Changes

A lot is going on this fall for me. My favorite person is moving to the other side of the world to teach at university, and the logistics involved have become so complicated she won't be able to visit us before she makes that leap. I'm beginning work on the fifth and final installment of my work project, and then I'll have to start thinking about what to next pitch. My guy is expanding and planting the veggie garden, which now includes corn. I have to find a new primary care doctor as my previous one abruptly left her practice.

I had an instance of online professional identity theft to deal with recently as well. Without getting into details -- they're rather nauseating -- it seemed like the thief was trying to lure me into a litigation trap by accusing me of stealing their identity (never a good idea to do to someone who has worked under that identity for very large, powerful corporations, and maintained that identity online for a very long time.) Anyway, I corrected the situation behind the scenes with the web site host without falling for the bait. Unless the thief wants to tangle with those corporate lawyers, it should be resolved. This time.

I like routine rather than times of change, and I never care to deal with thieves, but this is life. So far all the changes I've made or welcomed over the last year or so have been mostly positive. Big or small, I'll try to look forward to the new shifts in my life.

Wishing

I submitted book one of my NA series for professional review and consideration, and in return I was praised for the work and provided with excellent feedback. Now I have some changes to contemplate, and decisions to make about the future. I have a couple of different directions to take, which makes the deciding part a challenge. At times like these I wish I had a crystal ball so I could see the outcome of every choice. Wouldn't life be easier if we could do that? Image by Matthias Böckel from Pixabay

Downtown Discovery

My guy and I are taking time each week to walk around the downtown areas of places we've never had time before to visit, which is how I came across a lovely fiber art supplies shop wth amazing handspun art yarns and hand-dyed embroidery threads from local artists. Fine silk embroidery thread is literally impossible to find in my part of the country, but not anymore. I also loved the amazing selection of hand-dyed flosses. I even found some tiny seed beads for my current project, and a gift for a quilter friend. While I try to thrift as much as I can for my art quilting and embroidery these days, I love the chance to support our my local weavers and dexters.

Another World

Since I'm watching more Japanese dramas these days I'm able to find more hidden gems, like the drama Silent . This is a subtle, emotional romance series, and authentically portrays what it's like to deal with a major disability while trying to get on with life and fall in love. Here's the story: in high school Sou Sakura (Meguro Ren) and Tsumugi Aoba (Haruna Kawaguchi) are a young couple. They have the same quirky sense of humor, love music, and really enjoy being with each other. The fact that they're the most attractive couple in school is obvious, but the innocent and fun nature of their relationship is what makes it so perfect. They just like talking with each other. Then, quite suddenly, Sou dumps Tsumugi (by text, no less, making him a giant ass) and vanishes. Years later Tsumugi is now in a relationship with another guy, with whom she's happy, and is looking for a place where they can live together. By accident she runs into Sou, and discovers ...
