She said, guessing on at least that last one. I wonder if writing some of this out longhand at all would help me practice at least my kanji. Thinking about it, it probably would. I have such bad handwriting in Japanese. The only thing worse is my Russian.

I'm tired. I'm cranky, and I'm brain dead, and I'm tired, and I don't want to do customer service emails. Or go home and have to cook. I want to sit and write, edit, or spin. That's it. Sadly, I don't get to do any of those, I have to do customer service emails. And I want my spinning wheel and the stupid post office hasn't coughed it up yet. And I'm grumpy. Did I mention the grumpy? Editing isn't going anywhere near fast enough (although it has been productive) and I should edit the novel that I'm actually doing for the Big Bang tonight but I'm scared of that and don't want to do it either. MOO. I dig my heels in in protest and stomp my feet.

On the plus side, the wildlife seems to have stopped invading my personal space. On the double plus side, I've just been told I need to learn to weave on the ginormous floor loom so that I can take over that part of the family business. First, though, I need to get my driving license. Which will probably be worked towards this weekend as I look for driving courses in the area that fit. Either that or I find none, then browbeat the boy into taking me out driving places once I get my learner's permit. Again. I have glasses already if I need them, so. Oogh. That was probably the kick in the pants I needed, but I should also be mindful that I don't need to drive immediately. Just. Get started and stop being afraid of it. God, I am so afraid of cars and driving on roads here. Especially where people don't know how to fucking merge.

Oogh. Right, I have really very little time left here at work, so I'm going to go do work things for the last bit of it. And then go home and be surly there. Yay surly! Meh.

Adopt one today! Adopt one today! Adopt one today! Adopt one today!
kittydesade: (flaily kermit is flaily!)
I love my farm house
I love my fairy field
I love the old barn
I love the garden's yield
I love the orchard
And my old willow tree
Boom-di-ya-da boom-di-ya-da boom-di-ya-da boom-di-yay


Ahem.

Guess who went out to the farm today? Go on, guess. I'll wait.

Parts of it are just as I remember it. The barn is just as I remember it in particular, only with less cow smell 'cause of the whole no cows thing. The road up is not as I remember. Most of the lots have changed hands, sort of, being as they've been passed down or sold within the extended family that used to own them. The house that used to belong to L is gone now, completely gone. She used to have a sort of a house on stilts/two-story house, with most of the living going on on the top place. And if I remember right her husband made squirrel stew. And they had a barn towards the front with various state license plates hung on it, and hubcaps and things. They also had, or at least I think it was theirs, an old bus that was up the road a bit and tucked away that had been almost completely grown in and over with weeds. I always wanted to explore there, but it wasn't all that safe for a seven-eight-nine-whatever year old and I never remembered to badger anyone into it. I called it the haunted bus, which may also explain my reluctance to go alone.

The orchard is about as I remember, though less tended since people aren't there as often. The old fir tree? Is now HUGE. Really, really huge. Which prompted my aunt to reminisce about how she'd brought the one that's next to the house down from up the mountain a ways and it was about four feet tall. That one's always been huge in my memory.

And then I rambled some more )

NO. YOU DO NOT GET TO BUILD A FUCKING RESORT ON MY MOUNTAIN. FUCK OFF.
