Thoughtfetti

Started recording Friday at Root Cellar Music Studio.  Good times, well run, productive - we may get this done in time for our first event, after all.
~~~~~
Sprout has been sick - vomiting, diarrhea, fever...poor little thing...she acts chipper and happy, then she'll get listless, vomit, and nap on Mama for a bit in the morning...afternoons, she seems okay except for wanting a little more love and nap time.
~~~~~
Recording again Monday and Tuesday, a marathon for us, but I have hope it will see us finish...and well worth it.
~~~~~
I'll be in Gatlinburg on the sixteenth, guest-recording for Tuatha Dea on their new CD.  I am so excited - I adore them, and was mighty chuffed to be asked!
~~~~~
Despite recording and feeling like I am DOING SOMETHING...I am battling an ugly depression and feel myself losing ground.  Being "Mom" means I can't hide or sleep or just take off and lose myself for a few days, which is a blessing and a curse.  This feeling of futility and constant weariness can go away any time, fine with me.
~~~~~
I'm tired of politics.  I am tired of politicians.  I am tired of people constantly battling it out with cartoons and quips and cooked statistics on Facebook and implying that anyone who doesn't agree with THEM is either evil or stupid.  I am neither (on a good day) and resent the implication.
~~~~~
I will muddle through, somehow, but if I keep crying this much I am going to be dehydrated...
~~~~~
Did I mention I am looking forward to recording with Tuatha Dea?  'Cause I am.  Added to the fun, K2 and Otter will be coming, too, so we'll get to have some time together like we used to get before we all got married or employed and life kinda took over.
~~~~
Someone did a serious clean-up of our bathroom, and now there's no more kitty litter in the tub (falls off their paws when they jump in and up onto the window sill) so I am thinking there's a nice, long soak in my near future.  Sweet!

What're you up to these days?

Baths are good, m'kay? And so're music and Gatlinburg, m'kay? Vomiting and diarrhea? Not so much, m'kay?

You probably already know this, but don't forget that the road through the National Forest (beyond Cherokee, NC) to Gatlinburg is indefinitely closed due to an active landslide. So sad - it's my favorite way to get there and (usually) half the reason to make the trip at all.
