There is a hole where my brain was scooped out.

What is in my brain? The sound of tweetie birds or a pony humming. A lint. The words to the “Thundercats” theme. That’s about it.

I’m just kind of working and summering here, which makes me feel lobotomized in a really good way. I have been working from home for about a year now. Let me tell you how stressful my life is right now: I had a YOGA anxiety dream. I was missing my knee padding. OH NO! Then I remembered: I was at yoga and I could just get up and get some.

I also feel like I’m missing my camera, which is broken. A new one is coming next week, but in summer I think I rely on it a lot to sort of show what I’m up to and what there is to see. Strudel is checking out 50 books from the library at a time and Franny is deep into the chronicles of Mr. Hairy Pooper.

I am spending my spare time listening to George R.R. Martin on audiobook, falling asleep upside down on my bed. I could just transfer it to my MP3 player and lay in bed properly, but this way I am tethered to my PC via headphone cord and it is stupid. I should be writing but I am just empty right now. I think I am still a bit blissed out since I can think again.

The tomato plants are LARGE and blooming. Pics next week.

  1. YAY finally. I am glad you are just thinking and working your groove. AND your girls are reading their asses off! I love that! I have missed you this week.

  2. Right before I read your post I was sitting here staring at Twitter thinking…I have NOTHING to say. Even to TWITTER.

    Your post sums up my brain feelings. Thanks for making me feel NOT ALONE.

    p.s. I love that you said “A lint”.

  3. My tomatoes are doing really well too…surprised the heck out of me as everyone who gardens told me they’re pretty elusive in this part of the country. Fingers crossed they actually ripen…we’ll see.

  4. Last couple of years have been CRAP, but I have faith and wall of waters this year.

  5. George R.R. Martin either rules or is sucking the life and afterlife outta lit–I canna decide. I also canna stop reading.

  6. Yeah, I’m struggling with it. I’m listening to the audiobooks read by Roy Dotrice. A++ for him. The constant misogyny is kind of wearing me out, I have to admit. I am in Clash of Kings and the King’s Landing trebuchets are named “The Three Whores” and I am like REALLY, sigh. Women seem to be mothers (Catlyn), whores, or aberrant freaks who either have to hide their true nature (Arya and her “dancing lessons,” Arya disguised as a boy, etc.). Or they do not hide their true natures like Renly’s loyal lady-knight who is constantly presented as ugly, gawky, dykey, weird, whatever. If they are just ordinary ladies and they are mentioned for more than a paragraph then they will probably be raped. Cersei is a mother figure but she’s also a cardboard Disney villainess. If there is a potentially interesting female character, then they are set up as a foil for a male character (Asha Greyjoy). I get that he’s created a brutal medieval style universe, but it’s tiring me out. I will see how much further I can make it…
