No time to be depressed, i make a long to-do list instead

Victories yesterday, mi chickies and roos! Yes, i am finally able to use my laptop on my lap. Yeah! i got my router problem solved. And, my desk cleaned up in the process. Something in my house is clean.... oyee.

i hosted Christmas for my family this year and sacrificed my personal Solstice rituals to get it done. Perhaps the end of my router issues is my instant karma (thank you John Lennon). my brother will be moving out in another week and i can't wait. i love my brother, don't get me wrong, but i am going to love having my house back.

Oh, there are so many things i want to do. i want to plan my garden and set up a calendar and to-do list. i want to re-organize my art and craft paraphernalia. i want to work on a fabric art piece. i want to brood two more chicks this spring and i want to do my family genealogy. Oh, and i want to read a book, and write down some of the stories i have in my head.

Per usual, i too long of a to-do list.

And, if it's not too much to ask, i want a small farm so i can have an even bigger garden and the need for an even longer to-do list.

Where am i going with all this? i don't have a clue, mi amigos. i am just very chatty this very nice Sunday morning.

i'm off to do some chores and will be back. Love to all, cynthia

Lincoln and i went to a nearby nature park. Here are is one of the videos we took.

Damn plane. Lincoln thinks this video is funny because i trip and i say "damn plane".

Happy, happy mi amigos! Love and hugs.

Cold December morning queue and squirrels at my door

Just want to add pictures of the creatures that live in my world. i am so grateful!

Check out these catz! Thank you Armen.

Two months is too long

It has been two months since i have posted here. Shame on me. There is a lot going on and i don't want to bore you, my one and only follower, but i feel the need to explain.

my brother sold his house and has not found a new one yet. Knowing he needed to stay with me for awhile, i had to clean out my spare room. It had turned into a store room of sorts so now my livingroom is a store room of sorts.... Oy.

i am having computer issues as well. my wireless connection is not working right so i am tethered to a cord.

i started a Facebook account and WOW, all my Warrior of Light friends found me almost immediately. i love them all so much and thought i had lost my connection to them. That's us in the picture above on our last day. i really want to talk about them but will another day.

Special thoughts for my warrior sister Ana Rosa, she has lost her son and i ache for her. i don't know what happened but it doesn't really matter, does it? Thanks to Facebook i can be in touch with mi amigos.

So, you're thinking to yourself, "I waited two months for this?"

my girls (the chickens) are moulting so they look kinda funny. i'll get pictures.

And i promise to write here again soon.

Check out what the rain is doing to my mammoths! EEE! Hold on tight, you're not ready to harvest yet.

i created a facebook page... OMGoddess!

i usually pick cucumbers and raspberries on Saturday but it is raining today so i am spending alot of time on the interwebs.

i joined Facebook, finally. i put it off for a long time because i like my anonymity but finding my old Warriors of Light amigos has made it all worth while.

The whole healthcare debate has me very worked up but i am calmer today because i joined Facebook and immediately found mi amigos de La Guerreros de la Luz. We all met in Mexico City in November of 2001. They are my spiritual brothers and sisters and they live all over Central and South America.

Speaking of Central and South America, i need to add a quick explanation here about why i am careful about the use of the descriptive Americans when i speak about my countrymen (and women). There are Americans from northernmost Canada to the southernmost point in Argentina. So, you can see why i try to be careful about that. i have many American friends who are not from the USA.

i emailed President Obama yesterday. i tried to make a reasoned argument for Medicare For All. i am very discouraged about healthcare reform. It just seems like my countrymen are so selfish, greedy and narcissistic. But on second thought, i think it is only my country's politicians. The polls show the people want single-payer or at least a strong public option. It is all very disheartening.

Got Hope?

President Obama is really in a pickle. He brought it on himself because he wants the cooperation of the right. So much so, that he thinks progressives like myself will go along. Rahm Emanual even wants us to shut-up.

You shut-up!

Anyway, President Obama has quite a dilemma. If he pushes for a public option he will get the House but not the Senate and if he drops the public option, he loses the House and may get the Senate (i think the Senate is a club and not a legislative body).

He can't win for losing.

But, like i said, he brought it on himself and i fear his presidency is doomed. i want to support my president but he does not want to support me and mine. Wednesday night he will speak to the nation and then i will know if he wants us to continue to be a nation of 'me' or if we will start down the road of the nation of 'we'.

Time to get some chores done so i will see you later.

Love and hugs, chickies and roos.
