it's november 10th! i have emerged into the light at the end of a month long tunnel! and i appear to be reasonably intact.
it was a busy busy weekend preparing and executing the arts group gala. it really went off without a hitch, the music, food, drinks, and entertainment were all great.
so, in that regard...success.
i would also call it a success in terms of the raising of public awareness and the quiality of exposure. the people who attended had a good time, and i feel like they should be inpressed at the party we threw.
kink highlight: sneaking to the second floor stairwell for a little slap and tickle with j. we are so naughty!
the down side of the evening was in that we did not get enough people there to make money. while i am happy the event was beautiful in many ways, i am taking it pretty hard that we did not raise money. it is my job to make money for the organization, and this event did not succeed in doing that. sigh. i am trying to look on the bright side, but can't find one at the moment.
anyway, i am relieved that the bulk of the work is over, and that i have remained mostly sane for the last 3 weeks. j. has been wonderfully supportive, and has been going through some growing of his own lately. we are in a good place, and i am proud of us.
at the moment i am so tired i am really having trouble focusing on much. i had a terrific headache last night, which seems to have passed, but i am just a little shaky and literally have trouble standing up for more than a few minutes. the relative quiet that will be december is much needed and anticipated.
plus j and i got invited to the annual thanksgiving party that my friends dana and marlyse throw every year. it is always wonderful, and reminds me of how lucky i am to have the chosen family that i do.

it warms my fucking heart to here you refer to your friends as a chosen family. it's so much better than when you had the best friend crisis. and perhaps, through hindsight, you can now see that you have too many real ones to have to choose one that is 'best'.
i need to feed my sarcastic appetite elsewhere.
thanks for being real.
