so much to say....

grab a cup of tea, i'm back!!

yippee! i'm back online and although it's only a 3Mbit broadband connection on the ancient wires coming into this house (10 was what they ordered), still, it's a connection. and i have so much to say that i don't really know where to begin!

~ do i write something deep about how it feels to be beginning so many things anew - job, home, horse - at this stage of my life, when i'm supposed to be settled in and enjoying things as they are?

~ do i try to be funny about my weird manifestations of OCD in the midst of the chaos of boxes (how dare husband just put the silverware in the dishwasher randomly and not keep knives with knives and forks with forks)?

sabin and matilde the wonder horse

~ do i offer peaceful, zen-like thoughts about how good it is for your soul to spend time with a horse (thereby excusing myself for the excessive amount of horse pictures i've contributed to the BC365 pool of late)?

~ do i bubble over with joy over how friendly and kind people here are - people like our neighbors, who are letting us board matilde in their wonderful stable? or sabin's new teacher, who has handled her transition in the kindest, best possible way?

~ do i tell you about how the cat is so traumatized by her first experience outside here (we don't know what happened, but she was out all night) that she refuses to poke more than a whisker outside the door now a week later?

sigh...another windmill...this one near Aalborg

~ do i go on and on about how i want to live in a windmill (and yet there's no windmill in sight on our property)?

~ do i wax philosophical on how sad it made me to go over and clean at the old house, which is empty and echo-y and filled with things like quality oak flooring and smeg stoves and refrigerators that i am sorely missing in this house?

~ do i attempt to express how much i've missed all of you and what you have to say and apologize for how long it's going to take me to catch up (if that's even possible)?

~ or do i just make a list of stuff to get how overwhelmed and bottled up i feel after being ostensibly offline for two weeks out of my system and hope that something good comes out tomorrow....
