So. two months later, much physical therapy, and generous help and support from friends, and I'm back at work tonight at the lad's house.
some things have changed- i'm more careful about how i do things. the family's is supposed to change a couple things, haven't yet. dunno if they will. but now i have the agency's backing, so eventually change will happen.
lad himself is doing well- smiled when i took his vitals, went right back to sleep.
brought my putty, my elastic bands, and my yoga mat. so if you email or ping me and i don't answer, it's because i'm busy getting sleek and fit. or, you know, something like that.

And I could really use the business. Am on worker's compensation while this shoulder gets better (got to love a good physical therapist, I'm tellin' ya!), but the money from that won't be coming for a while. So, to keep the purse from turning inside out, I'm reminding y'all that I Sell Books (&).
I have a selection of Usborne books; I have classics, I have science, gardening, art, children's books, poetry, fiction, travel, health sciences, movies on VHS and DVD (all NTSC/Region 1 though, sorry my international friends!), psychology and esoterica, philosophy, politics, biography, autobiography, and historical novels; I ship internationally as well as provide expedited shipping if need be.
If, dear friends/readers, you were willing to do a shout-out in your journals (only if you want to! no pressure! honest) I'd really appreciate it.
EnjoyIt! books&. I know, I'm still with Amazon- am still looking for another place, but so far I've not got one. So please- if your conscience will let you order from me, or recommend me, I'll really really appreciate the help.
Thank you for your time, and have a good weekend/week (whenever you read this.)

(taking a cue from a friend here, with the + and the - and all)
(+) I have awesome friends, online and offline. AWESOME, awesome friends.
(+) my Presto plug-in water kettle has an automatic shut-off for when I get distracted and it boils dry. Thank you. Presto you have saved my kettle.
(+) because I like to stock up I have plenty of lovely teas and evaporated milk and good honey for said teas, and also Chai Maté.
(-) about two weeks ago now I injured my right shoulder at work. around 4 am after I did my checks and chores (in home care we do a lot of the care of the patient's environment, too- laundry, cleaning, etc.- and because I have AWESOME quietness skills I can do a lot while the lad is sleeping without waking him or his family) I sat down to chart and my right bicep felt very tight and sore, as though I'd been lifting 100lb sacks for an hour straight. I rested it for half an hour. The tightness and soreness abated. But at the end of my shift, when I have some amount of lifting to do, I found my right arm was weak.
what I SHOULD have done, in retrospect, is stop by work on the way home, report it as a work-place injury, and start worker's comp right away. Even though I was exhausted, it was going to be HOT, I needed to get to sleep, and starting the whole w/c thing takes HOURS. HOURS.
what I DID was go straight home, put ice on it, and try to get to sleep before my bedroom hit 95 degrees. And kept working. Compensating. Because, as smart as I am, as much as I would have advised anyone else to report it right away, I. Kept. Working. Because that's what nurses do. We compensate, and we keep working. We Do.Not.Stop. Oops.
So, not better by last week. went to see my doc, she wrote me off for a week, NO LIFTING so no modified duty. And in talking with her I realized I have to make the worker's comp claim. If my agency paid sick time, this wouldn't be such a big deal. If I'd saved more last year, not just enough to cover Europe but some cushion, too, it would not be such a big deal.
HOWEVER. I have started the process now. So at some point there will be some money. I've called my creditors (the few I have- student loans, etc.) and set up grace periods/deferments/lower payments/canceled accounts. I've got food and some money for fresh if I can't get it from gardens/freecycle, and enough gas in the car to get me to and from Physical Therapy. So it's ok for the next coupla weeks, and I'll know by then how it's going to play out, when I can work, and what W/C is going to come through with.
so (+) I have a job with W/C as a benefit. *whew*
(-) AND (+) EnjoyIt! is closed while I rehab. (-) because it would be a bit of income. But (+) because I can double check all my listings, see what's not selling and decide if I want to donate it instead, and work out (in my head) how I want to organize the books for easy shipping (which changes as they sell, as my stock gets smaller). So, that's good.
(+) I have this opportunity to live one-armed, mostly, for some time, so I am learning as much as I can about that limitation while I can't avoid it. I'm well aware it's not the same as a permanent change in my ability. But I'm hoping I can take the time I'd spend whining about not being able to have my own way all the time and use it to learn about myself, about this limitation, and about working with/through it, instead.
thus: (+) I have managed to get the old sheet off the bed, the new one on, and the laundry into the washer! (This is epic today, when it's usually zoop! zoop! with my magic wand, and all done.) I have soup, self-made with beans from one friend's garden (they dried on the vine, he was going to toss them out! oh no you don't! so I have shelled beans! one-handed! and made yummy soup) and fresh veg from another friend's and left-over rice from the housemates, and it is good. I have become adept at resetting my cellphone every 30 mins to remind me to take 5 mins for arm/shoulder exercises.
and I HAVE AWESOME FRIENDS. yes, I do. *nods* So, on the whole, the Early Autumn State of the Slashfairy is more + than -.

