(no subject)

 Thing that my brain keeps chanting at me today. Don't be too much. Take what you are given and don't ask for more. In fact, just don't ask.

 

Mysteriously, our car alarm has started going off.  Like a lot, and from no particular external input we can sense.   Yesterday, Light did a thing to disconnect the horn.  This morning I discovered the thing he did to disconnect the horn is also a thing that keeps you from being able to shift out of park, so there was some scrambling.

 

But Spark got to daycare, the car got dropped off, I got rescued by Abundance, the car got fixed, I picked it back up, picked up Spark and brought her home.  I also managed to make apple-potato-cheddar soup and move a bunch of stuff from one floor to a different floor.  I also attended the Take This training for PAX Unplugged, so I'll probably be sitting in the AFK room for a couple of shifts.  And my tension rods came in, so I got to hang many of the small pieces of glasswork I've acquired over the years. 

 

 

I'm getting a tattoo in 6 days. There's a concert at my house in 13 days. I haven't even sent out an email about the feast day yet, much less started to plan a menu. Every year, more of the menu seems to solidify into things I absolutely don't want to do without, but then I add more in because I also don't want to not try new things.   Maybe tomorrow I can start attempting rolls.  Or snap and make a leek and potato galette with pistachio crust.  

 

I keep looking at Mary Lambert lines that feel like they could be the first line of an essay, but never with quite enough energy to go around turning over the rocks of psyche to poke at the wiggling things trying to hide from the light.
