Mixed reactions

[jay]

Today usually provokes a mixed response... I'm happy to see the expressions of pride and community and love and the free expression of these. While at the same time, at a personal level reminding me that I'm marginal, an outsider. Too mundane to be at a Pride parade, too weird to be welcomed enthusiastically in parent groups or at church... not fitting well anywhere, really.

I hope that my many participating friends have a beautiful day marching or watching, as well as those up at the Loving More conference at Harbin. For me, I'll be at home working on rewiring electrical circuits and fixtures...

And... hugs are much appreciated, thanks. Sundays haven't been good to me lately.

Sundays

yeah, you mentioned that in a post about weekends.

I've not had the best Sundays lately, myself. Some of that is that I'm not as fond of lay-led services or large-and-later services (being a former professional and having high standards and all, not to mention UU who likes the early services), so Sunday doesn't manage to start out properly like Sunday, and that can lead to grumpiness.

And today, as previously noted, I am at work. Earning lots and lots of OT. And hoping not to fuck up my back too much.

What is your work, that could harm your back, but hasn't much going on yet still needs O/T on the weekends?

I'm also curious as to your previous experience there... were you a UU minister (or equivalent)?

Well, even if I'm not doing work, I *am* sitting at the computer, and staying put in one position for extended periods of time. As you may have noticed, a spent a lot of the weekend online.
