This Time
Last Year
(small wave) Um, hi.
No, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. I'm just no longer doing journal entries from work, where the connection was much faster. I'm getting over my spoiled phase (and pricing faster modems).
Well, I've been meaning give y'all a garden update for some time now, and Mary Anne's entry seems to have worked as a catalyst. My garden did not come with so elegant a space as hers; I do not have a terraced yard or established, overflowing roses. I don't have gobs of space in existing garden beds and I probably don't have the room for them anyway.
I'm going to try to make this a new section of the journal. I'm thinking of calling it, "How does your garden grow?". Or maybe the ever-so-much-more-creative "Heather's Garden". Or how about "All things Green and Growing (in my yard)". Anyhow, here's the garden section. Eventually I'll have scanned garden photos in and I'll try to keep garden-related entries in this area. I know, promises, promises.
I haven't had enough sleep this week, so I'm bordering on depressed. I know, what else is new these days. Well, I have the peculiar feeling that if I happened to be well-rested right now, things wouldn't be so bad. Oh, hell, they're actually not so bad - I'm just having trouble making any sort of decision. Except crepes. I *did* decide on (and ask for and got) crepes for dinner with David tonight.**Yes, he's still my friend and we still hang out.
I'm tired because I stayed for the Kiva hot tub portion of Carol and Jodi's housewarming party Sunday night. All my favorite people were lined up along the hot tubs, and those that were sitting out of the water (to cool off) were rubbing the shoulders of those that were soaking. It was so nice. And I made a new friend, Rob, who happens to live not too far away in Berkeley. So it was a gold and silver evening as far as friends went. Which, as you can imagine, I found very reassuring given recent events.
So, hopefully I'll be chatting with you regularly. And thanks to everyone who has written with kind words. I never thought, when I began this journal, that I'd find such solace and comfort through its readers. My paper journal never bothered to tell me it cared like you guys do :-) Thank you.
