It’s another beautiful blue skied autumn day. I got up late, as I was pounding the keys still around 2 AM and didn’t get to bed until late.  I was out for a while last night and after getting back home fooled around a while on the old ‘puter and then got to some writing. I feel like I need  time to myself in the throes of darkness to write sometimes.  Makes it tough when I get sleepy from a full day of stuff. lol  Such is the life of a budding artiste!  lmao…

I am still undecided about what I am doing tomorrow night. I really want to attend the potluck and speaker, who is one of my 3 year old sponslings…and I am supposed to lead the final Deep Ecology class at the same time. I hate this! I am still cooking the turkey for the potluck and have to make a vegetarian dish for the other, which is a potluck as well. Sigh…I am not really undecided, I guess…I do have a firm commitment to this class and we have speaker meetings every month.  There won’t be another class til spring, and I may or may not take it. Depends on the topic, I guess.

I have the turkey out thawing and will roast it tomorrow morning. I had a suddenly free  day today when one of the women I meet with on Wednesdays had a chemistry lab that she had to attend. Fine with me…I didn’t have to get up at 5 and take himself to work on 3 hours of sleep.  lol  That’s a blessing right there!  I am still in my flannel pjs and am finishing my second cuppa joe.  Once I get dressed I’m heading out front to pretty things up out there.  I have some pumpkins and stuff to arrange on the table and will make it all nice and pretty. Sweep the leaves off the porch (which will last about 15 minutes) and  shoo away the gazillion ladybugs (which will last…uh…NOT AT ALL!!!!)   I’ll be glad when they’ve finished their ritual terrorizing of my home…

Need to call my sister today and check up on her and the wayward niece who, of course, never returned my calls. I didn’t expect her to.  It can’t be easy, being face to face with your wreck of a life at 23 years old.  I wish I could just bottle up some recovery and send it on over…pity it doesn’t work like that…

I somehow managed to almost  double my Nano word count last night. Full steam ahead!!  I’m sure that will change soon.  lol

Reading to do, chapter called Ritual Is Essential.  I believe that.  Procrastination seems to be the same for me….

Read a great quote on someone else’s blog and can’t remember who…EO, maybe??  It said “May all beings be free from the tyranny of MY expectations.”   Food for thought…

Blessed day to you all.  I have a full, casual day ahead. Tonight one of my other sponslings will be speaking at 8 o’clock.  Can’t wait to hear her version of the truth! lol (I know you MIGHT be reading this!!!!)  lol   Looking forward to another hour and a half of fellowship and recovery.

Namaste.
