"to let us know that love is still okay..."

[judecorp]

I guess I'm all official now, since I paid half of the Chorus dues tonight. So now I have a number, and music, and practice tapes, and I paid dues. All I need now is to be in the Member List. La la la. Daina is fun.

I am so excited to only have one more day of work left for the week. Oh glorious rapture, I am excited! I didn't get home until 6:20pm tonight, and likely won't get home until 6:45pm tomorrow, but it will be /so/ worth it. It will also be worth it to clip this cat's claws, since I almost just lost my leg. Owwies.

Do you remember those days when I wrote something of substance? I do. They seem like distant memories. Work seems to drain all philosophy out of me, leaving me with monotony and frantic rushing. I have a hard time falling asleep at night because my brain wraps around itself, because I need an outlet. I just don't have the time to let the words and emotions out here before I lay down. I'm really just running and multitasking until I drop. For example, as I type this, I am also listening to my Chorus practice tapes (hoping to learn what I missed), clipping the cat's claws, and trying to wrap up so I can spend some time with my Jennifer. Argh! No wonder I have anxiety! It's a vicious cycle - I feel out of control because I'm always busy, so I want to clean, but I don't have time to clean, so we get messes, but I'm anxious, so I freak out more about the messes, and then I freak out about not being able to clean, and about being too busy. Jeeze, someone give me a Valium, eh?

(And yeah, if you know her, this is now your time to all feel terribly bad for my Jennifer, because, well, she has had to deal with this for about the past month and I'm pretty surprised she hasn't run screaming back to the coast yet.)


I can't believe this was only 2ish years ago.

Holly Near ROCKS! and so do you! :D

How easy is it to clip a cat's claws? Cuz I swear my cat's should be reghistered as a lethal weapon, and when I pet her, she likes to dig them into my leg and I have scars. :( But I've always been afraid that she wouldn't be so into me clipping them and it would be hard and not get finished and then she would be traumatized by the experience and hold a grudge. whew. I may need some Valium as well ;)

Pass the Valium around!

Really, it depends on the cat. Two of our cats are so comfortable and laid back that you can actually have them in your lap (or whatever) and hold their paws and clip the claws. (The front is always easier than the back, dang it!) Just make sure you don't cut to the pink part (the quick) because then they'll bleed! :(

Our other cat is a certifiable psychopath, and you can't come within two feet of her with any sort of medical-ish procedure. So it all depends on your cats. :)

I had never heard Holly Near before, but our Chorus is singing that 'Simply Love' song, and I LOOOOOVE it!

omg. holly near. good. really good. wow. If you are the seeking out music online type, then I would check out Singing For Our Lives and I Ain't Afraid. (I can send you mp3s if you like. The former she wrote in response to Harvey Milk being shot. She is essentially the founder of women's (folkish) music. She is a goddess.

Oh, Jude.

I don't have any valium but I do have phinergan. It makes you sleeeeeeeeeeeepy. I slept 12 hours last night.

Okay, cool! You can send mp3s to me at smurf at columbus dot rr dot com (it's the only place I can receive mp3s)! :)

YAY!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Are you feeling any better?

[communista.livejournal.com]

Only slightly. My stomach is still really queasy and I'm just *hoping* I don't have to go to the hospital. I'm waiting for the lab results on my tests. I'm tired of crackers and gatorade. :P

Wow, with hair, you look kinda like an old friend of mine.

And not at all like yourself.

[hope-persists.livejournal.com]

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

[judecorp.livejournal.com]
