right now
(I was thinking today that ‘right now’ is sort-of like a facebook status update or like a tweet, but without keeping to their character limit. Status updates are my favorite part of facebook, but I cannot get into anything called tweeting.)
- I am researching an alternative veterinarian in Ann Arbor. Moby eats really well, but his eyes sometimes look foggy to me. And Joon keeps getting yeast infections in her ears and I don’t want to give her any more antibiotics. Roxy will live forever.
- Laundry day, and Steve put in a load when I went to the acupuncturist, but I came home to find that my beautiful wool scarf was now felted. It’s okay, I’ll be okay without it, but it just looks so sad twisted and tight and irregular. Though it also looks extremely clean.
- I was just about to record another event happening right now, but I got interrupted by Steve who was apologizing again for ruining the scarf. Now he is online trying to find a replacement, which I already did briefly when I came home from acupuncture, but it is not even on sale anymore. It’s not a big deal, but in truth he has shrunk a whole lot of my sweaters and scarves, which is very easy to do. We clearly need a new system.
- My computer sounds like Arnold Schwarzenager, that’s what a friend said recently, because it’s whirring, working so hard.
- Because of the fertility drugs for the first time in my life I know what it’s like to be bloated. I never knew what that word meant. The acupuncturist put needles in particular points of my shins that are supposed to clear the bloating. And one point at the top of my head and one point in my forehead. Plus points in my feet that hurt my stomach they hurt to go in. I levitated.
- Steve just showed me a funny video on failblog.org. I do love that website when nothing else can make me laugh.
- In the studio today, I felt like an old lady painting dead flowers. It felt better to assemble my new scroll saw, which has taken me two days. I thought I tightened the bolts as best I could and then I bought a wrench. Amazing what a wrench does that my hands couldn’t! What felt tight to my hands was loose to a wrench, and somehow that was a miracle.
- Right now Moby is bugging the white cat and the more I yell at him the more his tail wags.
- The scarf is beside me here at the table, and it actually looks pretty right now, maybe it will just be a smaller, warmer scarf.
- I have to write this because I am being honest, but Moby just farted and I have heard him fart maybe one other time in my life.
- Steve is reading, drinking his tea. He keeps jumping up to get on the computer. His computer makes cricket sounds when he has mail.
- In the other room: the sound of the black cat coming through the cat door into the warm house.
