phoenixSwiftly turning my flat back into a reputable habitation isn't going to happen unless I hit a mood of cleaning frenzy, not something I can summon at need. What I have been able to do, though, is store some thing each time I'm up from under the laptop, or wipe a surface clean when I'm in the kitchen or bathroom. I already see the clean spots.
So it is with DW/LJ, maybe? I'm not going to jump back in and suddenly start posting wonderful heartfelt essays and beautiful photographs, though I'd like to convince myself to believe otherwise. Fuck that, here's a small wipe of a post to get the table clean so I can say things again another time.

syna said the quietness of LJ these days gives her freedom. I get that. That's how DW felt for me right at the start, and tumblr, briefly, way back when I had a fling with it. I need something like that. A quieter DW or an LJ with the bunch of cool people I know from DW. The second isn't going to happen, but I might try reading fewer journals on DW so I feel closer to those of you I particularly like and admire. A little meta and a dark hint of readlist cuts always makes people grow closer, har har.
A few things:
- Maple syrup is magic and better than normal sugar. It's in my tea and my coffee and I need some pancakes now.
- I've felt down lately. Turning off my feelings made things worse. I think I'm on the up again now. I am tired of being silent for those spells.
- I have so many photos from the holiday. SO many. I'm thinking of posting one a day until I get through the good ones. That involves organisation. Projects, why must you insist on requiring organisation?
- I have thoughts on what makes me effective/ineffective as a worker; small things for a *really* big difference. I'm going to post about that, partly for my own reference, partly because I'm curious how other people's good working conditions differ.
- Photobooth photos are fun. Should I post a few of those?
Oh yeah, and the whole reason I started this post: would you like a Christmas card? I say Christmas because that's what I have and what I celebrate, but they're the secular glittery kind (again, like me). Want one? Give me your address! I'm screening comments to this post - comment here or email me at my journal address - phoenix at dreamwidth.org and phoenixdreaming at LJ should both work.
(There's a tiny tiny chance I'll put in something else, but that will require planning and efficiency, two things I"m a tad inadequate at.)
