I'm loving my new job, I average 1-3 hours per day at it.  My first (half-)quarter profits were microscopic, but I hadn't had the job long enough for anything I had worked on to sell.  The rest of the staff loves me.

I also started a new job, one day per week (Monday) repairing bicycles that were donated to Habitat for Humanity.

My foot still hasn't healed right from surgery last Autumn, and wish it would hurry up.  Any time I leave the house, I have a minimum of a mile to walk (usually 2 or 3) before I get home, at which time I am utterly exhausted and in a fair bit of pain.

I organized (if that's the right word) a MadPride Day last Saturday, an event calling publicly for human (civil) rights in mental health care.  Still too much forced drugging going on, along with bad or incomplete information on the effects of the drugs, no information at all on alternatives, and some doctor always popping his head up to say how humane and healthful frying your brain with electricity is.  We were right next to a Wiccan group protesting the County's sale of a slip of land to a developer, which would cause the developer to cut down a magnolia tree that is over 100 years old.  We're pretty sure we can get the land sale reversed -- it was just plain illegal, and the County was just hoping nobody would notice until it was too late.

Litha at Splendor Hollow was wonderful, I came home glowing ( and no, that was not because of any sex, which did not happen, LOL ).  Starting to plan for Harvest now.

I probably haven't mentioned a whole lot of things, but then I don't post here often.  I had a very moving moment last night, which I should have posted here but instead posted on my Xanga blog (http://www.xanga.com/mordewis ).

Guess I'll quit rambling for now.  Got my Asheville Homeless Network meeting to prepare for (tomorrow).

Hugs,

Me
