Well, the internet is not helping me understand my eye condition. I'm glad i started the course of antibiotics because the symptoms have escalated to clearly being worthy of intervention.
I hate lethargy.
Logging yesterday: i went to Meeting and was more taken by Muse than the Light, as Christine puts it, and thought more about dye projects. After, i hid on a bench behind the meetinghouse for a half hour and chatted with my parents as they drove to see Angels and Demons. This seems very odd because it means that over the past month or so they've been out to more movies than i have: they were never go out to movie people. I wonder if this is how my Dad is adapting now that he's home much more with his semi-retirement.
I was staying for the discussion of hiring a Youth Coordinator at yearly meeting. My instinct is to ignore the issue of paying for something until we come to unity on the need. I feel it's a disservice to those with greater resources to say, "I don't need this because i can't afford it." On the other hand, i realize that this year the Friends Committee on National Legislation has had to cut back dramatically, so many social non-profits are struggling.
I ought to go into the office and write some checks, including one to the organization at Penn which helped foster my spiritual explorations into paganism, feminist critique of Christianity, feminist Christologies and reclamation of wisdom, and liberation theology.
I left after participating in the discussion for an hour, getting a sense for the breadth of reaction in the meeting. I picked Christine up & we went for a late lunch (with lots leftover), and then we went to a thrift store, where i bought lots of white, mostly-cotton clothing to practice dyeing. Home, where i tried things on and she rested, then it was time for our live Lexulous appointment with Christine's sister. We had networking problems on both ends scratching games, but we finally plaid until completion. A short bike ride, MI-5 and a light meal, and the day was done.
This morning i did some web research for Christine regarding gender confirmation surgery. (Actually, it's re-research, since she'd come to conclusions but we reason differently.) I'm a bit blue because when regarding the local surgeons listed on a compilation website, all are retired or dead. It's a bit depressing not to see more opportunities. The surgeon who works in Colorado has an extensive site and refers to how politics of the 70's and 80's shut down university research centers and limited training in the field. The expense is also a little daunting. I'd really hoped to find a surgeon locally. There is a very highly regarded surgeon in LA, which would be a little easier travel than the Colorado surgeon. (We're thinking 2011: things may change, but we move slowly.)
I made deviled eggs for a potluck brunch and joined friends for an hour and a half. Home now, and feel exhausted.
