distractions
Sunday, February 24, 2008 at 9:59PM things have settled down a bit, at least emotionally. i distracted myself well today, resulting in some feelings of accomplishment at least!
michael got a new website. at last!! i designed his last one for a birthday gift about 7 years ago I think? it's still hidden here for a few more days, but that will disappear soon. getting the journal properly ported over was easy, but getting the links fixed? ugh! between his penchant for naming files with lots of spaces, and the different ways he uploaded photos (and my lack of forethought) it was rather a pain. holler if you find anything missing or mucked up! he loves getting comments of course :) he's off at the studio again to work on getting stuff together for the show, I'm sure I'll be throwing together a postcard tomorrow as soon as he gets pics to me and approval from the gallery owner.
side note: watching the academy awards out of my left eye, and so far my favorites rock! marketa and glen are singing falling slowly (a bit dressed up, but the same thrashed guitar :), and marion cotillard just won best actress for her amazing portrayal of edith piaf in la vie en rose, a movie i loved. michael sang an edith piaf song at our wedding. fabulous movie too. hoping the once crew gets it for best song. (edited to add ... they did :)
ran again today, as well as a thirty minute speed run on the treadmill yesterday (after taking forever to figure out how to work the thing!) did 5.5 miles despite a lack of sleep and the most draining day of my period :). felt good. really good in fact, that i wasn't totally drained in the end, but still had energy and could have gone a lot farther. never could have said that even 2 months ago.
distractions can be good. i still have things to figure out. the fact that the finances are rather it the toilet isn't helping the overall stress levels, and is rather testing my faith at the moment.

I understand exactly where you're coming from.
Saturday we finally made it to church, we hadn't been in a few weeks with everything going on. The songs we sang just completely hit home and I bawled like a baby. It lifted my spirit in a way that just praying wasn't doing. I feel a lot calmer and refreshed now.
Here is a links to one that we sang, I'd link the one that really hit home, but I can't get the name right. I'll have to ask what they were and let you know. But this one always gets to me too if I'm having a hard time with something.

Yes distractions are good, especially when you really need them! Good for you on getting a website up and running. That is quite a feat if you ask me, without having two little boys underfoot! I really wish you were right down the street.
Wish I l\ived close enough to bring you a meal and take the boys home with me for a night or two when life is like this. Actually wish I could do it when life isn't as well.
Love you!
thank you all :)
