I am following doctors orders. I felt much better yesterday and it took everything I could do to keep from jumping up and running somewhere. But I didn't.

Today, better. More better. Much mo better fine.

And this looks like it will be interesting.

Current Mood: Better

I am doing something rare. I am following doctor's orders.

I feel MUCH better today. Inhalers are amazing and I was able to sleep for about six hours uninterrupted (and that was a for a bathroom visit). My pattern has been to rest long enough to feel better, then take of running until I wore myself down again.

Time off is rare, even tho I am on disability, and most of my activity is between my ears, and this time off has made me very contemplative.

Today, the day after Halloween, is All Saints Day. It is also a day of remembrance, particularly for the ones we have lost in the past year. For that it means several close friends and in my spiritual/intellectual life there are others.

So it seems appropriate to remember them today.

Nancy. Sean. Rusty. Steve. I miss you.

And I think I'm building a ( tomb... )

And now for something completely different:

Current Mood: sick

I went to a memorial for a friend who dropped dead last Thursday (heart attack). This man was an alcoholic who found Recovery, healed his relationships with this brother and daughter (last members fo his family), and who spent the time since he found sobriety working a local detox to help those who came after him. About 200 people showed up.

( I recognize the smell... )
"Gee, mommy, when I grow up can I be that all self important and self wacko self righteous?"

"You already are, my child. You already are."

Here are some people using bad words to express my reaction to this selfish and self centered display - they say it so much better than I could.

WARNING: This video is exactly what it says it is. Click only if you are over 21, or very childish and self centered.

Current Mood: annoyed

Last Thursday a friend dropped dead. He was a relatively young man - 47 - and appeared to be in good health. Great surprise to everyone, even him.

( A few days... )
and Wednesday - today is Wednesday.

I eagerly await the day's unfoled. : \

It has been so long since I've posted to Live Journal - or even looked at what my friends have been posting.

Car out of commission for a month, then knock-down flu, just getting over that. Did some other things less dramatic and satisfied with some creative things I've been doing.

Trudge trudge trudge ...

Current Mood: embarrassed

Quiet day. Did't leave the house. Having the car back is great, wish I had the energy I need to get going.

Maybe tomorrow.

Current Mood: listless

Despite all my whining, I tend to isolate when things aren't going well. I get quiet.

( Why I am not quiet today. )

I don't complain ALL the time. :o)

Here is a video of college kids playing with their balls.

I'm a graphic designer, of whatever ability. I love the shapes of certain font sets and designs. There is one I have been trying to find since I last had it on a Letraset lettering sheet in 1975 - Antikva Margaret. I did find it in a professional set for $225, and I may be an font addict, but it is too much to pay, even for that font.

But on a run through google looking for fonts, it turned up at a site that is the best despository for fonts I have yet to find. For the past two weeks I have been strolling through the fonts that begin with "A". There are over four hundred pages and I've only gotten to 285, and I think THAT is compulsive. http://www.fontpark.net - go if you are looking for a font or if you are designer who needs to find a spark.

Current Mood: tired

Bleh. Another bathroom oriented day.

And I'm probably years behind the curve, but I heard a mention of this video on the news and went to see it. Cool, yes. Fiber no.



The same couple did a television ad for a divorce lawyer, using the same rehearsed bridal party choreography. On the news it was carried as the "couple from the dance wedding wind up in divorce court after just six months of marriage..." And that ad was cool, too.
