Apr. 12th, 2014 03:26 pmof things that don't make sense.
In other news: Newt may take a wonderous new opportunity, but it involves leaving here, and going far away. My head is thrilled for him, my heart is very heavy. So I enjoy my time with him. He is moving upstairs temporarily until he knows if this chance works out for him. Yesterday I took him and his fiance' to the shoe store, and he had me doubled over while he tried on flip-flop type sandals. Well, they were actually the type that fastens across the foot, not the thong style. He would try them on, and then kick as hard as he could away from himself, as if trying to chest kick an attacker. To see if the sandal held on, apparently, but I was dying laughing. Extreme shoe buying.
I can't write about Dove at the moment.

She is involved with some dark people and dark things. My baby. It is heartbreaking and I can't even bring myself to talk about it more than this. She lost her job, then her apartment, and moved back in with me last week. With her two dogs, one cat, one eel and a skink. Good lord.
As far as I am doing? Well, adjusting to living with another person again. Sometimes bumpy, sometimes ok. I didn't think it would be easy, so I am trying to be supportive and yet firm.
K and I are working on a project: Recording pagan chants, with he and I singing. He is brilliant, and the arrangements are exciting, all drummy and guitar and just wonderful. In order to get permission I have been contacting the original authors of the songs/chants that many people use, and I have been talking online with people I have always wanted to meet. Authors of songs and music and books that I have read over the years, and new authors who I have now forged arrangements with. It's mind blowing at times. So far all have been very gracious and helpful. Still waiting to hear from a few of them. When we are finished, I will set out a link so you can have a listen. We are going to cut the vocals next week, and I am so excited with this project. Our next project will be our own chants/songs that will be for sale.
Right now I am watching "Rev." It's on Hulu, a show about an English vicar (Church of England) and his very human trials and tribulations and tests of faith. Very funny, touching, poignant. Surprisingly, (or maybe not) I am finding many parallels in my own life. Trying to help people, do the right thing, and still struggling with my own humanity. Not a perfect human being, not by a far sight. And yet I completely understand the calling, and the sacrifices and the great rewards. It's all about learning, isn't it?
End of update. I just remembered I was supposed to call someone to perform a wedding. Argh. I was supposed to call a week ago but with the big move (and the upcoming one) I completely forgot. *face palm*. Then perhaps I'll walk down to the store and get a bit of wine and just try to chill out.
