What about this then? by Alex Grey , one of my favourite artists of all time. He also painted this bottom one of Adi Da, which I really love, and have as the background on my Twitter page. Alex has been into Adi Da for a long time now. I almost met him in about 2002 or so, when he came to our Sanctu...

Who the hell else is in work today?? Weren't most people more sensible than me, and didn't they take the day off? Hmm.. Should have had another 4 day weekend. I'm still a little disoriented from New Years, and it doesn't feel like a Friday. :-) Had a great New Years, we went over to see my soul-sist...

OK, 3 days of normality again, then another day off work. I could get used to that. Having 4 days off has been awesome. I've caught up on some much needed sleep, and read a lot. Almost done with Singing For A Spirit, what a lovely book, very moving. The last section is an account of life as a Sioux,...

... but more snow is falling this morning. We're forecast another 2 inches, but I think we've had that much already, and it's still coming down. It's a bit wet-feeling though, so perhaps it won't stay around forever. I made it into work this morning, I was waiting about 40 minutes for a bus, and was...

I'm in Holiday Paralysis.. I panic when it comes to gifts, and what to buy people. It'd be bad enough, but I really never want to add to people's diabetic comas or waistlines, and buy them chocolate, cookies, candy, alcohol, or any of that crap. People have enough to contend with, without more choco...

I am still loving the snow! I'm not sick of it yet, that's amazing. It's fun. Robert and I went out for a long walk in it last night, across shiny sidewalks and chain-rutted roads. We were the only ones out though, I was surprised. It was a perfect night for a walk, too, clear and sparkly and silent...

Doing better today.. I'm in a better mood, too. I had a rough day yesterday. I felt pretty ill again, and ate next to nothing. I've lost 4lbs this week. I ended up leaving work early yesterday, I just couldn't quite deal with it. It was nice to be home before it was dark. Today's been much better. M...

I got home ok last night, thankfully the busses were running and I didn't have to walk the 3 miles home in the dark and snow, after a long day alone at work with no break. I wasn't in the best mood last night, and was definitely feeling sorry for myself. I could have taken a break yesterday, but I j...

The view from my office window this morning... My bus was on 'snow route', so I had 3 or 4 blocks to walk, through the neighbourhood, down over the hill, it was all lovely, and the fir trees are beautiful! I feel all 'seasonal' today. I was about the only person in at 8am though. I think we're on ab...

I made it into work today, barely. I'm not sure I'll stay the whole day, I'm still really tired and a bit dizzy-feeling, but my cover is working on payroll this morning, and it would be hell for her to try to do my job as well. I want my paycheck. ;-) I'm feeling a bit better, but yesterday and Sund...
