Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Mom update: She is feeling and sounding better although she is in the hospital at least until Monday. They are leaning towards pneumonia, but are still not sure and may do a lung biopsy on Monday if the mass in her lung doesn't diminish.

Me Update: Husband gets home from a week away tomorrow. I have skating and, yes, working at my goshdarn office. Possibly seeing Spiderman on Sunday night.

Our wings are not tired.

The thing is, right now I only commute when it's necessary to be onsite for a client (which is usually only one day, working around traffic times), and I am paid for the commute time. Otherwise I am working from home and have zero commute, which means a lot more time to just, you know, actually enjoy my life. I feel like in the last 6 months, I've learned to finally relax. I'm reading a lot more, seeing friends a LOT more, have time for my dogs, and have lots of time to garden. Going back to spending 10+ hours a week sitting in traffic is just not appealing. But it's a good opportunity, so I am weighing all options.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

smonster, Lindsay L., who used to work for the Institute for the Environment? I can't remember if you two knew each other. I think you did. She works for Marine Sciences now. Anyway, she's in two or three dance troupes, I can't keep track. An Italian folk dancing one, and this one that's performing tonight...some experimental collective. Idk. I got invited on Facebook, like so many things. Can you tell I'm probably not going to go? There's a bottle of wine here with my name on it. But she's resurrecting my Green Labs committee for me, so.

Mmm. Wine.
