Updates

Just a few little updates. I realize that I leave a lot of entries as "cliffhangers" and have failed to follow up.

• A while back I wrote an entry called "True Love: Part I". I do intend to follow up that entry with a part II, and in fact have started that entry, but it just hasn't come together yet. I have a lot of half-formed entries just waiting for further inspiration.
• I never did get that errand done, but I did get out of the house. To my surprise, it was really cold, so Téa and I could not have got far anyway. The next day I took her to her doctor's appointment, which was so traumatic (for both of us) that I decided to put off the errand until next week.
• I ended up writing down one dream, which is now just sitting on the notepad by my bed. It's a shame; I've had a lot of good dreams and have failed to write them down. I'm trying to catch up on sleep and it's not going well. Téa will sleep through till 6am a couple of nights, and then have a bad night (like last night-- woke up at 2am and then twice again before 6:00, and was wide awake for the day at 8:00). As soon as I start feeling human, my energy gets zapped yet again.
• Re: My New Years' resolutions: I'm certainly not setting the pace for 50 books, but I have been reading. I finished Michael Ondaatje's The English Patient, which was beautiful, and am now reading The Three Daughters of Madame Liang by Pearl S. Buck, one of my favorite authors. It's really enthralling; I've been reading it while I nurse the baby, and I've gotten back into my habit of reading before bed. And, obviously, I haven't given up this writing thing yet. People even read this thing!
  
• I still don't know what my unconscious is saying.

I am pondering the idea of e-mailing one of my college professors, who taught me everything I know about Lacan, and telling her about this blog. It'll probably take a while to work up the courage.
