safe and sound at home!

cheerful

current mood: cheerful

Drive to airport with my mother was great - we end up talking a lot in the car, and its good for us both.

Flight was not bad, tho there were small children pushing my seat the whole time - one drawback of the Virgin flights is that many of the onboard Red items can be accessed by the handset or by the touch screen, and if you arent careful, touching the touchscreen will move the seat in front of you. Kids arent always careful, but its hard to be upset at them.

Arrived and picked up by [info]whipartist  - huzzah! it was awesome to have a friendly face at the airport. (thanks again!!!)

We dropped off my stuff and headed over to Chez Maman. I was desperate for French Onion Soup and a glass of red wine. We had drinks at Lingba, and got into Chez Maman just as [info]byronium  arrived, run out of steam from the death cab for cutie concert I had missed arriving at such an annoying time on Saturday. (you have no idea how glad I was to see his sweet face.)

I got to see a tiny corner of the awesome rainbow everyone else had seen on Saturday night, while landing, I was looking out the window... Thanks, SF for welcoming me home!!!

calm

current location: couch, knitting
current mood: calm

someday I'll process about it all, but right now, I'm engulfed with such homesickness.

I'm reminded how fortunate I am to have such parents, who did so well in raising me in such a gorgeous place in the middle of nowhere. The forest is so green, and it smells so clear. Fireflys blinking at night, turkeys and deer walking through the backyard during the day.

But these days, I'm a city girl, and I'm looking forward to heading back to my city. :)

(My father is doing _great_, recovering well, and moving towards being able to fly, and travel, and do the things he hasnt been able to for a couple of years. I'm glad, maybe they'll visit me!)

I walked 14 Kilometers today, to and from Westerland, Sylt's main town. Most of the journey was along the bike path, but I did take a detour through the dunes so that I could walk along the beach for a while. It's all quite gorgeous. And once in town I took a stroll down the main drag like any other tourist. eventually I found Woyton's the local, semi-funky wifi equipped coffee shop. I have the homing instincts of my tribe. that being the tribe of louche caffeine-swilling screen gazers. I didn't have the laptop with me, but as I sipped my latte and ate my sandwich I saw my fellow patrons intently pecking out their various communications. The laptop has replaced the blackbound artist's book that so many of us regarded with great seriousness in previous decades. Then the joke was that we were all working on masterpieces of solipsism, projects so twee they would never be published. Now everything is published, and to what effect?

This post could have been written there, while I was looking out at the encroaching storm clouds, but instead it's being written here, back in my tidy apartment. I managed to beat the rain back and I'm about to grab some dinner.

As a side note - I've decided to take this journal friends only from here on out. Those of you who look in on me here from outside of LJ, can continue to follow me at http://naylandblake.net/wordpress/. There's no dramatic reason for this, it just feels right now.

Here I am...

Made it on through. Got here safely and all things considered with a minimum of fuss. I've been recuperating and adjusting a little. Reports that Sylt is "like the Hamptons" or "P-Town" are pretty on the money: it's got dunes and tourists and beach and marsh. It's far enough north that the sun sets around 11pm this time of year. My sleeping times are still screwed up from the traveling.

All the anxiety in my last post was due mostly to the type of traveler I am: from the second I get underway to when I arrive in a place I can deal with any of the conditions that I encounter with equanimity: I'm unruffled by road delays or anything else. But before I leave I get easily wound up by not knowing what the conditions are. It's silly and never any reflection on my hosts.

So it all is quite lovely here, and I'm sure that there will be more to say on that. The one snag is that I came here to draw, and you know how I did all that frantic packing? Well somehow in the process of doing that, I didn't pack the six new pads of drawing paper I purchased for the trip. It's less of an issue that If I had forgotten the colored pencils, but still, it means that i have to locate some supplies on this end.

It was four years ago today at 10AM
that we had the funeral Service for
my Brenda,
my Earthgirl

"Mother of Pride"

I STILL MISS HER!

Peace




ALSO
On another note, today also would have been my sister's
(Marge Brambir - 1955-1998)
54nd Birthday
I miss her too!



It's days like this that make you think only of what your have lost and not of what you still have (or will have). I am truly thankful of all my friends (on and off line)!!!.
Thank you for allowing to share this with you.

PS:

I have been busy moving "stuff" in my apartment to get ready for the new heating system they will be putting in my building starting on Monday [for a full week].

Oh, if anyone wants to come over and help please let me know.

Finally was able to post my pictures of the 17th Annual NYC Dyke March which was held on Saturday June 27, 2009. It started at Bryant Park, located at 42nd Street and 6th Avenue. The march went down 5th Avenue to Washington Square Park.

Okay, here I go: off to Germany for an entire month. To say I'm nervous is to employ understatement. Only half of my sweat is due to New York's humidity.
