yes, I am a clutz, why do you ask?

A few days ago, I was learning over at my desk to pick something up off the floor, and clonked my head most soundly on the corner of the workbench.

The spot that I hit it at doesn't have much of a bruise, but it sure hurts, still. It probably doesn't help that I keep poking at it. *poke* "Ow." *poke* "Ow." *poke* "Ow."

I'm killing time before I go catch my vanpool. And cuddling the Cricket, because she thinks my shoulder is a good place to be.

baaa! Baaa, I say!

almost forgot my Thankful Thursday today.

Oooh, ooh, what am I thankful for *this* week?

1. A part of my brain I'd figured I'd turned off for good is turned back on, *and* it is obeying my every whim. muahahahahaha.
2. Remembering connections I'd forgotten.
3. The Gaia Consort concert was fun! As was afterwards. Mmmm.
4. Grrlgeek date with zaratyst tomorrow! Yay! (must remember to load my files on my keychain memory stick.)
5. Finally finishing with the damn Glory Hodgett story that had been haunting me for years. An unfinished story, especially one that I *know* is going to be short and self-contained, is like an unfinished knot.
6. Happiness is good. mholmesiv and zaratyst make me happy. So!
7. My willingness to try anything twice has led me into some *very* interesting activities lately. *remembers and wriggles a bit*
8. Mmmm, words. We likes the words, we do, my preciousssssssss.
9. The way raindrops cling to the ends of pine needles, capturing the entire world around them if you look closely enough. Yep. Thankful for that.
10. Learning, and relearning, things about who I am. Not needing words for it quite yet.
11. Surface tension. Of various sorts.

it's not a *new* poem, so to speak...

...but I discovered tonight that it's not on my LJ and thus not in my Memories section, and I'm a wee bit of a completist, so.

This one's meaning's a bit shy. It's sort of about sex. Well...kinda. It's also about other stuff. Er.
