and the world still...

whirls around?... yeah, well, i do, but being a single point in space for a long time, it is not easy to perceive sometimes (sometime?)... sharing becomes imaginary and imaginary becomes real and real, well, that becomes a semi-conscious dream that fades in and out of memory like the sun on a partly cloudly day, or less, but definitely not more...

huh?... what's that got to do with thereal?...

anyway, today was a quickish day at work, enough got done to keep up with the piles on my desk and a couple of surprises were dealt with, one special request was handled, and i left at 2, thinking i've got leftovers at home and i'm gonna enjoy some rare afternoon time, maybe clean or unpack some more... then, all of a sudden, i decided to go shopping...

some $200+ later, i have more food in the house and an assortment of other stuff i needed to varying degrees,,, air fresheners and carpet fresh powder cuz the place could use them and dryer sheets cuz the clothes could use them and bleach cuz the whites could use them and a tool kit to open the laptop to clean it out so it stops overheating and to open the hot water heater to turn it up so the water is hotter and a comforter cuz winter is coming and i haven't had a comforter in some time and an assortment of other odds and ends... and assorted foods... it's amazing how quickly the bill rises...

so i got home around 4:40 and ate and somehow, the whole evening flew by... i fell asleep here, that's it... i woke about 9pm and rasputin called about 9:30pm and i just got off the phone... we worked through some computer problems he was having with precious' old computer and i decided the rest of precious' birthday/holiday gift would be a portable hard drive cuz it is what they both need and she wants (it'll allow raspy to clear all her stuff off her old computer so it can be reformatted and work much faster cuz she has a lot of crap on it and probably spyware and stuff that slows it down)... my new laptop shall wait a bit longer...

and now, i am going to give myself some writing time... still dreaming of the partner, the muse, the constant companion, the editor, the collaborator, the friend who pays attention to all the little details here in the physical spaces (and in my written gardens too)... still watching the world still spinning around... still loving every minute of it, even as i hunger for more... still hoping you are well and happy and finding your dreams... and still finding smiles and laughter after all is said and done... take care and if you do thanksgiving, enjoy yourself...
