you can't see around corners... you forget.
This makes me want to do all KINDS of things. Write this book and go back to school and travel and open a cafe' and... and... and...
I remembered something... I'm never stuck as long as I don't want to be. I can learn to sail, fix a car, build a house in Wyoming. I can do whatever the hell I want.
In other news.... I'm going to a wedding in Knoxville this weekend, for a friend I haven't seen in like, 7 years. I feel puffy and pregnant, but that's ok. Cause I AM puffy and pregnant. It's WAY worse to FEEL something icky when it isn't even true. Cause then you also feel insane.
But still.... I wish I could drink the champagne.
And in still other news, Dave (the dog) got loose yesterday and attacked Pigdog (the stray Benjy-looking beast who lives behind our hedge and hangs out in the yard). It was terrible! They usually get along, and Pigdog is the shyest scaredest critter in the world. He curled up immediately and began to cry. It was the saddest thing ever. I don't know why Dave did it.
Now Pigdog won't come out from the hedge.

oh poor pigdog! trying to keep order in the domestic animal kingdom is like...like trying to keep order in the homo sapiens kingdom. hopeless.
methinks pigdog should get some extra meaty treats tonight. and some mighty pettings. aggressive touch therapy on scaredy animals works!
