hiatus
i've been off a while, trying to get my head & life & house together. there's a lot of getting-together to be done, & it doesn't help that i'm in the center of a technological rebellion & everything i own with working parts has stopped working, in fractions or in whole...
laptop's screen is shattered (i'm half on a friend's monitor just to post this), all CD players in the house are hosed, all 3 cassette decks are dead, the microwave has no visible display, the toaster oven works as an oven but not as a toaster, my bookshelves have been mysteriously dropping shelves & thus dropping books somewhat at random, & a large piece of plastic plus several potentially important bolts fell off my new-old car two days ago (plus it makes some weird-ass rattling noises); as it's a holiday weekend i can't even go about getting the things i can afford to repair repaired, so there's a lot of hobbling happening.
i'll be back with the program eventually, i promise. but i'm not creating any imaginary due-dates to aim at & miss. moving & becoming un-married are stealthily time-consuming; you think you've got a handle on any one part of them & another slips. so i'm spending a while juggling slippage, & reading fiction, & rearranging the furniture trying to decide what i want my space to look like--and rearranging finances to figure out what it's possible to fix!
the house is kinda broken too--leaky faucets, seriously troubled washer-dryer, a bathroom door that just yesterday quit latching closed, but thank god sometimes for being just a grad student in a rental; those are somebody else's fish to fry.
