Friday

[angelak]

Another Friday morning.
Good gods. What to do with life today?
I may not get to see Joe Diffy – and really, it wasn’t the concert I was interested in, it was alone time with my brother. So much for that thought. It’s doubtful he has gotten a hold of my mother.

My next question is, “what do I do?”
I know I could go out with Khaya and his friends. I just don’t know if I am up to it. Do I read one of the two books I am reading right now? This year I have been notorious for reading two books at once, and usually I don’t like to do that.

I am reading Starhawk’s “Earth Path,” at last. Also; I am reading a book I picked up last night called, “Hawaiian Magick,” or something like that, Scott Cunningham. I want to read some and get a feel for any facts I can glean before I get to Hawaii. What a waste to be oblivious on my first adventure out in the world. I saw it in Half Price Books last night and started reading it. I like Scott Cunningham.

None the less.
So, activity wise, I’ve been restless. The lack of exercise is creating a backlog of energy that I didn’t realize I had. And when it isn’t released, it’s not really manifesting the way I like it to. The simple solution is to exercise. It’s true that getting off work at 6PM, as I do, means there is no light when I come home. I could still bike ride, though I worry mostly about visibility in the dark with the added rain. People pay less attention to other things like bicyclists while driving in their cars.

I could swim, though I remember swimming 2-3 times a week for an hour each session, and honestly. Laps are just so tedious. I will admit, I was very fit at that time. My lung capacity was awesome. I hate how oblivious I seem to be when I am actually in a high fitness plateau. I mean, I never quite accept that “yeah, I’m at a hella fit place!” It just seems that I continually want to better myself. That’s fine, except that you never really appreciate the fitness you DO have if you never take time to accept it.

I think I should work harder on this aspect. Even now, when I feel atrociously out of shape, I know that’s far from the truth. I suppose I just set the bar too high for myself.

So, I *do* want to ice skate more. It’ll have to be more skating on my own. If I had spare cash, and felt up to it, I could even spring for some skating lessons. I’m not sure.

Structured? The drama on ice or synchronized skating fell through because it started too soon in the evenings in Everett. I just get off too late to have enjoyed that. I was sad. That was one of the things I was looking forward to doing when leaving Spell Circle.

I know – it gives way for other opportunities.
Ones that I am currently in the process of following.

Ah – regardless. Feels like I’m in the middle of a personal shift. Sometimes I mind, sometimes I don’t.

Anyhow. Had a pleasant evening with Khaya. Went out to dinner after his Tai Chi class – took a shower, played, and then went to bed. I took my restlessness out on him.

And showed him my Hawaiian Magick book. He seemed to be interested, so I’ll finish that ASAP and let him borrow it. I thought about using that book on the plane to Hawaii, and then I realized I wanted to read it NOW. So... I suppose I can buy some other trivia book about Hawaii for the trip over. That might be fun!

I am gearing myself up for a fun trip. Because that’s what it’s gonna be.

This – it feels, is almost a once in a lifetime chance. To spend so long somewhere like that. It may be. No one really knows.

Ahhh, yeah. I also thought it was particularly fun to plan it during the colder season here in WA state. Not that I mind the winter time, though you can bet it’ll be easier to come back after a little break from our darker side of the year here.

You see - I find the windy, rainy, cloudiness has it's own beauty. I mean, it makes me feel alive and awake. It's like when you're emotional. Not all aspects of emotion are fun, and yet, it reminds you - yeah, I'm alive. Sinking into the energy of the weather patterns has got to be one of the more beautiful things you can do this time of year in Western Washington.

And so? When folks knock on the weather and whine and cry and scream about how lousy the rain is, I just shrug and say that I think the weather is fabulous. Because to me - it is. Though - I still can't wait to be away and enjoy a different pattern for a short while !!! 13 days in Hawaii!!!

I can’t wait. I am struck like many are, by vacation-itus. I want to hurry up and not have to deal with work!!!!! And you can bet I will be trying to leave as many worries behind as I can. They’ll be here when I get back. And that’s just fine with me!

Besides. While I am over there, I also plan on meeting up with m7o7n7k! Yeah.

So – as I hate countdowns [I find them a bit torture-some]... I will just say that it’s not far off at all!!!!

On a grumpy note: I work this Monday. Growl. The holiday week is fine, that means I get Friday off, which does mean I get a 4 day weekend the next weekend... it’s just... but... but... I have to mail Lianna’s gift and take care of other business. :X And hang out with mom. Oh well.

Might have to hang out with mom before Joe’s party! Who knows.

I donno.
Anyhow. I still never updated on parts of my weekend. Too bad, so sad.

Nah, I'm not per se bored, I just am enjoying the fact I could do anything I wanted tonight.

Though whenever put to this option lately...
I just can't remember what to do :D

I hear you about the weather. I'll try not to knock on Stef since I know he was just griping about it, but I LOVE this kind of weather. It's relaxing, it's comfortable. I can listen to the rain and it's soothing. There's something very serene about looking outside and watching it rain. And it's nice and cold, which I like!

Cleansing. Ahh, so cleansing.
My mom has always loved the rain.
I enjoy sunshine and can endure the heat [unlike you, sadly!] though, there's a special part in my heart for the stormy, wonderful rain.

And the gusty, expressive wind.
We REALLY REALLY need to hang out sometime.
I miss you so much!
*hugs hugs hugs*!
Love you!

I love you, too! :)
