'morning everyone.

Cass--How lovely. I can just imagine Joshua Tree (a truly beautiful place) gladly accepting your gran into its peace and timelessness. Bless you all.

Yay Erin! I'm with you on the passage of the nervous nauseousness. AND, you have more fun on tap. Good on ya.

Thanks for the good thoughts on my own dateage.

I'm definitely open to giving Fella a chance and Laura speaks what I thought about the whole thing. Better to know the complexity now. I just wish I'd known that particular piece of intel a couple of days before the fact. In the space between Sunday and Thursday, those two phone calls could have been made...to her and to me.

Sail, I've never been the kind who can juggle a string of beaus. I admire those who can. I've just never been good at that sort of thing.

In this particular case I didn't feel like it was 'serious' enough to warrant having any say over what Fella does with his romantic life. But it is my business how I manage my own. So yeah. Truth is good.

We talked more last night. It was a wee bit awkward at first, but we worked it through. Interestingly, we both brought up the 'metaphoric' nature of what is happening and I offered a metaphoric 'quest' to help us find resolution. He seemed really into it. But first, getting his stuff together is a priority.

Phew. Life. It rocks.

Gronklies. I've already taught one class this morning, and I've got two more to go. I was planning to use this time in between classes to get some paperwork stuff done, but it hasn't really happened yet.

Morning. Getting ready to go to work. Am dealing with depression that has suddenly cropped up - maybe as a result of having to return to "real life" and the consequences/fuckedupness thereof. Also, maybe because I am sick. Could be both. Whee.

juliana, which location are you working at? I'd be happy to hop on the N Judah and meet you for lunch, if that'd help.

good luck, juliana. I hope your first day is less stressful than your gut/brain is thinking it will be.

I hope your day goes well juliana.

juliana, have a great day in spite of feeling blah, icky, or down.

Feel better, Juliana, and have a good day at work, if you can.

juliana, I hope you're pleasantly surprised by your day.

I am dressed too warm for work today. I really need a wind-talker, i.e. a temperature/weather guage I can call, to find out what it's like at my desk. This box of a building is all microclimates, and today I seem to be working in Miami.

It's a lovely day here - sort of warm and slightly damp.I should be doing stuff, but I'm taking a break.

Good luck, juliana! I hope you have a good day.
