LOL...Damn, xanga is taking longer & longer for me to do...catching up with everybody, writing replies, creating my own posts. Damn it, why do I have to work? Why can't I just sit in front of my computer & xanga all day? LOL

Not much going on here. Never heard back from the guy about the ASPCA job. Whatever. Can't worry about things that are not within my control. MRI got rescheduled to Wednesday...Long story short....have to do it with the orthopedist who saw me in the first place. It's all about getting Workman's Comp to pay for it. I can wait 2 more days, that's fine. It's still getting done, that's all I care about.
Shannon keeps trying to call me & I miss her calls. She's not leaving voice mails, and wherever she's calling from comes up as Unknown # or ID withheld. Hopefully she'll try one more time tonight. I would like to speak to her. She's not going to Florida pride now. I feel badly for her. She was going to spend some time back home & go to one of the biggest pride fests in the country. Now, home will have to wait for another month or 2. That sucks for her. In a way, though, I'm kinda glad. In a VERY greedy way, it's good for me. I can see her again sooner. Perhaps my hand surgery will coincide with that time, and we'll both have some off & maybe we can spend some REAL time together rather than rushing due to the long trip. Only time will tell with that. Got an e-mail from another girl on curve. She sounds fascinating. Based on what she wrote, I could just sit & listen to her stories for hours (she's an anthropologist & archeologist. I LOVE that stuff!). She would be a cool friend to have. Same with Shannon, of course. Even if nothing happens with her, I've still gained a good friend. Can't beat that!
You know, I've been thinking a lot. I've started coming out more at work. Not necessarily a great idea since a few of my co-workers are VERY close-mided. But you know, being bi-sexual is not about being trendy. It truly looks beyond all barriers (race, religion, gender, etc.). It is so open & accepting. I am proud that I have come to accept this part of me & I'm proud that I am. I am proud of the fact that I so strongly believe in equality that it even plays into my love life. I really feel like so much a better person for it. For not letting racism or sexism or any kind of prejudice get in my way. I really do love all kinds of people, and to me, it is an honor to be that way.
Akh is sitting on this window perch thing I bought her a while ago. Not an hour ago, I put her on & she jumped off because she was scared. Now she's all sprawled out, her little silhouette against the darkening summer sky. It's a great view from here
With that image, I bid you all a good night. I hope you are all well. Take care. Much love & many blessings to each of you!

hi Lauren! good luck to you coming out at work. sheesh, closed minded people are so hard to deal with sometimes! hopefully none of them will preach at you!
re: tarot. a few months ago after having a reading I got interested in learning it, so I've bought a bunch of decks and tons of books. I'm also active on the Aeclectic Tarot forums, where I've learned a lot. Everyone keeps telling me one of the best ways to learn is to do readings, which is a bit nerve wracking since mainly I've done them for friends and for myself.
all the best!
