Comfort and ease to Tzepesh and his loving people.

All the best to Jilli and Pete and Tzepesh.

Just caught up, shouldn't be here but needed the break and missed my peeps. Quick meara:

Erin, what everyone else said. Very proud of you, and went through a similar breakdown in Peace Corps. But here I am, back in a teaching-type position that works for me. I hope you find something wonderful.

Zen, oy. I feel for you and I'm glad you found a nice hotel to crash in.

bonny, that is absolutely gorgeous. Now I want to try coloring some mandalas. A friend gave me a huge one in college, but I never colored it and finally got rid of it. I'd have to do it in small chunks, I can't hold pencils for too long before my hands hurt, but yeah... just maybe.

Dear org, pretty sure it's not my fault I have no idea who I need to get approval from for anything. Also, some admin support for my program would be nice, since 1 day in the office every other week is clearly not enough. And since I didn't take this job to sit on my butt in front of a computer. Thx.

Thinking good thoughts for Tzepesh and his people.

Lots of ~ma for Tzepesh.

{{{Jilli}}} Much cat~ma.

Bonny and Jilli, I know I owe you both e-mail. I will get to it, but I haven't been home much the past few days.

I'm at Mom's now waiting for her to get home from the airport and so tired from PT and errands. Papa is here making dinner. Pot roast, yum!

Oh, and just as One of Those Things, Erin absolutely rocks as a cold read beta. She gave me awesome feedback plus the all important, thumbs-up-you-don't-suck.

Just wanted to put that Out There. 'Cause you know, once it's out there, it's out there forever.

Hookers and blow, people. Sitting in Richmond airport. Boarding for Boston in about an hour. Doubletree Hotels have the BEST complimentary chocolate-chip-walnut cookies. The lady at the desk gave me two because she felt sorry for me.

You know, I originally contemplated driving this trip. If I'd left this morning at the same time I did, provided traffic wasn't unusually bad, I'd be getting there about now. But, my back's been hurting like the devil, so I'm glad I didn't sit in a car all day. And traffic is always unusually bad, which makes no logical sense, but there you go. Also, cookies.

Much health~ma for Tzepesch. Be well, kitty.

Apparently we trust our trainees with power tools but not fishing poles. Oh, liability. Why?

Oh, liability. Why?

You'll put an eye out.

Yay, cookies. I know a frequent flyer whose motto is "If you've never missing a plane, you've wasted too much of your life in airports."

Tzepesch, stop worrying the humans and get better.

Erin, I really admire the ability to decide you're on the wrong path and take another road.

While this is small on the cosmic scale, I am starting to twitch from the number of disgusting green inchworms flying about. I don't have the fear of multi-legged things, but larvae send me over the edge.

Also, I wish I could put out a sign to the world that says, "I'm depressed. Come back later."
