So I've finished the back and left front of my current finishable project, as well as 1/3 of the right front. In a very rare warmish and sunny day, I hung it up on the clothesline to take a picture!

Today is a rare day in that I have the house to myself. My housemates both have jobs with JMU's food service and there was some big event all weekend so they both left this morning. Austin left around 10:45 to spend much of the day with his son. So I've been both busy and tranquil. I scoured the bathroom and did a load of laundry, but also, for the first time since I moved here, I actually did a ritual at the small altar I had set up. Yesterday had been a rather sorrowful day as I realized things about my relationship with Austin and that it will inevitably be coming to an end sooner than I'd thought, but after doing the ritual, as well as a follow-up tarot reading, I found myself in a place of peace that I haven't felt in ages. Another reason why I'm feeling more centered is thanks to fulfilling, grateful conversations with several close friends. Shout-outs to cim_halfling, persephone100, emansil_08 and koshweasley. I couldn't be walking this path without you.

And now to plug in and watch a couple of silly downloaded shows and maybe finish up the right front of the cardigan!

Well, the movie first. I adore it. Absolutely superb, and I hope to be able to share a viewing of it with friends in the future. I also found the soundtrack so I can listen to it. I should make an icon, too… I teared up when Aisling was singing to the cat, and cried a wee bit at the end. Highly, highly recommended film.

So today has been pretty productive:
☄ wrote a letter to my dad and stepmom
☄ did research to ensure whether or not I could take my knitting needles on the trip to England (seems to be yes)
☄ worked on my database consulting project for four hours
☄ had brief but fun IM chat with Callum, who I'll get to see again when I'm in England
☄ read part of a book
☄ watched 2/3 of a House episode and knitted
☄ went to a yoga challenge 75 minute class, then hung out in the sauna. Ahhhhhhhh.
☄ came home and even though it was 8:15 p.m., decided to wash my filthy car
☄ made a snack and finished the House episode; got caught up on LJ and email

Tomorrow I have two meetings, one with the executive director at the health center for whom I'm creating this database (what a steep learning curve!!), and then lunch with the director of the poetry center. As of tomorrow I'll have choir rehearsals every night, so not much down time. I do still hope to be able to have a new post of my original fic by the weekend, or during, and I'll be posting my lgbtfest fic on Wednesday. Woot! New fic from me! Shocking, I know. :P It is anymore these days. Maybe I will write another couple of Gimli-centric gapfillers, and there is the Lee/Andrei…