| Safe Journey, Sonny Richards (from Perceval Press, Aug 19) |

Goodbye for now Sonny Richards. Pilamaya, He Sapa Hoksila!
Clement "Sonny" Richards
RAPID CITY - Clement "Sonny" Larvie Richards, "He Sapa Hoksila," left this world Thursday, Aug. 13, 2009, at Rapid City Regional Hospital. Sonny was born April 23, 1942, in Kadoka, S.D., to Edison and Gertie (Larvie) Richards. He grew up in Rapid City and was raised by his grandparents, Charles and Angeline Larvie. Sonny was the first world champion men's fancy dancer and constantly dominated men's powwow dancing in the 1960s and 1970s. He was well known for doing trick roping dancing. His unique style of dance and dress changed and influenced the way people viewed powwow dancing and can still be seen today. In 1963 Sonny met his wife, Mary Ann Brown, a Navajo from Ganado, Ariz., when she came to Rapid City to enroll in a nursing program. They married Jan. 25, 1964, and from this union they had five children: Vivian (Mike Quick Bear) of Rapid City, Chuck (Bridgit) of Fort Belvoir, Va., Clement Jr. (Gerri) of Box Elder, and Rosalyn Minor (Lance) of Box Elder. Sonny also has an adopted son, Jason James of Edmonton, Canada. In 1963, Sonny met the famous Lakota Iyeska Frank Fools Crow, who took Sonny as his apprentice and taught him how to help people of all walks of life. Since 1975 to the moment he passed, Sonny walked the best he could in balance and humility. He extended his hand, his soul, his sense of humor and his home to help others unconditionally regardless of their race, creed or social status. Sonny loved the Lakota way of life and served as an ambassador for Lakota spiritual ways, especially helping young people stay sober and achieve in this way of life. He worked passionately to preserve the Lakota language and rituals. He was elected to serve as a Bear Butte board member after the fire in 1995. In 1969 Sonny became the first Native American officer in the Rapid City Police Department. Working in community relations, he was minority people's liaison with the justice system. He worked with the police department until 1980 when he took an early retirement due to health problems. In the 1980s he was employed as the Title VII Bilingual Education Program home liaison officer with the Rapid City Area Schools. He served as a cultural adviser and linguist. During this time he also was an adviser to the Wicokini Dance Troupe. In the early 1990s, Sonny met screenwriter John Fusco and they became good friends. He assisted John in making three major films by serving as the Lakota cultural adviser for Thunder Heart, Dream Keeper and Hidalgo. Sonny is also survived by three siblings: Gerald (PZ) Larvie, Shirley Larvie and Lester Larvie, all of Rapid City. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Charles and Angeline Larvie; his father and mother, Edison and Gertie (Larvie) Richards, and his wife, Mary Ann (Brown) Richards. He will be deeply missed by his 16 grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, and numerous extended family members from around the U.S., Canada and Europe. Sonny was loved and respected by many; his legacy and example will be carried on in the hearts of those who knew him best. Sonny's family appreciates all the support and prayers that have been offered during this time of change. (from Rapid City Journal)

