better yet
nothing makes you appreciate the simplicity of being healthy like lying in bed for two days staring at patterns in the ceiling feverishly and not being able to taste food and not being able to comprehend simple romantic comedies because of your fever.
i got better, thankfully, and then kate got the same sickness, so we've just been chilling, being sick.
i felt a lot better today and took a short walk around the house... everytime i take a walk i appreciate where i live SO much, its a kind of paradise. the rain in the redwoods is one of my favorite settings in general, the fogs kind of hang in a misty wonderland, and now that the creek right by our house finally has water, we are surrounded by the sounds of water. its very new age. the creek runs steep down the canyon below us, and there are little pools and waterfalls everywhere. i hiked around our canyon to the next canyon on 15 year old logging roads all overgrown, and found another beautiful little creek, and then came upon a really amazing meadow, all misty and full of mushrooms everywhere. i can't explain how happy the walk made me, to come back to the cabin as it was getting dark and looking up at our christmas lights glowing so solitary in the middle of the woods, the middle of nowhere. we are very much perched on a steep steep larger canyon, which leads to Big River (thats its name), which, i mean, conservative guess is at least a mile down, and we are only like, 1/4 mile from it, so in other words, steep.
so that's good. and its good to be in the cabin all toasty right now, both of us feeling better.
i'm not working much lately, which freaks me out on some level because it means i'm broke and soon to be broker, but on another level this has been a good break for me. its a good time to re evaluate what i'm doing for a living. sometimes tough pinches make you decide to make big changes. which i need to do.
so i'd hope to land a better job, or even go back into the freelancing world of design and cello lessons... which can be very gratifying, if unsteady. but a job... i mean, what jobs are there really that i would be into? it seems like everyone around me manages to at least find a decent job at some point... hopefully the same will happen for me, i mean, i'll do the work and all to get it, but i hope to at least be able to find and see a reasonably stimulating job in this area. that would be... the second to ideal. the ideal, of course would be able to make music, compose and tour. and i need to get my act together in terms of that... i've been putting off touring, even a small regional tour here and there, for no good reason except lack of time to put it all together. and so that is what i intend to do with this winter time off...
wish me luck. i might need some come rent time and all that... not that i believe in luck but still...
