Once a week, maybe more if something big is happening. And yet, I feel that I&#8217;m really trying to avoid BIG things to the extent that I can. Last night it snowed. This morning I was out on the porch getting birdseed and noticed the snowflakes were big, and all their little points were visible. Neat! Grab the camera!<\/p>\n<p>I also haven&#8217;t done the booklist update yet, I&#8217;m still in a bit of denial about the precipitous <a href=\"http:\/\/jessamyn.info\/booklist\/date\/2008\">decline of my book reading<\/a> last year. The swim update got eaten by the hard drive crash, but I&#8217;m swimming more at a maintenance level than a &#8220;get across the lake&#8221; level and that&#8217;s okay by me.

I have complicated matters by signing up to teach an in-service day in Vermont on MLK Day which is not a good start to what I&#8217;m hoping will be a <em>less-complicated<\/em> 2009. Then I have a weekend off. Then I go to Toronto where my MeFi couch surf got disrupted by my friend&#8217;s landlord selling his place. Know anyone with a comfy guestroom in Toronto? This is a money-solveable problem, so I&#8217;m not in a jam, but it would be nice to stay with humans not with hospitality corporations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jessamyn.com\/journal\/2009\/01\/the-secret-is-not-to-breathe\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Permalink to the secret is not to breathe\"><p>One of my pseudo-resolutions was not really to update this any more than I generally do.