These next several trip posts will relate to the first bit of my 2009 trip, my 5 nights in London, before Germany. On this leg I stayed at the Gen with ![[info - personal]](http://s.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png) downtide and we met up with ainsoph15 for a lovely day out. This particular post is mostly details and lists, what I did my first day, and little observations.
So, when I stay in London by myself, or to meet people, I stay at the Generator Hostel. Its nearest Tube station is Russell Square which puts it, pretty much, at the outer border of Bloomsbury, as Tavistock Square is just down Tavistock Place. It's also near enough to Euston Square and St. Pancras/King's Cross tube station and the St. Pancras International Eurostar station to walk to them, too. Nearby are Friends House (with a lovely little bookshop/cafe, and a nice restaurant as well; the British Library, British Museum, Coram's Fields (admission for adults only with accompanying child), and Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital.
Between the Generator and Russell Square, on Marchmont street, is Gay's the Word, another grand bookshop. Even if I'm not staying in the Gen I make sure to stop here each time I'm in London. There are a number of nice small restaurants: Indian, Italian, fish & chips, and a larger shopping center with a Waitrose market in it. While it's possible to spend a small fortune on food in London, it's equally possible to eat fresh good food for not so much. It's all in how you look for it. When I stay at the Gen, I go to Waitrose for things like water, milk, bread, fresh veg/fruit.
Unless I'm going to be able to get to Chinatown, behind Leicester Square, in Soho. Next time I go to London, my plan is to go to Chinatown my first day, for fresh food and for noodles and tea. I don't know if that'll work out, but I hope so! I've also been food shopping on Berwick Street Market and Borough Market but from the Gen Chinatown's just a bit easier, even though it's several tube stops away. (I, so far, really like the Tube. For all its faults, and it has them, it's never let me down yet.)
I've not yet taken the Gen's Free Walking Tour though I mean to every time. I did, as it turned out, walk a good bit of the Writers Walk this time, though not deliberately, and not with the information on this website at hand at the time. (Thanks to poetic_self for that site, the London for Free site.)
This trip (like last year) I flew British Airways. It's a nice flight, they seem to do a good job, I'm used to the planes now. And this year they threw in a hotel room, for the ticket holder, so I had my first night in London in the President Hotel, just behind Russell Square station. The room was clean, the bathroom (and HUGE tub) cleaner, the bed comfortable, and the breakfast very nice indeed. I got into Heathrow, through customs, took the Tube to Russell Square, and went round the corner to check in, and et voila! done. Plugged in the travel-cellie, had a bath, a snack, and crashed. It was grand.
Next day I got up, had breakfast, took a short walk, came back, put my luggage in the luggage store and checked out. Walked up to the Gen, checked myself and downtide in, then on round to Friends House (I was raised in Quaker Meeting, though I'm not a member, only a Friend of the Friends) and their little bookshop, then over to the British Library for their The Sound and the Fury: The Power of Public Speaking exhibit. I could live in the British Library- that's another place I want to take the tour of, to see as much as I can of it, but once again I only had a few hours, so I could only skim (last year I saw the Ramayana exhibit and the Royal Rhari Chau dancers there).
Then I went back down to the President, got my luggage, round to Russell Square, and waited for downtide. That was a happy meeting, I tell you. And there we will stop our tale for today. More soon.

Maurice Sendak's Arbuthnot lecture, Descent into Limbo, in the Summer/Fall 2003 issue of ALA's Children & Libraries ??
I'd really appreciate it. I'm slowly transcribing the video http://mitworld.mit.edu/video/65 but a) I keep getting caught up in the lecture and missing my place and b) I can't listen well at work, because 'my' lad is sleeping so no turning up the sound or earphones (the one might disturb him, the other I might miss something, a change in his breathing, for intstance).
Thank you in advance. .doc, .rtf, .pdf- they all work for me. And please let me know if I need to pay you for costs, copying, postage, anything like that.
Pass the word for me? I can really use this transcript for some articles I'm writing for An Ounce of Prevention. Thank you so very very much.
(I'm also looking for an article by Patricia Moccia, RN, from American Journal of Nursing ca 1992, titled "Are We Dying for Nuclear Weapons?" I have a paper copy someplace, but not handy, and not enough time/money to go through ordering it online/uni library. Just in case someone here can access it "free" (your time/trouble will be reimbursed in some way- fic, postcards from Europe, some other research I can do for you) I'm asking. Thanks!)

Is today. Florence Nightingale's birthday.
In her honor, three things. Gifts for her, maybe, or for all of us.
It's also Fibromyalgia Awareness Day
FM awareness day at Chronic Pain/Karen Lee Richards
Personal story
It's International Nurses' Day. It's ten days until I graduate with my BSN. One thing I have learned over the long haul is, nursing applies to everything, and everything applies to nursing. Florence, with her meticulous data collection and interpretation and the help of a few well-placed friends, brought the British Government to a completely different understanding of how a man wounded at the front should be treated, and why. It took her over a decade just to be heard- she is my model for keeping on keeping on.
All that said: I went back to school to get my BSN after getting my RN because I have a concern, as Quakers say: I'm concerned about the presence of nuclear weapons on the planet. I find them to be the single most expensive public health hazard of our times, and I want them gone. An Ounce of Prevention launched yesterday. This is my professional blog: This is where I am pursuing my goal in connection with the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons. I am keeping this identity separate from that one for reasons of focus, but you're all welcome to read there, to find me on Twitter and Facebook, and help me help others have better health/lives/world. (Ideas for columns gratefully accepted, caveat being, I'll be writing about it from my angle. Just so we're clear. I can't write the column you would, but I might be able to host it as a guest column. We can talk about it.)

