Today as a (totally bummer) postcard:
Posted on | January 10, 2008 |
I woke up late this morning. In the night the power had gone out and my alarm clock was blinking 3:45. I was late to a staff meeting.
The children were needy, needy, needy today.
I came home to a missing rooster who had been chased down the road to my neighbor’s house (several hundred yards away) by their daughter’s dog. He was dazed and missing tail feathers but alive. I caught him and tossed a sheet over his head and carried him back up the hill in my lap in the passenger seat of the car.
I ate soup with my mom tonight, just the two of us at her place, and felt deeply grateful to be cared for.
I keep forgetting where I’ve put things: a sign of too-tiredness. I can’t find the notebook I use to keep my lists. I’ve seen it and can remember seeing it but cannot remember where. It is maddening.
How was your day?

Had a 90 minute interview for a new job. I was emotionally spent.
TGIF!!!

So far today is blissful with coffee and good internet reading! Yesterday is really a distant dream….I think it was a pleasant day for the most part, inspite of so much being not the way I want it when it comes to my work life. Hope today is good to you.

Love the butterfly stamp, that’s gotta make you feel a little better. Glad to see you’re posting art this month. And Bean is getting so big! I can barely believe what a little man he is becoming in those pictures from your Christmas. Hope the 11th is turning out to be a better day for you.

Day - an all day meeting listening to a mobile games company present their ideas in ratatat fashion, followed by evening with a 4 year old talking in remarkably the same way. Time for some headphones and a book.

a little late, but, my day….my week has been blah. i have no motivation to do any of the things i love. even working out. wednesday i stayed in bed until 5 p.m. i wonder if it is s.a.d. i believe in that. do you? or that i haevnt been writing. i am just now back to my blog after a two month break. i wonder if i am congested with thoughts…weighed down by them. or if it really is the rain, fog and clouds.
ahhh, ennui as the french call it here. i hope you have fun climbing. my fiancé and i are starting a salsa class soon!
