Too tired for a title

Ugggh. I am exhausted. I’m going to have to take a quick break from the FO posts today; although, hey look, it’s only 9pm and I probably could muster the energy… but really, I’d rather save the time for actual knitting.

I could tell you exactly when I had free time today, and what I did with it, and I think I will. I had 4 breaks today of “free time”: one was for breakfast, one for lunch, and one for dinner, and a fourth was 40 minutes long between breakfast and lunch, in which I watched an episode of Voyager and KNIT. That felt so good. The rest of the day, I was going from one place to another, attending class, working intensely on a project, and finally presenting that project (went so well! yay). I haven’t been done with classwork before 10pm the last few days (and on Monday I didn’t finish until 12:30am). So that is where my time has been this week.

There is a really sweet silver lining here: Because everyone in this class must only give this presentation once, I don’t have to worry about it again, especially when everything else is going insane and crazy and busy. So I’m glad it’s over with and I only had to forsake sleep one night this week.

So, in place of another FO post I’m going to announce something else entirely.

I’ve decided to start making a list of really inspiring posts I’ve read in the sidebar, starting with We Do The Best We Can With What We Have. I’m not entirely sure why but it really struck a chord with me. Then today Melinda posted One Connection Leads To Another: How to Start Work on Building Your Community. I’m still not sure how much of an impact this has had on me, but I know that all the support of the environmentalist blog-community has helped me a LOT in gathering the courage to reach out to others, even if I’m not entirely as good about it as these people are. The fact is that I’m taking steps in that direction. And if I could tell you how far I’ve come-!

It kind of gets me down that I can’t, actually. That some things need to be private, simply because others recoil from it. Socially stigmatized.

Wow, I got off track again.

As another aside, I want to point out that Sunbeam Soapbox will be moving within the next five days. I’m not sure yet where or what will happen (will people still find me?? I hope so! I love you guys! fsck, what about all the comments I’ve left on blogs to this address? this was supposed to last at least a year!), but I’m giving you all the heads-up. And if you have any suggestions of “where to move to”, perhaps an idea of a domain name I could buy and where I could host that, it would be SUPER appreciated. Just like the tea suggestions. Thanks, you guys!
