what another day!

i finally resolved a matter with a person. now i just need to write up a document and get a signature on said document by said person.

i got a 400 pound weight removed from my shoulders. this came from much discussion with some really wonderful friends yesterday. and during this process i didn't loose someone i was afraid i might loose.

because i dealt with the above matter and decided not to escape town (at one point in the day i was planning on going up to canada for a number of days to be determined later) i decided instead to treat myself to a pair of acorn socks instead. i've not gotten a new pair in 3 years, and i love them. i also got some snow seal for my boots, and snow sealed them, and my birkies.

then i ran around town checking about a fold up hiking pole that will pass security and be durable enough for wilderness hiking. i've got one right now, but it won't fold up enough, and it's got a really sharp point at the end. its a great friend, but unfortunately not good enough :(... rei has some, but they cost a lot and i don't want it taken from me, and i'll need it for the hills of greece. and then i'll want to use it for other hiking, cause they are very nice.

after all that i went to the store and got some junk food and snacked on that for a bit and then crashed on the couch for a bit. then called mom back. and now i've got to clean out the litter box and deal with these boxes in front of me.

this post doesn't nearly give this day justice, and it doesn't nearly do justice to the multitude of feelings that i've felt over the last 24 hours. and my mother, she has blown me out of the water. she's totally supportive and listening. and i've got friends who have been there, listening and offering advice, and two of you read this, so here's a *kiss* for both of you! i'm glad that the situation has finally come to some sort of resolution.

oh, and i can't forget, i found out that my friend is, indeed, visiting over new years, so i've got to get cleaning. i'm totally psyched. i can't wait to see her :). even the cats are psyched :).

what a day, yes, what a day.

heheheheh... that's funny! Click my link in my previous comment and it goes to my friend George. Guess I need to look a little at what auto-complete puts in there before I hit that post button huh? Or maybe I need more sleep? Or maybe you should go read George. He's very sweet and writes wonderfully : )

I sang for you
though you did not hear
and I sang to the tree spirits
asking them to release your fear
every living thing is vulnerable
I'm powerless to change that
Still I sing for you

I sing with you
though you may not hear
we sing for your spirit
may it rise above fear
every living thing is vulnerable
I'm powerless to change that
Still I sing with you

brooke
brooke is a lesbian, radical feminist, cat lover, bibliophile, non-smoker, unitarian universalist (though she doesn't go to fellowship on a regular basis) and in the process of becoming athletic again. she dreams of being jeanne d' arc and swooping in and saving those that need saved (though she'd rather not be burned at the stake). she is a loyal friend who will do anything she can for those she loves, but she can flakey sometimes when her depression flares up. she is a loner. a southerner self-transplanted to the pacific northwest in 1998 and now believes that it doesn't rain enough here. she's known for her honesty, she can't help it, its the only way to be. she is 4'8" tall, and round. she has natural blonde hair and she also has blue eyes. she is very intense. she hates small and large crowds, she prefers the one on one or the one on a few. she has no idea what she wants to do with her life, though she would like to see more of the world than what she has seen so far (a good part of the continental united states) and she very much wants to be a mother. finally, she has huge crushes on alix olson and carolyn gage (these are from a far).
