More apocalypse, less angst
This really is just a placeholder update as I’m feeling a bit behind on the blog this week. More interesting writing to follow shortly.
I have been away again, but now returned to my desk for another few days of working before more union leave that starts next Friday. Made my reservations today for the union convention in Toronto at the end of April, confirmed a work meeting in Ottawa for the middle of May, still considering playing a show in Seattle on the Memorial Day long weekend….. honestly, I am looking forward to a summer where I go nowhere except to the Island and back. Seems that travel and work are my themes right now, with the occasional good shag thrown in to keep me centered (and thank goddess for that small mercy!).
I am feeling pretty good at the moment, a little tired today, but more balanced than I have been in awhile. I have been enjoying the guy in my life a lot lately, though we don’t see each other more than once a month, and am using the non-confining nature of our relationship to see if I can re-orient the way I am in relationships. Sometimes I still panic, but that seems to be mostly about projection. At least I understand it to some degree, even if it’s not always immediately correctable.
The ferry accident last night made today a busy one at work – I’m a bit spaced out after the fast pace the day started with…. hopefully to return with something more exciting to say about it all later.
the sinking ferry — i couldn’t beleive it when i read the news yesterday. there have been a lot of news articles in the TO papers praising the skills and courage of the Hartley Bay band … which is really good. it is about time the media acknowledges these things, and that FN people saved Whitey’s ass (again)!
it must have been a madhouse indeed at work … preparing for oil spill emergency? that oil slick is frightening …
