twirlgrrlI always feel that I can't take the time to do the things I really want to do because I have "too much to do" of the more practical sort. For example, tonight I would really love to craft a long, thoughtful post. But I just don't feel like I can.
I've spent the last hour or so rereading parts of Karen's journal and getting inspired. Unfortunately, I cannot afford the time to indulge my inspiration. Nor can I finish rereading Karen's journal tonight. I am only awake because I am supposed to be finishing up a couple of work-related things, then I'm supposed to go to sleep so I can get up and go to work out of town tomorrow.
But *you* can read Karen's journal. Start at the beginning. I promise you it is one of the most amazing, moving, enlightening things you will ever read.
I wish I had met her sooner, been able to develop more of a friendship instead of being afraid to take up her valuable time. I feel a deep affinity for her, because we had a lot in common. In the old entries I just read, for instance, she wrote about spelling bees and Roxy Music. Her husband Blake is also an 80's synth-pop freak, yay!
On a completely unrelated note, the data on my hard drive was completely recovered and I am just waiting for my new computer to arrive so I can transfer everything and get going again. It will take me a day or two to get everything settled, but I am SO excited that this seems to have worked out. Even if it cost me a whole bunch of money. From now on, I'm setting up a redundant backup on my external drive.
Back to the "important" work stuff I'm supposed to be doing...
