Lazy Sunday

I was just looking at this photo and it hit me.

The vase is from Portugal, the statue from Greece, the pillow from France, all gifts brought to me by friends. I have so many friends all over the world, interesting friends, lovely people, and I suddenly felt overwhelmed with gratitude for how good my life is.

And the Mitty? Miss Mitty? The Kitty Mitty never leaves my side if she can help it. It’s really about being in a prime spot to get random pets all day but hey, I can tell myself it’s love right? Love and a sheepskin bed.

My own art, my mothers high chair, my first stuffed animal sitting in my first chair, the ancestor altar and pet cemetery, grandma’s tatted lace linens, and the ever present box of stitching tools and random thread, a turkey bone, and pins, always pins…

West altar with boob shell, stitching in progress, always stitching, books, never enough books.

Christmas in May… The cactii are Haaaaaappppy

Just an Update

Okay, that was brief.

Here’s the truth.  I’ve been stressed beyond belief.  Unemployment turned me down, three appeals.  I’ve been interviewing for a position at my old company and it’s a good one.

And I got a job.  They hired me yesterday then I had to jump some hoops, they wanted to talk to the woman who fired me and I refused.  So 24 more hours of really edgy stress.  I got the job anyway! They love me!  I start June 1st.  I’m predicting that since it’s full time that I’m going to be busy and a bit tired for awhile.  One reason I’ve been a bit absent and will continue to be so.

In my second interview I sat down at the conference table in front of 2 of the 6 people who were going to interview me and my knee hit the emergency latch and the table split in two and folded in half.  Guess they know how I handle very unexpected and sudden stress.  When asked how I handle competing priorities I told them that I warp time.  One lady shot out her hand and said “You’re Hired.”    It was 8 days before the final FINAL offer was made but I’m just ecstatic.  These folks are so very nice, it can be a home I’m thinking.  My cubicle walls (3 real walls at least, not some pod) are eggplant purple and there is a bit of privacy there.  I knew it was the right place.  I also discovered that one of my BTW mates works there, also a good sign, he’s been there a long time.

The other thing happening is that I’ve been in the budding first weeks of beginning a relationship with someone.  It’s amping up and things are getting intense interesting after about 6-7 weeks of just getting to know each other.  We have a lot in common, a 30 year history of mutual friends and music interests and we think very much alike, very similar minds.  So many things in common I really can’t list them here.  He’s a doll really and we both have stelliums in our natal charts, his scorpio and mine leo.  My Cancer sun makes the scorpio thing look like a good idea and his other planets balance him, he’s a kind and playful scorpio.  We both have the same rising sign.  My intuition says that this is the guy that my ex and Steve sent me.  A rockin’ chicken man.  And guess what?  We have never met.  We meet Friday.  Another reason I’ve been a bit absent and will continue to be so if all goes well.

At any rate there is a lot of exciting change going on.  Boy Howdy, it’s pouring over here.  I can finally breathe again.

I had to share that fabulous news.

So I’ll be around, don’t give up on my blog, I’ll just be a bit sporadic as I adjust to all the new and wonderful change that is going on.  The Honey Years are finally getting to the sweetness.  The bee spit months appear to be well on their way out.

Taking A Break

Hey gang~

I am going through a famine period with the blog.  I’m working on projects and doing some other things and have a few irons in the fire.  For now I’m going to take a break from the blog.  I need to go do something else for a little while, I need to just be.

Merry Meet and Merry Part and Merry Meet again!
