today....let's talk about leechdom and galdur....because...I'm stuck in a hotel room with a sick little girl...and a little boy who is bouncing off the walls...on beds...chairs...you name it...
so....to the people who are directly beneath us in the hotel... I am sorry. :) about the miniature horse herd stomping above your head.
and because you can only watch so many movies in a day....
I need some galdur....
stay with me...this is going to be a meandering stream of thoughts today....
I am planning things only 20 minutes ahead today....thinking about what I will need in 20 minutes...from now...
what she will need...what he will need....it's all just 20 minutes from now...
and LEGO! oh right, LEGO..... I picked up a couple of lego sets for the little guy to keep him occupied in this state of pause....
because, if you know me...you know...I'm basically...step, 1 and 2...step 3 is all about prep-work, which is not my thing...or my strength....remember...I can't wrap gifts...well I can- but they are more....free-style. measuring the paper to fit the gift= prep work....blech.
and so anyway..,
galdur.....it's Icelandic for, magic....I could use some magic right now...and speaking of Icelandic....at a linguistics party one year....someone made a geeky linguistics joke..and the punchline was something...'except for Icelandic'.....or something...because- apparently....Icelandic is always the exception...of course....that's just the joke...I'm sure Icelandic is completely awesomely regular just like any language.
so...yes....if anyone can magically make Zoey feel better.... it would be completely awesome...
and so...my leechdom consists of loving motherly care....lots of fluids...and anticipating needs...
20 minutes from now...continually re-assessing...and navigating the day....gently.
oh...and coffee....for me....with lots of cream.
what do you do when you're stuck in a hotel room? well, I paint...
oh...and experiment with hair color as well.... yeah....I picked up some really bright pink...wish me luck....
oh, and I listen to songs like....this one by Simple Minds, which makes me want to have a John Hughes marathon.....and talk about the summer I spent with my friend Greta, in Evanston, IL.
hey, hey, hey, hey!
oooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Won't you come see about me?
I'll be alone...dancing you know it baby...
Tell me your troubles and doubts,
giving me everything inside and out..
love's strange, so real in the dark
think of the tender things that we were working on
slow change may pull us apart
when the light gets into your heart, baby
Don't you...forget about me...
don't don't dont' dont'....don't you forget about me...
will you stand above me?
look my way, never love me...
rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling....
down...down...down....down...
Don't you, try to pretend
It's my feeling, we'll win in the end
I won't...harm you or touch your defenses,
vanity....and security...
going to take you apart,
I'll put us back together at heart, baby...
peace....love...and being resourceful..... :) my Dad says I'm resourceful.
