Okay, after a break of, uhhhh, a little while (make that 5 months), I’m finally going to post something. “Now isn’t that special…”
I guess part of the problem is that I’m just so busy, and carving time out of work is impossible, and carving time out at home is even more impossible. That plus settling in to a new place, pushing out releases at work, gamelan just doesn’t leave me with enough energy to get things done. I did, however, get to putting an organizer together, which might help a little. I’m still trying to work through the inner development stuff-I found a really good Steiner text on this. We switched to a credit union last month too-trying to get occupy moving forward a bit. I’m mulling over getting into politics-we might be close to getting the pendulum swinging the other way.
Onward. Here’s the recap: Moving, 4th of July, Matt to reading camp, Erika girls out day, girls sleepover, Colin campouts, church friends leaving, watched Jaws, Colin to school camp, birthday-party, show, moon ball, Erika to Breitenbush, Matt baking for church rummage sale, boys to music camp, doctor consult, baby shower, Hood River birthday party, Art in the Pearl show, rummage sale work, weekend at Ocean Shores with parents, 4th grade camping, church’s new building, dentist, boys to Ekone ranch & Opal Creek, sick, Erika to OWS protest, Erika surgery, short gamelan show, clean house, Halloween, indoor kite-sore, usher at church, gamelan show, church dedication.
