wayward wind

It was a windy day today, 

I think I conjured it up by blowing around 

and not doing work on the weekend. 

I woke up real early on the couch,

before the sun came out,

and did some writing 

had some tea and granola and a nap.

Met up with my visiting cousin Sarah

together with her friend we went to the art gallery,

visiting spots I have neglected.

The wind was fun with them

Picked up when I went to another cafe,

the office,

worked on a grant in between conversations 

about silent movie ideas and Sweden 

to a cafe friend I hadn't had a chance to speak to lately.

Met with two Kensington girlfriends 

I hadn't seen in years.

The wind was strong when I climbed home

it was almost as strong as the doubt in finishing the grant in time, 

but I stepped surely home and straight to work.

I decided to run to the post office.

Back home my little lotus petals toasted, 

incorporated laughing into yoga, 

and meditated about being earthly.

I poured myself another glass of sweet Italian wine,

and lazed in the living room with the Spaniard 

I will sleep well tonight

Streetside

I'm happily back in the city, beach/farmhouse sitting is a good gig but can be stressful...in a number of ways. 

But I handled the stress surprisingly well, really I was surprised.

I've been a busy bee these days, buzzing around having meetings. Buzzing from coffee while writing, sewing and writing some more. Also buzzing with happiness back in the Agricola St. hive, our new Spanish roommate is so so wonderful, we have become fast friends walking, cooking, he hangs out with me while I sew playing Spanish music off his computer.

I am learning more and more Spanish , por examplo: Soy gietana y bengo a tu casamiento ! 

....which means I am a gypsy and  am coming to your wedding.... I've already used this sentence a lot.

Things are going good with the production company , I have 2-3 weeks now to get together a drawing and music sample to go along with the formal pitch of the childrens show. In other workings ....actually volunteerings I am writing a grant proposal for the independent music label, planning to sew some merchandise bags for the Ghost Bees with a tea leaf theme , and I sewed up a display piece for a show at the eye-level gallery that opens tonight!

I'm going to try to get have art show suppers tonight!

Elin and Karin I wish you were here, Karin we could sew sew sew , and Elin I could use your violin skills for this show music! Ragnar you would do engineering!
