We slept late and then ran errands this morning: farmer's market, recycling center for the dead blender, UPS to leave off styrofoam peanuts, dry cleaning. Then we visited Helen Wheels at the body shop. Christine and her friend spilt lattes during the accident: the spoiled milk odor gave a tangible sense of decay to the vehicle.
I continue to expect that the car is totaled.
The GMC Jimmy is so tempting, fantasizing about road trips down rutted roads and motivating myself to use public transit and self power. Christine wisely points out that my desire for morning time on the laptop is the major conflict with my motivation to self power and use transit. She's right.

Oh, but a V8 engine.....

Farmer's market was a lovely outing. We were expecting to meet some one there, but she wasn't able to join us. We still sat on a bench in the park while Christine ate her custard danish and drank coffee. Tulip magnolias held up their pink blossoms against the bright blue sky as the bright green grass celebrated the yellow sun. Trees have been in bloom for a week or so, and blossoms are beginning on my deck. I sat out on the deck yesterday late afternoon with a blanket over my legs and a heating pad against my back. Today the deck was even more balmy, definitely warmer than the house.
I filled the bird feeders and puttered on the computer while sitting on the deck, trying to draft this entry, and playing with Diaspora. Right now a beautiful tangerine sunset is sweeping the western view with a silver lunar crescent piercing the diaphanous clouds. The birds and squirrels scented the fresh food quickly, and the cats have been entertaining in their entertainment.

A friend came over for several hours and talked: she is connected with a different sort of business networking space, and i hope she can point me in a few directions that will support my work dreaming.

I'm scatter brained today, but i've taken pleasure in the day.
Spoon-wise we ran errands from 9-noon, and M visited from 2-4:30. 1.2 spoons for errands, 3 spoons for the visit: that's 4.2 spoons and twelve hours is 4.8 spoons. I need to get .6 more spoons done tonight and i'll have met my estimate of the day.
This spoon practice is helping me. Right now, i feel i am developing a good handle on baseline energy+time resources and the actual cost of effort. I imagine that when i can have realistic expectations of myself, i can then move to stretching in different ways.
