Doing a drive-by...

I don't seem to have time to do anything else...always on the run! Anyhow, a couple of quick updates:

* Rain is home! I flew out to Pennsylvania and drove home with her. There are a lot of questions about how things will go forward, but she has accepted a full-time teaching job here in Illinois. We're good at figuring things out on the fly. Mostly, I wonder and worry about labels. *chuckles* She makes my anti-label frustration look like nothing!

* I saw some friends! The drive was a really great opportunity to catch up with some of MY friends, although the visits were way to short to make up for how long it's been...in one case, it has been over 6 YEARS since we got together. The amazing part is, it was like we live next door. Plans are in the works to make an actual VISIT with the family in August.

* Sacred Feminine Intensive. I continue to lag behind. I seriously need some time to myself to read through the materials and determine my daily devotional. *sigh* This is just one of those things that I WANT to do, but no one seems to understand that I need time to do it. I'm sure he doesn't mean to, but Beloved has made me feel very guilty about jumping on my computer. I suppose I understand, since I'm often limited to a few minutes and so I grab a game (10-15 minutes) rather than something more intensive...round and round...

* Branding. I have made the decision to postpone my branding. I am ultimately uncomfortable with the circumstances and the proposed artist. For me, the brand is something built on 20 years of consideration and desire. The artist hasn't been in touch with me, despite a couple of attempts on my side, and I do not want to feel like this is being "squeezed in" for a busy schedule at Twisted Tryst. It is too important. So...it will wait. SOMEDAY...

* Ablation. Everything is looking on schedule for the procedure, which will destroy my uterine lining and probably end my moontimes. It's kind of funny that I am having mixed feelings about it all the sudden...not that I LIKE having a moon cycle, but...I don't know. There are many, many stories that highlight women's cycles, and I am choosing to deliberately withdraw from that shared history. Weird...neurotic...but that's why you like to read me! *laughs*

I think that is a pretty good summary...I have to get back to groceries and then pick up Boy and make dinner for company and...
