A journey rich with music

Today I DANCED.

I put on this song, cranked it up, and I just let loose. Completely. Hair flying, hips shaking, who-gives-a-fuck-who's-watching, absolute lunacy.

I wasn't trying to exorcise pain or depression. I thought that's what I was feeling, but it's not either of those things.

I'm trying to rid myself of apathy. Emptiness. Holding pattern blahhh.

I feel like -- if I just keep doing this, keep singing and dancing about, taking in the music, and remember to hold onto what it does for me --

I might, just might, be able to get my joy back.

Then the sky opens up and everything feels possible.

:D

There's really nothing like music.

Nearly all the electrical work is finally done and we've got our fingers crossed that the electrical inspector comes tomorrow. If so, we can go ahead and move in; otherwise, with the holiday, we may have to wait until Tuesday. :-( Noooooo!

Con's birthday is Saturday and since he's very interested in birds (just like his mom), we're going to the Cascades Raptor Center, which has over 60 birds of prey.

I can see, with all the activity around here, where being out in the cottage will be a good (and probably necessary) thing in order to have some quiet time for writing. But we're all having a good time together here. :-)
