Notes:

1) Sleep is good. Sleep while cuddling between your loves is even better.

2) House, MD: Eh. I like it fine and will finish the first disk of season 1, but probably not go further.

3) I finally got a slot for the community garden! Well, kind of. I got a waitlist place and the guy who runs the thing thinks a space is opening up soon, plus I will be helping with the communal space so I can get to know the people there. That's *almost* like having a slot. I've been waiting so LONG (I moved here after the deadline two years ago, and then last year the person in this guy's job was retiring and not returning emails and phone calls, and then this year I've been playing phone tag with the guy for two weeks, and the deadline just passed, but he's gonna let me in anyway. YAY!

4) someotherguy left a gift on my keyboard the other day, and I ate it today. Look! (Well, only one, and not that exact one, but doesn't it take you back?)

5) Gonna work a full week this week, which is rare. So funny to feel like 40 hours is a lot after months of 60-70.

Un-wintering

Clearly, the winter is over in my body. I'm actually grateful to the Bay Area for teaching me seasons. We don't really have them in San Diego.

Signs that I am spring-ish:

1) I'm SO excited about the community garden; did I mention that?

2) I'm also excited about Food Not Bombs and Freeskool, both of which I plan to drop in on during my next days off. I'm feeling outward. All winter I felt inward. Y'know?

3) Part of why I can un-winter is that I've cut down on how much I'm trying to do in a week, from work to personal pursuits. This is a GOOD thing, and I'm not gonna let my current energy shoot me in the foot. I'm staying with my one-thing-a-day guideline for the foreseeable future, because it's really working for me.

4) I've been having so much fun watching someotherguy do his current geeky project, and now I want a geeky project. I think I'm gonna go ahead and learn PHP so I can put an interactive calendar on my website. I know I can pick up or buy the code, but I think it would be a fun thing to do for myself, and I can use the programming skills. Gonna do the PHP tutorial I started on last year; it was easy to understand.

Book Recommendation

Hey, look, Cleis has a webform for recommending books, and I can put in my email-posting address. Fun.

Hey, kightp!

Have you tried this stuff? Green & Black's organic dark chocolate with crystallized ginger pieces. I instantly thought of you.

Such a complex, grown-up taste. So good.
