A year ago we suffered a wrenching loss. Since then there have been ups and downs and some measure of closure. But the loss remains, and remains wrenching. He will always, always be missed.
Rest in peace, Sam.
I maybe probably almost definitely have a problem. If my work load is relatively light, I slack off and do nothing at all. But then when it picks up and gets busy, I start kicking out the product like nobody's business. Unfortunately, though, I get so busy I have time for nothing but working working working. My world collapses into my cases.
I sense there's something about this situation that's not completely healthy. A month or two ago I might have had time to deal with it but now I'm too busy.
Also, if you are offered a kitchen aid mixer by my parents you may NOT take it. It's mine. Hands off.
(I need one of my kids to settle down somewhere so they can take all the stuff we can't keep in our apartment.)
It's been one of those weeks when I've barely had time to breathe, when I haven't really had time to check the news or get my hair cut or even spend time with Girchild, who is in town.
But I did manage to get the brief and all its accoutrements out the door yesterday, which feels like some kind of miracle. And today I get to see my borer and spend some time not working. It's so exciting.
And maybe this week I'll manage to get my hair cut.
Walking home today very, very late, I saw a woman walking toward me.
In full kimono regalia.
Very cool.
As of tomorrow, Google abandons even the slightest presence of preserving any individual privacy. Just let it all hang out, that's the new motto.
Ok, it's pretty easy to disable web history and download a few programs that will cut down on the tracking, but not much you can do about google docs or your email.
It's creepy. Google has my nickname--I didn't put it in, and I can't remove it.
I think I'm going to look for a new email provider. It is really a bummer. That, and I'll keep screwing with their algorithms. Who searches for barbies, NCAA, and obscure French poetry? Mwahahaha. Put together an ad for THAT person!
I've run away to play hooky for a weekend. I'm with a few other girls in a house on the beach.
Is anything more soothing than the ocean?
We saw dolphins swimming really close to the shore. And this morning, the sand was dotted with jellyfish washed up by last night's storm. I'd never seen a jellyfish before. They really do look like jelly.
I just got a new "tool," an iPad. I know, I know, I've sold out. But! Maybe, just maybe, it will let me get back to posting more regularly.
I've missed you, though perhaps you haven't missed me too much. And I've missed the discipline of finding something moderately interesting in every day that is not just about the law or my family. Today, dolphins and jellyfish. Tomorrow, who knows?
