Not Drowning, Waving: Age
http://rainingagain.blogspot.com/2010/06/age.html
Not Drowning, Waving. Sunday, June 06, 2010. And the canine youth amongst us. Instead, we ate German. Bratwurst, sauerkraut, potato salad, German beer, and German chocolate cake. I ate myself stuffed and devoured the time with my aging parents and our aging family friends. Happy Birthday, Papa (the occasion for the festivities). You have always surrounded yourself with interesting people and I am happy (as are Ann and Rubin) to be counted among them. I vote for the latter. View my complete profile.

Not Drowning, Waving: Queer Reflections
http://rainingagain.blogspot.com/2010/05/queer-reflections.html
Not Drowning, Waving. Wednesday, May 12, 2010. I am in my final month of teaching. After 24 years, I've tried to "retire" once before (two years ago), but then the financial crisis hit and I panicked. So I took a part-time job back at the old school where I taught before. The money has been nice, but I am so ready to be done. But Colin' being a jerk," said another in response. "Can't he just be comfortable with himself? There are parts of teaching I'll miss. Reading novels out loud and discussing the...

Not Drowning, Waving: Food for thought
http://rainingagain.blogspot.com/2010/06/food-for-thought.html
Not Drowning, Waving. Friday, June 25, 2010. Since he joined our family, Rubin has been a challenge. Not a bad one, just testing our patience (mine in particular) and posing problems we never thought we'd have to deal with. The main problem has been his inconsistent eating habits. Rice, boiled chicken, cottage cheese, and pumpkin. He won't eat it. Still, we have this psychological battle going. Ann tried feeding him, but he'd only eat if I weren't in the room or if I left his food out while I went to...

Not Drowning, Waving: Can't See the Stars
http://rainingagain.blogspot.com/2010/03/cant-see-stars.html
Not Drowning, Waving. Tuesday, March 16, 2010. Can't See the Stars. I can't see the stars tonight - way too many clouds along with wind and rain. But if I could, I think they'd be out of whack. Here's why:. Friends' house got broken into and ransacked today. Rubin's friend Monty is feeling crummy and has the squirts. The doctor finally put me on blood pressure medication.it makes me feel old. And go over the edits for my Caylx piece. But there's always tomorrow. I need a bath. I need something sweet.

Not Drowning, Waving: Where I Stand
http://rainingagain.blogspot.com/2010/05/where-i-stand.html
Not Drowning, Waving. Sunday, May 23, 2010. At least it's no longer REI where I got home at 10 and worked one day every weekend. And I was sore from lifting backpacks onto the backs of rich people for less than $10 an hour. I'm hoping it all levels out after June 11. I need it to level out. I need to feel the rhythm again in my life. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Stuff White People Like. Peeing in My Pants. Been Awhile.so much has changed.

Not Drowning, Waving: What Is Seen
http://rainingagain.blogspot.com/2010/07/what-is-seen.html
Not Drowning, Waving. Saturday, July 17, 2010. Teaching was all in my head. It was endless hours of questions, of thinking one step (sometimes ten) ahead of what needed to happen next, and of planning for all the options if things didn't go as planned. I came home exhausted both physically and emotionally though I didn't put out much physical exertion. Still my body was tired because of the obstacle course my head had to navigate.

Not Drowning, Waving: The Next Move
http://rainingagain.blogspot.com/2010/08/next-move.html
Not Drowning, Waving. Sunday, August 01, 2010. I've finished my first round of small animal massage work and am on to the next and hopefully final level before I become licensed. The next round looks much more involved something for which I feel both apprehensive and excited. I want the challenge though I know I'll be stretching my 51-year-old brain in ways I'm not sure it can stretch anymore. We'll see how it goes. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Herded cats for over 20 years now I'm walking dogs, w...

Not Drowning, Waving. Saturday, May 01, 2010. Been Awhile.so much has changed. I know, it's been awhile. It's been such a long while I forgot my login name and password. Not that anyone cares. I write this to clear my head, which of late is very crowded. I woke up at 5 this morning. I'm bummed that I couldn't sleep longer especially since it's Saturday and I really have no reason to get up early. But here I am, awake, my head spinning and my feet cold. I know it's temporary. I know the teaching will ...

Not Drowning, Waving: Coming Back
http://rainingagain.blogspot.com/2010/06/coming-back.html
Not Drowning, Waving. Sunday, June 20, 2010. Right now I'm sitting at my friends' computer at her house in Port Townsend. I haven't been back to PT in two years and I have mixed emotions about it. We drove in yesterday and were happy to see the skies clearing and the sun trying to make an appearance. It was good to leave the rain of Seattle behind, but there is so much more to a place than the weather. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Stuff White People Like.

Not Drowning, Waving: I Know, I Know...
http://rainingagain.blogspot.com/2010/09/i-know-i-know.html
Not Drowning, Waving. Friday, September 24, 2010. I Know, I Know. It's been awhile. In fact, it's been so much of an awhile that I almost forgot my username and password to this blog. It's been a busy September. August was busy, too, but September is flying by so fast I think my eyes have switched sockets. I can't complain. I'm doing work I love - walking dogs, swimming and massaging them too - but I can feel the tiredness seep into my bones of late. I should definitely bring my camera. Stuff White Peopl...
