THOUGHTS! on writing, the dog, spinning


7:45 am
                This has become something of an addiction, writing my Morning Pages. And I have 2 thoughts (besides that one), let’s see if I can get them down before I forget them. First is that I wonder if it is perhaps not an actual good thing, writing my pages every day. As in, ….oh damn the dog wants to go out…..  coat on me, boots on me, diaper off him, bootie on him (get snapped at several times in the process), leash hooked on, latch door, coat off, pee washed off my hands. Now let’s see if I can remember anything before he barks to come back in.
                So it is actually good for me to write MPs? The idea in my small brain is that this becomes my main forum of communication. (and with whom? Effectively nobody). In other words it somewhat satisfies my need to express myself, so I do not care that much if I don’t ever talk to anyone in reality. It is of course a good thing in that it keeps me …..damn damn damn now the dog is barking….. oh, just at the neighbor’s car….. it keeps me emotionally intact I suppose. I don’t feel always frustrated and constrained and sour. It means I have less of a need to talk, which is probably the bad thing. The good thing would probably be to push myself to talk to others, to convey my needs and wants….ha.
                Ok second thought. Let’s see. Oh yes, I wonder (not for the first time) if I should somewhat separate the MP’s and the blog. After all most of this blathering is utterly boring. It has been really funny to see how many times people went to the blog to see the entry about my lendrum that I was asking re whether it might be fake (I think it is just really old) …..dog again…..  coat back on, open door, diaper back on, leash detached, hold his rear up by the diaper to help him up the stairs, leash off, bootie off, latch door… so as I was saying, most of the MPs are inordinately boring, not of interest to anyone but myself (and even then….). so maybe I should add things to the blog that might be interesting. Mostly I am thinking photos. As in, I should have taken a photo of all the brown wool I just spent the last several days spinning up for L. It was quite impressive, really. Turned out well and I really hope she now has enough. I did 2 skeins last week – about 6 oz, yesterday I did 4 more so that is 12 more oz making 18 which is more than a pound! Should be enough for a scarf you’d think! Well, she will finish it in Maine. Which is where she has gone, not to change the subject. Off on her winter wilderness trip and very very excited to be doing it. She’ll be back mid Feb.
                Well what else to blather about? I did not stay at work very late yesterday as I needed to get back to finish the spinning. I also did take Tigger back out with his cart and once again it did not work very well. I even raised it a bit which worked better, but he did not seem at all interested in going anywhere. At least after that he seemed more able to go with it. So now K is changing his schedule so he is home early  3 days a week, only late on 2. Meaning he will do dog duty on those days, but I will still, I suppose, have to be on the others. Well, at least on Tues.
                Ok, time to get going on things so I can get the 9:15 bus. Or maybe even drive in….
