Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

Four recent LJ entries started and never finished, and the one I manage to get to is this one ... Please excuse typos; I can't seem to type worth #$%^ this week and my keyboard is acting finicky as well -- and I'm too sleepy to do a proper job of proofreading and editing right now.

And how am I doing? Not yet caught up from a nearly sleepless weekend (at one point I'd slept five hours of the previous sixty), feeling more stress than I realize was piling up (last night I thought I was doing okay until I slowed down for a minute and it all caught up to me), with no stamina (when I do et a solid night of sleep, I wake up feeling robust and energetic and ready to tackle my to-do list for a change, but a mere two or three hours later I've used up all my spoons and start crashing again), and with still too much Mom-stuff to deal with to work on the backlog of taking-care-of-myself just yet. Could be worse, really. At some point things will slow down, I hope.

There's other news about my life, but this is the most "now" bit. And I've got some non-news thoughts and ideas to start writing if I ever start thinking them in chunks longer than a hundred and forty characters again -- I've been more active on Twitter lately (@dglenn) than on FB, LJ, DW, etc. (and will take part in the second queerness-and-Faith scheduled Twitter conversation (hashtag #qfaith) instigated by J Mase III this Sunday evening). At some point I need to start copying selected Tweets to here to let folks know what I get up to over there. (Not my whole stream -- there are too many fragmented back-and-forth replies in it to want to put every last drop here.) Before I return to long-form blogging like I've been meaning to (really!), I need to get back to feeling like I have the time and attention span again. In the meantime, I hope I can keep up on Sunday.

(I met J Mase III online (and hope to meet him in person someday) because of his poem "Josephine (What the Bible Says About Transpeople)".)
