I've gotta say no to say yes
Apr. 15th, 2009 11:23 pmI think I was unclear earlier today when talking to someone. I am not actually a crankypants, these days. I am saying no to a lot of things right now and I am often prioritizing without mercy... it's because things are going well and I want to keep them that way. I'm so strong, I'm doing such awesome stuff, I do feel awake and shaken out of stasis now -- my self-manipulation worked! -- and now I just want to keep doing it all without shaking my year apart. Rather, I want to keep doing the short list of stuff that's really worth it, and I'm working on compiling that list, and if everything else goes to hell this year that's okay. Let 2009 be the year of things that were worth it.
Acrobalance on Tuesday: the best front handspring I've ever done. Wow! It felt awesome. And I also based a two-high (got someone to stand on my shoulders, while I was also standing) successfully for the first and second times ever.
Walking around San Francisco with Tomcat last week: the people and the place where a lot of drama once occurred. But we're older and calmer now, and infinitely more secure (at least, I am), and now I just want to stay in touch forever cause it'll always be interesting.
And the girl on the train today who saw me knitting said: "Is that a sweater for a dog?" and then said oooooh when I said no and turned the piece around to show the nice side. So did the three guys who were with her. It was funny.
Work today and almost every day: the base of the pyramid of things I'm supporting. It's the heaviest load, and yet it holds up all the rest, so it needs to be held well and steadily.
