happy weekend

gearing up for my craft fair tomorrow- i hope to sell at least one item so as to pay for my entry fee :) haven't been up on the current events lately- i have been deliberately ignoring them. i did not vote last tuesday. it was a conscious choice on my part- i did not forget. the whole system is broken and i will not be a part of it. i haven't decided what i am going to do yet to help fix it- but in the short term i will not participate more than i have to.

so, i have much to think about. right now, i am navigating the minefield that is personal familial relationships. people are so complex and yet, so simple at the same time. i am adjusting to the role of doer- because quite frankly, there is no one else to do any of the stuff that needs to be done for my fam. sigh. i envy the youngest siblings as they are not usually the ones who have to deal with much at all- other than sibling jealousy :) anyhoo, chilly and gray here today with a peeking of sun. suppose i have to get used to it- it's autumn after all :)

i'll get over it

i love just about everything van morrison. yep. and having said that, the man has written hundreds of songs- lyrics, music, etc., and plays instruments and performs and whatnot. i have to say that 'beautiful vision' is pretty vanilla. i have much of his early stuff and a bit of the most recent- and if this is a harbinger of the middle- sigh. usually, there are great lyrics and great music- or at the very least a bit of both. this one has what i can only describe as early 1980's folk/new age/disco sounds with strange 'out there' style.

but, i'll get over it :)

fyi

over at the tree today- and the sirens
