I spent several hours writing my parents a letter today (Dad called and said write us!) I usually try to jazz them up a little by presenting them as a newsletter or something. This time I was using the textboxes in Word2000. It was incredibly frustrating. Once you have a text box and you have filled it up another one has to be inserted for the overflow but there is no way to insert another one at the end. You can insert one before the last one but not after the last one. Eventually I inserted a blank page in the middle, manually moved each text box to the previous page, and then was able to insert additional blank pages after those text boxes as long as I always left a blank page at the end. Argghhh!!!!
And during it all the ovary cramps continued and the pre-period headache started. I just didn't feel up to dealing with anything, going anywhere, doing any of the myriad things on my todo list (and we won't discuss the length of that list…) I finally cancelled :( an overnight trip I had planned. This is the third time that we haven't been able to get together, twice now because of my period, once because they had the flu.
And I have been frustrated about our Pagan Pride committee. I feel like we are discussing/arguing the basic philosophy expressed in the Pagan Pride organization. The point of Pagan Pride day is to let the public know that we exist, that we are proud of who and what we are, and to show them the kinds of things that we do. The idea is to correct some misrepresentations and show that we are not so much a fringe minority but that there are a lot of us. I thought people were involved in this committee because they agreed with the basic idea. But apparently there are some misconceptions about what this is about and some people that would prefer a different direction.
