Home economics

1 hour talk with a sister I didn't see in months. Worth every minute in spades. She's in lust. And I relate to her more quickly than I do my other sisters, in an instant.

Grocery shopping done while tallying my purchases to the cent, on the fly, as a mental game and a way to keep costs under budget. 1 imported beer (1.33$ + taxes) savoured with half of a take-out lunch from work: fried rice with duck and tofu (1.50$, no taxes). Bonus buys on tuna and hummus and chicken breasts. A 66 cent orange juice concentrate too. No one should start knowing this minute cent counting stuff before 35 - it all started to make sense today.

I will get another beer now (1.33$ + taxes), feels right.

I finally received 2 out of 3 DVD's (0$) from the rental place. It took... 4 days to get here. Acceptable. I'm not sure if you want to know what I watch and what I read. 'I'm not there', and 'Kamouraska'.

Kamouraska is a delirious ride into the anxiety ridden kaleidoscope emotions of a woman, as she reveals her mystery. A complex read that I am savouring. I am quite attached to the word. Kamouraska sounds like 'run with me over the rapids to the place of love'. I'm sure that the author agrees (Anne Hébert).

The duck and tofu are hinting that they disagree now. Or maybe it's the prescription I swallowed too late in the day and downed with a sip of beer.

House is clean. Work is behind me. Time is ahead. I rarely am so still.

On my plate is writing: I have 15 minutes freestyle in the morning, 1 or 2 workshop exercises in the evening; On my plate is my career, ready to shift again in time. My body is nowhere to be seen, though I'm keeping it healthy.
