just barely
Still alive. Hang in there, kitten, it's almost Friday!, etc., etc.
In my spare time (the tiny-ness of which is nothing new), I'm hanging out at the new getcrafty forums, although I rarely have anything to say -- if I did say anything, it would be "ditto" most of the time, and I'm trying to limit those kinds of contributions.
I've resigned myself to the fact that I'll never feel wholly integrated into any community, online or otherwise. Is that sad? Or is it realistic?
We're still living in a basement, which is okay; it's kind of nice to have limited responsibilities as far as house upkeep goes. We should be moving the house sometime in the next few months. This month, we have to try to get our loan extended, which will be a blast.
I'm feeling very negative today -- how about some positivity?
I'm actually getting my mom's bday present in time for her bday for once -- a necklace from Crafty Ass Chick. She loves mine, and tells me so every time I wear it, and she's been expressing interest in the things I buy from crafters recently, asking me where I find all these people who make things, and saying how she thinks it's cool, or whatever. So I'm getting her that necklace and some sushi magnets from Plain Mabel — they're by Sewing Stars; I have a set of my own, and they're so pretty. (If you haven't checked out Plain Mabel before, you really should. Great products, great site, and awesome customer service!)
I haven't figured out Father's Day stuff yet. That and the details of our upcoming trip to visit Ben's daughter, C, are the major things on my mind right now. The really big stuff is just too big to stay on my mind constantly; I just lock it up and take it out to think about when I have the strength and patience to do so.
(Ronald Reagan's death made me sad, although I don't really remember his presidency, since I was born the year he came into office. He reminded me of my grandfather.)
