blissmorgan | Good Mornthing!

I feel like something is off this morning, and I cannot put my finger on just what that off-thing might be. Is it because we are getting into the gloomy days of mid-fall, and it has been overcast and raining? Is this just the psychic sludge of worrying about how to afford my car repairs, and how to keep my car from giving me CO2 poisoning until I can do so? Is it the approach of Halloween, and the accompanying stresses of making sure all the Spawn are prepped, making sure I don't fail out on posting Nightmare Fuel Project image prompts? Is it the rapid loss of connection and community that I am experiencing as I firmly step away from G+ and find myself doing so in a very different direction than many of the people that I have been in daily or near-daily touch with for the better part of a decade?

Perhaps, as I look up at that paragraph, it is all those things.

Yesterday when I got home from work I rearranged some of the tall black kitchen shelves closest to the window (like the ones you can see over my shoulder, but on the other side) so that there was room to put up the plants I had brought in. The rosemary and fern are still doing just fine. The baby spider plant looks iffy, and I think I might need to brutally prune back the wilty parts of the big spider plant so that what few strong parts remain will really be able to make it.

On the work front, I had the experience this week of, for the first time in a long, long time, being in a group of people going in together on a thing. In this case, we all chipped in $5 toward buying Mega Millions tickets, because it had reached $1.6b, and even if half of that went to taxes and it got split 8 ways, a hundred million dollars would change my life forever. Alas, we did not win. One of our customers pointed out (and rightly so) that it makes more sense, if one is going to lottery-gamble, to do so when the pot is not so high, on the idea that when it is big far more people will buy tickets, and more of them, which greatly changes the odds of any one ticket having the winning numbers.

I was thinking this morning about how the lottery is kind of like a Go-Fund-Me where the beneficiary is a surprise.

There's a little time before work, and maybe I should spend it tidying up, but instead I am going to see if I can find some writing/roleplaying options here in the Dream.

It could well be all those things.

Keep the windows cracked open.

I'm still figuring out where I want to post and where I'm really just reading to keep up with people.

Yeah - it's everything. I get tired from running my brain in circles also so I know that life stress tires you as much as physical exercise. You are doing all the things you can.

Keep the windows open and the trips short with the car is the best I know.

It's strange how far so many friends have spread around and how much work it is to keep up. I'm already starting to miss the "good old days".

Take care and good morning

I lieu of pining for good old days, I'm trying to focus my mental energy on good new days. Amusingly, that means that this morning I was farming my old livejournal in search of user icons to bring over here.

I find myself disengaged from G+ these days as everything on there now is talk of the exodus, or politics. The people I followed for other reasons have all fled to different corners of the net, and I find it hard to keep track of who is where and such.

I don't think I've checked Pluspora for days. MeWe is more frequent, but that's only because I get push notifications on mobile. It's good to see more of Linachu on there though.

Blah. Days.

I keep thinking "Oh, maybe I should check Pluspora" and then I don't. My creative energy is shifting, and that's a good thing. I'm posting here, and while the community is smaller I feel like that's helping me make deeper relationships.

I finally got back to doing some writing/roleplaying yesterday for the first time in months. I've not managed to find an active RP community on DW that suits me, so perhaps I shall make one. Perhaps.

Can't change too many things at once or I'll forget where the ground is.

If you start an RP group hmu. Asynchronous might work for me.

Morning. I didn't win either. Oh well. And yeah, I'm having....things... about losing the community on G+.

Also, I need more shelves.

Hope your day is good!

It was a weird day, but I learned some things, and therefore it was a pretty good day. More information is more good.

Good Mornthing!
