Long time no see. I've been busy, and I can't see that improving for the rest of the year. I've got too many projects on the go. New church, although into the second year now so apparently time to step it up, trying to start a new program at work, trying to get government to fund a new building for emergency relief, and study, and continue building relationships with my community. I"ve missed a few deadlines which is either a sign that I'm too busy, or a great procrastinator. Still need to write those articles...
I've started writing morning pages. It's from the book the Artist's Way. Every morning, write three pages about absolutely anything. Just write, "I don't know what to write, this is stupid" for three pages, if that's all you can manage. It's supposed to be about unblocking blocked artists. It certainly helps get a lot of stuff out of my head. But not to write those articles - I guess it takes more that just getting stuff out of your head. It possibly requires sitting down to actually do something.
My tooth is infected and as much as I hate taking antibiotics, I love antibiotics. They work.
I planted a vege garden yesterday. I used compost from my worm farm. This morning I found that every single leaf from my brussel sprout seedlings were gone. In just 18 hours. Maybe it was worms hiding in the compost. I always thought worms were my friends. Maybe I can grow veges inside. Hydroponically. Can you get organic hydroponics.
I've been out in my vege patch everynight picking slugs off my broccoli. And spraying the plants with a vinegar and water mixture to deter the things. Not working either. And I've got onions planted around them, and charcoal around them to deter snails. IT's NOT Working. How do I grow vegetables to feed my family? How does one become self sufficient for vegetables in the middle of winter?
So that's a little update on me. I may have sworn off the internet at some stage a while back (I've got an addictive personality) so updates may be few and far between, but I'm still catching up on your blogs. It's good to hear from you all.
