Today was an exercise in waiting. A short wait before my interview (in which I picked up an extra job in Nov and possibly Feb), a longer wait while some unseen person troubleshot the gift registry computers at Target, an uncomfortable wait at Barnes & Noble while paramedics were called for a man having chest pains, and a long, sleepy wait at Kinko' for new resumes to be copied. All that waiting has made me tired.
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

My parents' main problem with their late dog, Goober, was that she ate the heads off the drip water system. Instead of spraying down, they went UP. So the yard was dotted with 6inch clay pots over the drip things. But they don't have a lawn, they do xeriscape. Patio, native groundcover, trees, shrubs, flowers, clay/sand and the ever present craxy desert weeds which get pulled and burned.
Goobs did have a place where she was allowed to dig (cleverly disguised by desert willow) so that part was a non-issue.
As much as I like where I live, I miss the xeriscape. Sounds strange, but....desert is me.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I don't have to go to work tomorrow.

Neat. Why? And what are you going to do with your day?

I'm ignoring that part of the equation.

Tomorrow is my ultimate day of vacation. I am sad.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Now I want an apple pancake too!