As much as I didn't want to do this quite yet, I find that the twin deadlines of Graduation Day and Leaving for Europe are coming more quickly than I'm prepared for.
So it is with some sorrow and a bit of relief that I'm putting EnjoyIt on vacation.
If there's something you know you wanted, let me know- Everything will be there when I get back, and I'll be re-opening it while I find someplace else to list my books. If there's something you REALLY wanted soon, PM me here, and we can work it out.
I have really enjoyed this project, and am so very very appreciative of all of you who commented, supported, advertised, helped with problem-solving, donated, and of course, BOUGHT BOOKS!
Blessings on your heads.

If you've followed along for any length of time, you know that I'm a big fan of what Joanna Macy calls 'despair-work'. Interestingly, this is not work in which one admits despair and then gives up. This is work in which one admits to despair being present, then uses the energy gained by that admission to generate new energy: to create hope, in one way or another.
I've joined the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War in their ican project, the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons. I'm inviting you to join me, by donating, by spreading the word, by believing this can be accomplished across the lines of nations and over the objections of corporations and armies, through the work of concerned, dedicated, connected individuals- a fellowship of the many, if you will.
The secondary cost of maintaining nuclear weapons stockpiles is part of what the GreenhamCommonWomen worked to make apparent, what Eric and David Thiermann, in their difficult but beautiful film The Last Epidemic demonstrate in clear and personal way, what Joanna Macy Rogers from her practice of Engaged Buddhism names Nuclear Guardianship. The thing is done, it cannot be undone, but it can be put into balance: not the balance of bomb for bomb, because that is no balance, but the balance of action and care.
I'm inviting you to join me, and bring your friends, family and co-workers. Invite your government, corporations, churches, synagogues, mosques. There is room for everyone to do this work, and many hands make light work.
As Aragorn said: There is always hope.
Today, I bring this sliver of it and hold it alight. Please, join me in carrying the fire.

Yep, I'm graduating! have to pick up my cap&gown over at uni this week. If I remember I'll do it after work before my mammogram on Friday. *eyeroll* life of an older student.
EnjoyIt will go on vacation May 25th (last day I can ship) because I'm leaving for Europe May 26th! (London-Germany-Denmark-Germany-London) Home July 8th, back to work probably the 12th. Thank you every one who has bought or will buy, who has passed the word to friends and co-workers. It's been a real joy, becoming a book-seller, and it's made the difference between being able to pull off this trip nicely and have it be a grind and a worry.
Have started a WordPress Blog as a professional place to write; those of you who read along know that peace-work and despair-work are two lifetime interests/pursuits for me. My entire aim with pursuing my bachelors' has been to get the base for doing work in this area- yes, I know people do work in it without college degrees, but I want to change something in Nursing, open up a dialogue inside Nursing, so I thought I'd better get a bit more academic education in Nursing to give me some place to stand. It worked: I feel/AM better prepared to state my case. Now I'm making the place from which to speak. It's very satisfying.
Ok, I've a chance at an early bed this morning, and I'm going to take it. Blessings on your heads.

Speak Its Name has a call out for well-written Lesbian Historical Romance.
To further that cause, and in the name of getting the most bang for a buck I can, I'm posting this list of books that are for sale at EnjoyIt which might be useful for research, reading, or sharing. Some lesbian, some historical, some factual, some fiction, some seemingly odd until you realize they're snapshots of a period of time- but if (when? maybe) I attempt something in this vein, these will have been some of my references.
In regard to amazonfail: yes, my shop's an Amazon Associates shop. I'm looking at other places: Alibris.com, Biblio.com, but right now it's still all posted up at Amazon. I'm shipping until May 25th, then it goes on hiatus until mid-July.
To spare the FL, a cut before the list of books, which I hope tickle your imaginations and help produce glorious new works!( Read more... )

'my' girl, the younger of the twins i've taken care of these past two+ years, is in hospital waiting a 'liver specialist' to see her.
we just had the anniversary of her sister's death last year on the 14th April, so we're all concerned.
i won't know anything for at least a few hours, maybe a coupla days, but- just, if you have a corner someplace, to tuck 'good wishes' for K, her gramma, and the family, will you?
thanks. very much.

