Me rambling about things. My life, atheism, toys, kitsch, books I'm working on, genderqueerness, this and that... Wee!
slower and more reclusive than a snail
Too tired to keep up with social anything these days. I'm feeling wiped out.
Let's see, in two days, the monthly crap will be two months late for the first time ever. I'm in the advanced stages of peri-menopause now. The hot flashes have diminished a lot for some reason, so I've been getting a bit more sleep, sort of.
I'm exhausted anyway.
Here's my first macramé wall-hanging. I finished it the other day; it's the one that came in that kit I got not long ago. The larger beads I got for it look fantastic.
I think I'm going to make a larger owl today, or something. Maybe work on my first zine.
We're supposed to get a pile of snow tonight and tomorrow. It's not snowing right now, but the wind is already strong. Fuck, it feels good to be home. It always feels good, but it's been feeling especially good these days.
Going to go putter and be quiet now. Everything feels like too much lately. I'm keeping anything that isn't solitude to a minimum.
I'm giving a Center For Inquiry (Ottawa) talk, and I'll sign books then too, at the start of February. That's going to be my sole "appearance" this year.
In February, I'll record that song for Rubber Clown Car (it'll be on an upcoming album), get a new computer (ugh), be interviewed on The Free-Thought Prophet podcast... And I'll work on finishing Hit the Road. I figure that book will be done in March, hopefully.
For the most part, I want to write and create quietly, in the shadows, this year, like the "clam inside its shell" type person that I am. Thank fuck I respect this now. More and more so. I'm like Groucho when he sings "Hello, I must be going."
Time to putter.





I just came across this knot article I thought you might like: http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2017/01/an-entire-year-of-knots/
Oh, thank you so much for sharing! :-)
I'm just reading, and playing with the Christmas toys, working, and other things. There is not much to say here. I saw a really cute police horse on our street yesterday. He was clopping around letting people pet him. I read some nice books. Mr. and Mrs. Bunny - Detectives Extraordinaire, and Lord and Lady Bunny - Almost Royalty. I think you might like them. They are locally written, but I got them in Portland. I got a lot more hotwheels, including the Jetsons ship! Also, they have Batman lego minifigs right now, but they are really cool. There is one where he is a fairy in a tutu, and one where he has duck feet and a rubber duck floaty around his waist. (I don't know what they are called, so I will call them floaties.) The bouncy shoes work really well, but they are extremely energetic, and I think perhaps better for summer.
Just so you know, just reading about what you've been up to just now put a huge smile on my face and warmed my heart.
I'm working on a little business venture over here. I'm going to be writing about it on Imzy in a moment :-)
Solitude can be so soothing. I've been loving on your macramé photos ❤ and definitely think working on the zine is a good idea for a soon to be snowy Monday. Maybe some hot cocoa too? Yes.
Thank you so much for your kind words about the macramé photos <3
I'll be zining at some point soon!! I can never accurately estimate how much I can do in any given day :-P
Doing everything I can to be as okay as possible these days. The Trailer Park Boys are helping a whole lot in that respect :-)
Pssst we totally picked up a VCR. Sega Genesis and a Game Boy Advance. Because we miss the finer things in life. Hahaha.
[two thumbs up]
I tell you, I play my record player just about every morning.
That's our next find with any luck.
I also scored an espresso machine. (Dad's basement is a good place to go treasure hunting haha)
Nice!
I like puttering around. That's basically what I did most of this weekend, since was semi snowed in. It was nice. :)
Puttering is the best.
We didn't get as much snow as they said we would (which is fine with me), but the days were ultra quiet anyway, so it's all good.
