looking up

Parki, Craig and Jeff. I love technonerdboys!

E-mail woes continue. Haven't been able to pick up e-mail at ALL this morning. :-( Perhaps it's for the best; part of me is convinced that by the time my e-mail does come through, it'll be 99% spam.

Househunting also continues. We keep finding houses that are nearly perfect for us except for One Thing. Eventually, I'm sure, we'll start to get desperate enough that we'll be more willing to compromise, but right now we cling to the feeble hope that our Holy Grail of houses is still out there, cruelly beckoning.

Meanwhile, I'm starting to experience some of the disadvantages of living in limbo. I recently ran out of my temporary office supply stash and had to go buy more, for example; frustrating since I can mentally picture the big box in our storage locker full of the same supplies. I'm also running out of places to put things so am starting to dump stuff in a Miscellaneous Drawer in the corner of the living room I use as my temporary home office. Not sure what I'm going to do when the drawer is full.

On a brighter note, however, my arm seems to have fully recovered from the fall on the ice, it's gorgeous outside, and I'm typing again. I still use ViaVoice sometimes to help extend my "daily arm points", but things are definitely looking up again. I'm able to write more every day, and have also started songwriting again. Might even try resume playing harp and guitar soon. I've had to miss the past few Tranzac Irish sessions because of babysitting, but I plan to get back to my whistlestuff soon. My German studies have been newly inspired by a gift from Gary McGath: a gorgeous hardcopy German version of "The Neverending Story" by Michael Ende (thanks, Gary!).

FilKONtario is next month! And yay, Rand's girlfriend Erin says she's going to be attending, so it looks like we're going to meet in person at last. :-)
