Today is also...

Cup o' organic Hot & Sour soup from Big Lots, green tea, basket-making homework, poem writing, fuzzy socks, and my first Kentuckians for the Commonwealth meeting this evening.

And now...some sunlight in the window.

I've been spending too much time in the cyber-world recently, surfing around when I should be doing other things, and so, I'm chronicling these "real world" things here. Bridging the two worlds. Using the screen to remind myself there are great things outside the screen. Directed computer use: more writing about the world around me, less random / pointless surfing.

Two different things have happened since we got wireless cable internet, one good, one disappointing. 1) I've gotten more active in my community--in some ways--because I'm able to check in on and keep up with meeting times. I'm listening to debates, going to meetings, etc. Seeing new places. But... 2) I'm reading much, much less out of physical books, and I miss that. But, it's not quite so easy to give up on checking out blogs and news sites, because, for me, it's addicting.

So. Well. I'm trying to find the balance.