Have updated 100 of 528 listings (must do each one manually) to include 'ships internationally'. Will have to do the others tonight & tomorrow. If there's something you want, or someone you know wants, and it's not updated to 'international' yet, just PM me through Amazon or here, and I'll fix it so you can order.
Thanks so much. My books, movies, and CDs are so happy to be having new homes.

Two versions of "Come Pick Me Up", Ryan Adams
Been playing around with GoogleMaps, various trips taken and dreamed about, and with FlashEarth, and got me a wistful moment wishing to be with beloveds, to meet new friends and old, to be on the road. So, here is one of my favorite road-trip songs. Yes, from Elizabethtown (underrated movie, y'all), but even more from that need to travel, to travel to, to travel with.

So, y'all might or might not know I'm in a breakfast club with some neighbors/old friends. I was cook today. Up at four, mostly because I had slept all I could.
What I cooked: baby yukon gold potatoes, boiled, whole, with: scrambled eggs, tomatoes (sliced) on watercress (fresh), asparagus (steamed) with red bell pepper (raw, sliced thin), orange and grapefruit (fresh, sliced thin, oh so good!). Coffee, tea, juice. mmm. Served 14 people over 1 and a half hours. Fun.
Cleaned the kitchen as I went, counters and appliances and so on, because that's how I do.
Then I listed another box of books. Got orders ready, and went down to storage to pick up the ones that needed to be filled there. Took 37 parcels to the post office! and shipped. Got home and found out I'd made a shipping error last week. Hope to hell it's only a switch- if I made a sequential labeling error or packing error on a bunch of orders, I'm a) going to be really unhappy with myself and b) be making a lot of refunds/switches/apologies. I don't think I knew I was that tired, which concerns me. Usually I know when I'm so tired I'm not paying attention. Grr. Anyway. Only time will tell. I emailed the fellow I HOPE I switched on, and can only wait until he emails back. If I messed up your order, please let me know ASAP. I want you to be happy, and my books and movies to be in their proper new homes.
Cleaned out the car.
Did laundry.
Read poetry. Listened to Lawrence Ferlinghetti on Democracy Now! (and if anyone wants the podcast but can't get it, let me know, I'll send it to you!)
Listed four more boxes of books. (Good stuff, too. Check it out. I promise not to send you the wrong thing.)
Combed the cat, watered my tiny little garden.
Chatted with two close friends in IM for a few minutes. Missed catching another one for our anniversary today, will have to catch up soon.
Had a bath, and am now in bed. it's only 9pm but it feels like tomorrow, already. Hoping to sleep for a good 5 or 6 hours, anyway.
Sleeping with the cat, 'cause the housies are away this week.
Their once-a-month housekeeper's coming in the morning- still have stuff to put away before she comes, but.. it'll wait a few hours.
Lots of love, be well, be cared for, and blessings on your heads, y'all.

New listings at EnjoyIt: more movies, CDs, books. I've turned up a number of things that are not in Amazon's inventory: out-of-print children's books, young adult books, and adult books of all kinds: reference, non-fiction, fiction; and CDs. I'm going to scan those and post them here, in hopes that there'll be something you've been looking AGES for and this will re-unite you. PLEASE, if you would, when you to to Amazon, go in through my store: I get referral bonuses when you do, if you buy something there. And please, if you would, buy something from me (if there's something you want) or pass the news of my little store on to friends. It all helps. Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who's bought, advertised, or just said "yay!"
I think there're still anime/manga goodies at LoyalDreamer's place, so if you tend more that way, drop by and see what she's got.
Who knows? we might have those Mother's Day, Father's Day, Graduation... out-of-the-blue "Because I thought of you!" presents.
Otherwise, sleep has been at a real premium, for no single reason. I'm sure hoping to sleep today AND tonight, though. Yoga/stretching/physical therapy program continues apace: it must be working, because a) I notice when I'm sore (which is good) and the difference between that and achey (which is not so good).
FINALLY nearly finished with these two little papers for Critical Thinking. This is where sleep is so essential- I can work, I can chat, I can sell movies. But I can't write good papers without adequate sleep. *sigh* in two weeks I'll have the house to myself for two weeks. I'm hoping to have that time to finish these, get them to the prof, and do any changes he wants.
I know there've been some sad things happen this week in friends' and acquaintances lives. You are in my thoughts.
The rest of you, be well, have fun, and blessings on ALL your heads.
