I am Jennifer.

Trying to decide between:
1. Digging in the garden
2. Shaving my legs
3. Picking up my cross stitching for the first time in years
4. Reupping my WarCraft account

Decisions, decisions.

I miss walking outside, because it's too hot now.

The doctor and his assistant were nice today.

My back hurts where they whittled on me.

Seven to ten days sounds like it'll take forever, but I know it won't.

Work should be manageable this week.

I'm making headway on one of my favorite annual projects.

We're printing a lot more on FSC paper lately.

The Green Team gives me a sense of purpose.

Biscuits is super lovey and super energetic.

Osiris is my Love Muffin.

Kitty visited me the last two mornings - of her own volition.

I enjoy playing Facebook Scrabble with my friend Wendy.

I miss Darrell when he has to work late.

Getting handwritten cards in the mail makes me cry happy tears.

I should mail more cards.

The Ben Folds University A Capella album rocks my socks off.

I ended that sentence with a preposition, because I didn't see a way around it.

I'm reading Dune, am halfway through, and am still not loving it.

We finished watching The Stand again last night.

Rob Lowe doesn't give me the hots like he once did.

I think he had a nose job.

Time to find Life Offline.

I think I might be hung up on the past, trying to cling to some semblance of the way things were before we lost our mothers and work went to hell. It's time to get out of the idea that things can go back and realize that things are moving forward. Quickly.

I told Darrell the other day that on one hand, it feels like years have gone by, and on the other, it feels like yesterday.

It's really not something I was prepared to deal with at this point in my life. I don't know that anyone can fully prepare for it, but I just wanted more warning. More thought. More time to understand.

While I'm still mourning, I'm trying to heal with newness, but now all of that is overwhelming as well. We got a new cat, a new sofa, a new car. It's almost too much newness too soon. And now I'm overwhelmed with it, and with the prospect of more to come soon.

And in the meantime, dealing with my own dysfunction as well as others'... I need air. I need time to breathe said air. And I need a place away from everything to take the time to breathe it.

Multi-scheduling never works like it should for me. Ideally, this morning, I would pick Biscuits up at 8:00, get him settled in, do some chores between 9:00 and 10:00, get a sofa delivered between 10:00 and 11:00, and then head into work.

Now, the sofa's scheduled for between 11:00 and 1:00, which is news to me. Gah. So, that puts me to work late, which puts me even more behind for the rest of the week there.

I guess I should just enjoy the time at home and be thankful that Biscuits is fine. (He got neutered yesterday.)

This weekend, I'll get to spend some time with family and my buddy Brianne in Chattanooga. I'm looking forward to that. I'll probably find some embarrassing high school stuff leftover in my old bedroom, which I might post here if it's amusing enough.

And now I'll share some photos to try to get back into a good frame of mind... :^)

No one's hanging stockings up
No one's baking pie
No one's looking up to see
A new star in the sky
No one's talking brotherhood
No one's giving gifts
And no one loves a Christmas tree
On March the twenty-fifth
- "Merry..." by Shel Silverstein

Happy March 25th!
