Memento Mori

	I look in the mirror and see your face.

It's growing colder outside.

Which is only fair and right and due, of course. I am the only one in my personal circle that loves the summer and the heat so it is only fair that the others get a time when they are comfortable. Plus there are some perks to it growing colder- the atmosphere of this time of year really makes me feel that a veil is lifting, among other things. It really makes me want to write- then again, many things do. But this time of year means I can pull out the fluffy socks and the snuggly blankets. I also have a good excuse to keep the windows closed because in the summer my apartment is not very comfortable to anyone but me.

My favorite holiday is coming up, too. I adore Halloween. Between that and what the sky and the leaves will be doing for the next month or so I feel really good about the coming times. I am looking forward to our con in the next week and *knock on wood* certain things seem to be working out better then I would have believed even a month ago.

On top of all that is the awesome feeling of accomplishment I have right now, making me feel much more positive then I would have ever thought. I got caught up on a lot of personal projects yesterday- from my back-up to completely starting fresh on a few things that I had fallen so behind in that I lost the taste for even trying to get caught back up (mostly TWISTED- I had tried a daily journal type thingy to keep up with my work schedule and what I wanted to do each day but that really, really went to hell really, really quickly...so I just pulled out my beloved Version 2.0 and immediately felt right at home again). Just knowing that I had actually gotten something done with my day- a feeling I have not really had for a long while now- made me sleep like a baby. Not one nightmare all night.

There was something so familiar and nice about going back to doing things like I used to that I felt like a weight had been lifted right off of my shoulders. It was such a small thing, too- still, I have noticed it is the small things that count the most. This did nothing but drive that truth further home.

So between returning to my own personal basics, actually getting some stuff done, and a certain switch being hit in my mind I am feeling much more...myself...at this current moment then I have felt in so very long. It's a nice feeling. I wish I could bottle it. There are a few special people I would love to be able to give this feeling to, even if I could not keep it for myself.

On the topic of what I am going to be working on now, I have eighteen PMs saved in a Notepad to answer as well as five emails to answer. I also intend to treat myself to the ultimate game of Where The Hell Did The Past Six Hours Go? by allowing myself to go through all the image sites, Bucket links and DA accounts I have been amassing in a Notepad for months now, all in the hope that the perfect time would come when I could sit down and do nothing but image hunt for a few hours without some pressing need to do something else. Finally, since I am actually getting a grip on all the stuff I have let go all to hell, I can actually do that, though probably not tonight. Tonight will be spent on PMs and emails; maybe Sunday night, though, after I get home from a meeting at work.

To give an idea of how many links I have saved up there are at least 162 Buckets and 23 DA accounts I have been meaning to fall into as soon as I could- image searches are so fun for me because I love finding stuff for other people. Not only do I get to find some pretties for my own collection but when I can find something that I think someone I know will love I tuck it into a folder for them and giggle like mad to myself. I am such a goober for stuff like this. xD

Since Cee is having so many computer issues I also thought that it would be nice to be able to find her some pretties, too, if I could. I know it does not fix the fact her computer is going bonkers but I thought that once she could get it to settle down and act right again that I could offer her a folder with goodies in it for her own amusement. Though I know I can not replace what she has lost. sweatdrop

So that is that for now. I have to work tomorrow and I am going to spend the afternoon with the boyfriend unit (if he wants) and then I am going to be back on here to finish up on as much as possible before work again. Plus I really need to get caught up on Mervel stuffs, since if all goes well the group will be getting back together Tuesday in order to play again. ninja

Now if I can only get working on getting the apartment in order...

Take care of yourselves. And be kind to yourselves- there's only one of you*, after all.

*Physically, that is.

	taps head There are definitely at least four of us in here. Three have given me names, one has not. And that does not count Rain. Cannot tell you how much knowing that you are feeling well relieves me and makes me glad. But it is a very really lot. And as for you bucket-diving for me... heart I really appreciate it. My computer feels lonely without anything saved to him. Hee-hee. I find this funny, as I am working on a collection for you as well. ninja This type of weather also has me wanting to bring forth the blankets. Not so much for warmth but more because I am a creature of comfort, and I nest. Also makes me want to bundle up other people- mostly you because I know you do not like cold. I have fleece blankies I can lend you, just so you know. Kitties seem to like them as well, so it could be for Candle, too. Ah! And Tootsday should be fine for me. And if it is not, then by God I will make it be. waves fist Offline · Community Member · Sat Oct 17, 2009 @ 02:28am

	Nice timing there, Cee. I guess you were writing that just as I finished reading, lol. Also, on the CAPTCHA I had to enter for that last comment, I got hit with the " o,o " face. xd Offline · Community Member · Sat Oct 17, 2009 @ 02:38am
