still here, still working

oh man, it's been a while.

but i've still been working on my "creative recovery" - have i ever - to great success.

being Art Coordinator on an indie feature film's got me busy right now. it's a good time, the people are great and i enjoy most aspects of my job.

we'll be vending at Trans Health and opening our P&D etsy shop shortly after!

other things in the works:

- glazing the downstairs apartment walls
- staining/hanging our screen door (to keep stray cats out and our cat in)
- shortening/hanging bedroom curtains
- fashioning some sort of diy movie screen with Sara Zia
- Twittering my heart out
- entering 'Seeking Strumpet' in festivals (it won Best Animation at Diamond Fest this year)
- making new friends
- seeing old friends
- growing things! namely: larkspur, gladiolas, sunflowers, and a wildflower assortment (snapdragons didn't work out again this year)
- watching birds enjoy our birdfeeder (including cardinals! who knew Nicetown had cardinals?)
- working on my short doc about Nicetown


and spending time with the girl and the pets, of course. we spent three weeks on a "staycation" in Wayne at her parents house.

Good Stuff Coming Up This Week

*exciting secret help meetings (where I get help in areas I need it)
*at least one trip to the gym or pool
*acupuncture
*trans group
*creative meeting of who-knows-what with Bapa
*satisfying painting projects
*possible laundry doing (fun when it's in your own house!!! Did I mention we bought a
portable washer?! SO EXCITING. We named it Astrid.)

And next week...GIA COMES BACK!!! I have missed my little dog soooo much. But I know my parents have been taking great care of her in Seattle, and I'm really happy that she loves the backyard and walks with my dad. My mom even said she'd keep her if it weren't for her fur! They've fallen for my little nutty pup.

NOT ONLY THAT, but she's coming with Sue! Sue will be staying with us for about five days, which is cool and I'm sure there will be all kinds of adventures and craftiness and fun.
