And the biggest full moon in a long time has brought boons to my home. :)
Eric has sent the "get your stuff and get out" email to Tim. He officially doesn't live here anymore.
I called Frank last night and it's on for tonight-- I record my trad. demo. tree songs, and then I start burning copies and putting them out to local places. I kind of wish now I'd gotten it out sooner-- can you believe I forgot about St. Pat's??
Last night also heralded another month of active womanhood. I know it's a little silly to be grateful for that, and there are certainly months I wish it didn't hurt quite so much, but there is a kind of advantage to having a certain time of, well, enforced introspection. It doesn't happen every time, but most times it does. It's also the time I allow myself to have chocolate. :D And there is a certain pagan part of me that considers having it come on at such an amazingly full moon a good omen. Though I suppose considered from another perspective it should be exactly at the dark of the
moon.
Yesterday it rained and rained, harder all the time, all day. It was really good because we need the rain here, but it just felt good as a day-- it was warm and windy, and almost all the snow was gone, things were melting, crocuses starting to sprout their long green leaves. It feels good. If the next two weeks stay warm, we may get through to spring yet. Of course, I think it will herald an unusually cool, wet and foggy summer, bad for the schooner trade, but I don't mind if it will break this drought. Unfortunately, I'm not sure more unusual weather is the answer.
I stayed inside and watched TV, practicing guitar and doing stretches. It felt cozy to be inside with the rain going on-- it felt like spring. Actually it felt like winter in Atlanta, which is maybe what I'm missing. We do tend to idealize what is farther away, and trivialize what is close by. Which is why people cheat, I guess.
But that's another reverie.
