rowanfWell, I am even worse than usual with the journaling. What have I done since October 15th?
On the 16th I had lunch at Suraj with my friend Laurel from the interfaith community and had a great time catching up. I miss our Bridge CC group meeting regularly. I think things may pick up as the 2008 URI Global Summit gets closer and the 2009 Parliament.
After work I went to a Move On Vigil for Children's Health at 15th & Santa Clara Sts. There were about a dozen people there holding signs and candles. We got a lot of honks from passing cars. It doesn't stop the idiots in Washington from not funding health... but I'm glad to have done it. I left at 7pm to get home to a meeting with the coven to plan out our dates and foci for the coming six months.
On the 17th I went to physical therapy on my hand. I think I'm done with that. Not because my hand is all better, but because I think I know what to do and not do to help it get better. And I can't stand my insurance company paying as much as they are for the service.
On the 18th![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mr_kurt and I had lunch with spikeiowa and heard about her trip to WorldCon in Japan and generally caught up. I would really like to visit Japan someday.
On the 19th I hung out inworld some and ran errands. One of the really cool things I did inworld was a Burning Life Decompression Party with a performance by the ChangHigh Trinity Sisters. But the picture here is me dancing in an effects orb just 'cause I LOVE the shot!
Saturday the 20th I went to the Gardnerian Thirds Gathering and to the monthly Bembe. I went out for Ogun, Oxossi, Pombagira, Maman Brigitte and Xango. Thanks to my covenmate who is a butcher I had excellent marrow bones for Maman which I enjoyed muchly. And Anton Berg liquer chocolates for Pomba. Jess had cooked an incredible thanks-giving meal and the Irish Cream & Chocolate Bread Pudding with whipped marscapone was awesome.
Sunday I spent inworld a fair amount of time inworld. Russell & I watched Criterion Collection's Monterey Pop, a movie I saw in the theatre when I came out back in 1969. Oh wow. This movie made me want to pack my bags and head for San Francisco. It took me another dozen years to actually do it, but I can say this documentary was one brick on the "I must live in California" road for me. I put it on my Amazon wishlist.
Monday was a normal day with nothing in particular to report. I did reaffirm that I can't wear raw silk. (House of Innana were thinking of getting pantaloons in said fabric.) Russell and I had a quiet night together before his trip to Birmingham on Tuesday to see his family. This is a family travel month for us!
Tuesday I took him to the airport and had a good day at work. It was 4th Tuesday but I had said I wasn't going to cook and mess up a bunch of pots and things... so we were having pizza. Nine of the regulars showed up for Pizza Chicago and good conversation. It was my Rez Day Anniversary in Second Life and I went to a party that my friend Dae was giving for Catherine Apollo whose rez day is today but who has been inworld more like 3-4 years. Scar gave me a Robbie Dingo stratocaster guitar for my Rez Day gift. *bounce*
Today was Scar's Rez Day and I gave him a wonderful suit designed by Solivar Scarborough (Dae's partner). I will post pictures as soon as I can take some! It has been a good day at work. When I got in this morning though, I realized that my Kyocera 7135 has finally, irrevocably died. *sob* I was going to go over to the Verizon store to look at phones but they told me I should check with my insurance since I insured my phone. Lo & behold rather than just insuring against loss, it insures against everything. So they are sending me a Treo 700p. In a way it is a let-down as I was thinking of getting a regular phone and just carrying two devices. I'll see how it goes.
And that is a quick summary of what has been up with me this week.
