weekend is here (life)

My first mini-week has ended and another one will begin after this long weekend. I am currently sitting in comfortable clothing (my only effort towards falling asleep) and a little bit board. I watched a movie with Samala and am now looking for entertainment. Unfortunately, my apartment is a bit devoid of entertainment that I want to take part in at the moment and it is rainy outside. So, I'm forced to sit here and wait to fall asleep. I could read, or knit, or clean. But, I'd rather blog (even as I sit here without a real focus).

There are these people in my life that I never get to see and the level of missing I feel for them is on a sliding scale. Right now, I would love to have a small gathering of DC friends, out west friends, and all points north friends over for a little dinner. Someone would bring wine. I'd have some vegetable based foods. We would sit and talk. It would be good and easy. Instead, I have to think about the events we now share with one another. Some get together for New Years and 4th of July. Some get together for winter gatherings. And, others are more individualized trips. Those times are good. And, it seems like the time in between is fast. Is this how life is...a series of events strung between normal life?

I think the tired is kicking in. Maybe I'll go start a letter to Amils. That always makes me so sleepy. She ends up getting multi-day letters stuffed in an envelope. It's more like a diary...a blog, if you will. But, with the great sound that pen and paper creates when combined.

Sleep well.

{p.s. the sliding scale can be applied to many levels in my life...level of confusion, obsession, dedication, and observation. I wonder if it will make an appearance again?}

{p.p.s. just so you know, confusion is a 2, obsession is a 2.4, dedication is a 3, and observation is a 1 at the current moment.}
