pekoe and i have been competing for the best seat in the house. this weekend i took some time to re-arrange furniture and move some things to the basement. i'm really pleased, the living room is much more spacious. i've been telling brendan that we don't need so much seating, but he didn't want to get rid of one of the blue chairs. so i moved one of them down into the foyer and turned it into a sun room. it's so lovely. the kitties sit out there in the sun and when it's my turn i like sitting listening to the wind in the trees. it's just a small difference, but one that really opens up our space. i like that it's always evolving and changing with us. it's funny because technically our place is very small - i regularly hear people complain about their small homes that are larger than ours (especially since we only live in 560 square feet) - but when it's tidy there's loads of space. often when i get up in the night to pee or for a drink of water, i catch a glimpse of our space in the moonlight and am struck once again by how charming it is.

emma submitted my new job profile for re-grading today. i don't know how long this process will take. i'm quite eager to know the outcome since i'm long overdue for a re-assessment. i hope i get at least 2 grades to compensate for forgetting to ask for a promotion in 2009. i don't want to get my hopes up though.

my running is going well. i'm now up to running for 3 minutes and walking for 4. yesterday was my first time. it was ok, even though my body felt heavy and slow. i can feel that my legs are getting stronger and firmer, even though the rest of me seems fairly unchanged. except i felt good when i woke up this morning, slightly more streamline.

i have to admit, leonard cohen is not the best singer. at times his voice strains like someone singing in the shower. but he's quite the poet though.

 

you were famous,

your heart was a legend.
