    Bursting…

    Occasionally I have these periods of getting stuff done in a hurry. Sometimes they are just before or after a period of being down and unmotivated. I wonder if they have a name for that? Anyway as I can’t guarantee how long this little shot of energy is going to last, I am going to…

  • Absolutely Stunning…

    An absolutely stunning lack of awareness has been a reoccurring theme in my life, and not just self-awareness because that is kind of expected. While I can spot a rare piece of midcentury pottery from two stores away, my situational awareness for human interactions is almost zero. Recently I went to see a movie with…

  • The Wall…

    I’ve hit the wall, again…and I am struggling to push past it this time. I’m exhausted not just from the work but also from the keeping a smile on my face at the same time. Well maybe not a smile, more of a blank stare and an idiot grin. I can’t even tell if it’s…

  • Zero Day…

    To steal the nomenclature of hikers I am taking a zero day, a day to rest and recover and make no progress on the hike. Though I will probably do a thousand miles in my head thinking about jobs that need doing and budgets that won’t be met. I would love to claim the day…

  • The Things We Can’t Leave Behind…

    I am not religious, never have been. Raised by atheists and ignored by the usual recruitment wings of school scriptures or those child catchers that cults send out to pinball arcades and roller rinks*. I do however believe The Serenity Prayer is a good mantra to embrace. I know it has basically nothing to do…

  • Zen and the Art of Dashcam Videos…

    I have found that when I am feeling stressed, which is increasingly often this year, I have been finding it difficult to come up with ways to cope and distract myself. I am also very sensitive about putting my stress out into the world as I really don’t want to be the person who throws…

  • Midweek Break…

    I’m not actually taking any time off the break is more emotional than physical. Break is also probably a bit dramatic, because I am just a bit tired and it feels like it’s been winter for about a thousand years. Did I mention I was feeling a bit dramatic? I should be feeling positive because…

    Empty…

    The last few months has involved a lot of work to get the shipping containers to a stage where they could contain things. I had to install a road just to be able to get them onto the property just in time for the coldest and wettest time of the year. I then had to…

    There are Two Paths…

    Except one is a sticky mudslide. Actually both were sticky mudslides because groundwork, constant rain, short days, and subzero temperatures are not great for making ground you can walk on let alone drive on. Which would not be an issue if I didn’t need to be able to use the shipping containers until spring. I…

  • Nah, I’m Good…

    Occasionally I get asked out, no really I do. Sometimes I even go, have a coffee, and a chat but not too often because I know how busy I am at the moment so it’s not really something that seems fair to the other person. The other problem is that I am not just comfortable…
