brightbluegirlI can't say as I want to be here today.
It seemed so much like everything went wrong last night. The chiropractor was overbooked, so I went in for a 6pm appointment, and didn't get to see him for 30 minutes...
But hey, that happens sometimes. He's a good man, and he tries. No big.
And I DID find portabello mushrooms at Safeway, on the way home. And cheap strawberries.
And then I went home and tried to rip some songs for the ceremony, but everything was ripping as 55MB, wtf? So I gave up on that...
And then I tried to sew the edging on the ties for the couch cover I'm making, and I sewed two ties, but as I was working on the third one, the sewing machine kept fucking up and fucking up... and after the 5th time I pulled apart the bobbin winder and it's whole shebang, pulled out a piece of thread, cleaned the area, pulled it all together, and started again, and it AGAIN went KATHUNK right away, I gave up on that...
*sigh*
So I ate strawberries and read for the rest of the night. Strawberries really could make the world a happier place, I think.
And now I'm here, and I really don't want to BE here, and I COULD probably leave, and come in on the weekend, but I'm in that odd mood that has, as an attachment, difficulties making decisions. If I go home now, there are lots of lovely things I can do - I want to bake some bread, and although it's not the right season, make some pumpkin butter (I've had a can of pumpkin in my pantry for months now), and also some chickpea nibble type snacks.
I just want to go to the kitchen and lose myself in it.
*sigh*
Don't get me wrong - I'm not SAD, just in the wrong place for my mood. I know how lucky I am to have a salary instead of being paid hourly, and I know how lucky I am that I have flexible hours, even if they aren't completely flexible. I know, so I'm feeling a little guilty, and that might be stopping me from leaving.
In completely unrelated news, when I went to the chiropractor, he told me that my leg pain at the run was from my back! He said a pulled muscle or tendon would have hurt the next day, and that this was most probably because my weak back wasn't used to the whole 10k run experience, and something probably went slightly out of place, and pinched a nerve or something like that.
That makes me feel BETTER about the run, because it wasn't my fault!! And it still means I can strengthen and not have the problem next year. It's not a chronic always be like this problem, or anything.
I just told work I feel really gross and asked if I could leave now and make up my time on the weekend.
They said yes.
I'm outtie.

Date: 2004-04-24 12:32 pm (UTC)I just lost my heart to this most gorgeous of songs, and I think that you'd like it for your whatsit music.
It's called Come Try Me by Savourna Stevenson (from the Touch Me Like the Sun album).
Only thing is, it's impossible to download. I heard it in the background on a television show, and went 'ohmygod!', but it's not on kazaa and I can only find a little clip of it online. The album is total crap (entirely foofy harp music) except for that one song, but I think I'm going to buy it anyway.
I'll burn it and send you a copy. It brings the most wonderful tears to my eyes.

what television show was it?

Date: 2004-04-27 07:52 am (UTC)It was on Sex and the City. Not the first time I've fallen in love with a song used on that show - they generally have excellent taste in music. It's from an episode in the fourth season when Charlotte gives Carrie her old wedding ring to use as a down payment for her apartment.
