Thought Jumble

When I was driving home last night, the mood was huge. It was low in the sky, and there was practically none of it visible at all. It looked like a little fingernail clipping. But the most fascinating thing was that it was red. Dark red. It was very nearly brown. If only I hadn't been driving. If only it had been higher than the trees. It would have been rewarding to be standing somewhere, looking at it. Is that what is called a Harvest Moon? I thought they were some other color... I've heard the term Blood Moon before, but I'm not sure if it is a description of the moon's color. I will probably look these terms up when I'm done here.

My thinking has been very strange these last few days. I've been thinking of more than one thing at once, and lots of things I've been thinking of are from different times in my life. I would say I've been scatter-brained, but that implies a certain superficiality to the thoughts or processes, and I don't feel that. But I don't feel like I've developed a super power, either, so I am going to take a guess and say that I'll be back to normal in a day or so. In the meantime, I will be pondering...well, everything, probably!

Today, we bought the final supplies for the entertainment center. Josh let me pick a trim, and handles. We spend forever picking stain, and then when we walked over to the stain section, there wasn't any of the kind we picked. Figures. So, he was just going to grab one at random. At that point, I teased Josh about divorce, and we got another stain. My back was very tired and sore for most of this adventure.

We also saw Miss Heather at Target, just before. I saw her daughter for the first time in years, too. I almost left Target with a pair of shorts to replace my favorite ones that have a hole, but when I found out they weren't on sale, I left them. And they have some lovely LONG and super soft scarves that I wanted to take home, too, but I didn't get nearly as far along with them. Heather and Renee went off to look for bathing suits. Not my favorite way to spend time.

Just to throw you off, I am now going to tell you about practice last night. I'm starting to learn the odaiko part for Drive, and we also worked on Omiyage (I did not stress out this time) and Juugo Ya. I will be playing clave on Juugo Ya, and Jaci gave me an awesome cheat-sheet. Yay for me! A certain girl named Julie wasn't there (she's so busy) and we missed her. I wonder if her gentleman ever found a safer place to live. I worry about them, you know.

I am still reading Sherlock Holmes in short bursts. I like him. It must be an easy life when everything is so definite.

Well, in come the children and the husband! And I was going to be so entertaining and clever, too. Well, you'll just have to use your imagination. Happy Friday Evening, and Happy Weekend to you all!

(Dude! I just spell checked this, and I got everything right that is included in the English language. Yay for my current weird brain condition!)
