Eclipse, PT and Work
Feb. 21st, 2008 10:25 amBeautiful night last night! We viewed the eclipse of course, but also some of the rest of the night sky. Too hard to go out into the field but we can see some things from near the house. Although there were some clouds going by, still I enjoyed seeing Orion, the Dippers, Casseopeia, and others. The maples nearby were star-diademed with a startling intensity. Up here, seeing the band of the Milky Way is commonplace... I find I do not miss the city at all.

prince_hring took photos over the entire period of the eclipse and then merged them so that you can see the overlapping images. They're really something, you should go see them! He's quite good with the telescope and camera, among many other talents.

PT visits are down to once a week now. Still a long ways to go, but getting there. I moved a lot of stuff yesterday, and will move some more today. My limits are duration, amount of weight, and speed. That last means that moving the arm suddenly is a Bad Idea. Also jolting it is a bad idea... no, don't ask how I know...

Work. I don't have a regular job, and don't expect I'll be getting one any time soon. I do part-time stuff like bookkeeping once a month for my mother-in-law, and I just got in some typing work on my mom's book that I'll have to take a poke at later today. I may do some massage again, part-time, in a few months (right now I might be able to work on one person, as long as it's mostly Swedish). If I get the book contract, I'll be doing some illustration of cards this year. I make things, and sometimes they get sold. I do the bookkeeping, and we have discussions on what purchases to make now, and what can/should wait.
I could be a career person, or run my own serious business, but I don't think that's what I'm supposed to be doing. I'm very lucky, I havefitzw, who has a great job, so I have a lot of freedom. This is good, since eventually we both want to be doing something different. And that's my real job -- gathering info, figuring things out that will fit into the big picture, etc.
I think my only "problem" is trying to explain to people what I do, when they ask if I work and what my job is... I don't think there's a name for it. Oh well, their problem I guess. I don't really have a lot of time to think about this sort of thing, because I have work to do.
Have a great day, everyone!
