bleh bleh bleh. Somebody take me home, I am FED UP with all the sunshine and blue skies and palm trees. I am going stir crazy, inertia is addling my brains, I am longing for foggy days and misty nights... 5 days more.
On the happy side, my Lo-Tech is totally finished! I put in the zipper today (my first), and it is pretty damn fine, if I don't say so myself. It's a big comfy binky, and I am wearing it all day today, even if it gets to be 80 degrees. Rachael has pics, so yell at her to get to the developer. But then pity her for having to work midnights again.
We just hired a new girl for the office. For the past 15 years she worked midnights for an airline, and I noticed again the strange, ethereal quality that graveyard folks have. They always look like they are dreaming a little bit. Rachael has managed to cover up this dreaminess a bit with the sweet attentiveness she has perfected, but it's still there.
I am still excited about heading south; there's so many strange sights to see! My railing against this damn place and the damn weather here is just the frustrated cage rattling of a zoo monkey (be glad I'm not flinging shit). Just like that monkey, as soon as I gain my freedom I am going to linger around the cage, enjoying the new perspective of the other side of the bars. I don't think escaped elephants long for the known safety of their cages; they just want to snitch some free peanuts to enjoy as only free elephants can.
Back to reveling in my bleh. Bleh, bleh, bleh. Bleh X 5 days.
What's funny about this is that you're right. I try to be sweetly attentive, but it's hard to keep my dreamy head focused sometimes. It's weird that you nailed it so directly. Either you're very noticing or I'm painfully obvious.....
love you! It's weird to send you a comment that will be emailed to me to be forwarded on by me. Eh. xox

Hey, my husband has worked Dracula shift forever, and he certainly resembles that remark! Funny, I always just thought it was a Mark thing...

Wow, you've finished LoTech? You were just starting it the last time I looked. Of course I've basically lost a month. Ah well. I've still got my cotton yarn and it's not too sooty, and only a little smelly, so I'm winding balls to start lotech. But I'm thinking I'm going to do it from the top down, so I don't know how close to the pattern it will end up. :-)
I have connections in central and south florida - check with me if you need a place to park your truck or shower down there and I'll see if I can connect you with anyone. My sister and a lot of friends are there. But I'm only managing to be on line once a day or so right now, so don't expect a lightning fast response.
peace, stonering

Hello Beth?
Hi! Long-time listener, first-time caller. I just wanted to say that you are just great. Really, you are, I couldn't face my morning screen of Java without catching up on all of your exciting news. I was just wondering where you're planning to take the show from here? So, I'm sorry, no real question for you or Dr. Drew, but I just had to actually speak to you in person! You rock!
(Didja like the bad computer programming pun?)
