You know… I don’t remember the last time I did… prompts. Or like. Gosh.

It’s been a while. I don’t know if it would help because I don’t remember what it’s like to… write things?

dang it the roof blew partly off the yurt last night

via https://ift.tt/2mG0DR1

dang it the roof blew partly off the yurt last night apparently, brother in law says he ‘fixed it’ but they’re getting huge rain today and i just. urgh.

well, there’s not much that could get wet, in there, that i can’t dry out again easily; i left the bed unmade, the sheets in a rubbermaid bin under it, and the top of the mattress covered with a cut-up air mattress. 

so the spiders are probably pissed as hell, and my roof insulation is possibly entirely missing, but there’s nothing that’ll be irretrievably wrecked by water, provided the roof remains largely upon the frame for the remainder of the week.

Uuuuugh I hope it’s back together well enough and things stay on the good side of dryish

Thanks, I hope so too! Sis was like “well it won’t start raining here for another hour so it’s all good” and I was like… “it’d take me a damn sight longer than an hour to drive there so I guess I just gotta hope!” 

I mean. Nothing in there is going to get utterly destroyed. I do have my roller skates in a bag on a shelf, but the bag is zipped shut and uh, not water proof but at least water won’t puddle in it, and everything else can be dealt with. I think. Probably. 

Clothes are mostly in plastic drawers, but some of them are in fabric hanging baskets instead, so they’ll be mildewy by Saturday if they got wet. But there’s not really any help for that, and I have other clothes. A load of laundry and a sunny day for drying will take care of that.

All the bedclothes are in containers, and most everything else is knick-knacks and the like.

My spiders have probably left, but that’s just as well.

And who knows where the insulation ended up. I really ought to replace the roof tarp next year; I was thinking of eking out one more year but it’s too small and so the wind gets under it like this. If I had a proper door and a tarp that wasn’t too small, this wouldn’t happen, so I guess I have to get on that a little harder.

shacklefunk:

yknow theres a lot of pressure to be successful, particularly on artsy kids whose professions are seen as useless unless theyre famous, but life is fucking hard and sometimes things dont turn out

but i think thats not bad. my dad has wanted to be a musician forever, and hes rly pretty good. but then he joined the military to get away from an abusive family, and then he got married, and then he got divorced, and a lot of horrible shit HAPPENED. he has ptsd and severe anxiety and he could never really get back on the horse. and he never made it as a musician, and now hes 53

but i grew up in a house full of instruments, and he can play all of them, and some of my earliest memories are of him playing guitar on the front porch and me thinking there wasnt a better musician in the world. so. even if you dont get to the stars, exactly, what you do isnt worthless. its not a waste of time if life is difficult and you cant make it, or if you arent famous, or if your work doesn’t influence thousands of people. it will influence someone

there are a million ways to be happy and a million ways to be a successful artist. we create what we do to enhance the human experience and relate to each other and improve ourselves. theres something to be said for just doing that,,,for the sake of doing it, yknow

This is the most comforting, warm and important piece of text I have ever read, and it is so true. No life is wasted that is spent sharing and loving.
