Well, our power is back. But not well. We're having major power surges that we think may have zapped our deep freeze and possibly our washing machine. The lights will go all bright and then very very dim, and then very bright and so on and so forth. Supposedly we're on the Ameren "priority" list but I'm not holding my breath that it'll be back to normal soon. Hopefully I'm wrong. Alas, I cannot get on the computer from home until that is sorted out cause I can't afford a new one if it would zap it. And I would be a very sad Angie.

So in the past week I've done a LOT of painting and listening to music and listening to my inner voice. I feel somewhat calmer than I did in recent past. I guess in a way getting away from all the modern technology was healthy for me. I also picked up the Artist's Way by Julia Cameron once more. I forgot how amazing and eye opening that book was. I think I'm going to start re-working through it.

Supposedly the winners of the local writing contest I entered a few months ago were announced yesterday. I wasn't there, but no one called me or anything so I'm assuming I didn't win anything. Not that I'm suprised, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit disappointed. Oh well. There's always next year, right?

Last night I dreamt about my friend Sarah...I dreamt she was visiting and when I woke up I missed her SO much. *sighs* Just one of those things I guess.

Our power had to be shut off because we almost had a house fire this morning. So now we're waiting on an electrician AND the power company to fix all these problems AND my mom refuses to turn on the heat at all because she doesn't want the house to burn down. I may be going somewhere else tonight to stay, I don't know. I'll keep you guys updated.

>>>>> sometimes, the weather just blows <<<<<

Anyhoo... I know I've been MIA - and frequently remind myself and you guys of such facts, but I am much more at ease with life lately - and part of it has to do with my detaching my eyes from the PC monitor for a fews hours each day. It's weird how things become more...calm and you mind feels less "digital."

But that might be just me...

....and I still miss you guys something awful.

I am thankful of my relationship with Andrew - but at the same time, you guys mean the world to me, and it's weird not being able to spend the time my heart wants... ya know?

*sighs....again*

Well, I am here for ya honey. Always.

I would love to see your current paintings sometime, if you ever feel up to sharing.

I wish that I could return to it like that. I miss it muchly, and hearing you talk about it...painting, music, inner voice...makes me feel like I can almost touch the experience of it myself.

Please stay safe and warm!

*big ol' huge hugs* You know, Angie, sometimes it's good to get away from the PC. Amazing what can happen when you stay away from it. I know I totally use the internet as a form of escape, but at the same time, I feel like sometimes I put my life on hold. Heh. Guess I have some prioritizing to do, myself. ;)

Anyway, it sounds like this experience has been a positive thing, despite all the issues and problems. And you know I'm here for you to talk. Ever. I mean it!
