Clearance Level: RedI still hear your voice from across the horizon

...or maybe from behind this giant pile of dishes.

1 of 1 pages

I’ve been doing a fairly good imitation of headless poultry these last three months. Packing...moving...unpacking...getting business licenses...finding new doctor...oh, yes. And reorganizing the business. And getting new clients. And generally going nutso. I haven’t had time to update here, I haven’t had time to email anybody, I haven’t had time to chat on the phone with friends.

I had a dream about washing dishes. The pile of dishes to be washed never diminished. At one point, I just started smashing things...and still the pile didn’t get any smaller. H’m, yes, I think this might be stress-related, doctor. Now give me my prescription.

On the plus side of the ledger, I just sent off the paperwork to finish a new client’s vendor-approval dance; and hopefully should be getting freelance work from them (in addition to my other two ongoing gigs) within the next month. I’ve also managed to do a fairly good job evaluating the new billing system.

Tomorrow is my birthday. I’m trying to think of something suitably decadent. Possibly buying myself a chocolate cake...and spending the day in my jammies and socks, drinking fresh-ground Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, talking on the phone with Apryl, eating chocolate cake (it’s good for you! It has milk, and eggs, and wheat! That’s nutrition!!!1). Yes. This sounds plan-like.

It’s nice to see you back (and me back too).  So, did you stay in your jammies all day?  That’s my plan for my birthday this summer wink

Arden: dang, I thought I had replied to you the day after you posted! (Then again, I’ve been doing a fairly good impression of headless poultry lately...I’m surprised more things haven’t gone lost.)

she: hey, back after a long silence!

Thanks, both of you. I had a nice birthday: painted my fingernails a bloodred-amber-metallic color, got a smallish chocolate mousse torte, ordered pizza, and watched one of my shows on DVD. (And no laundry. :D ) I didn’t stay in my jammies, but was in my “don’t go outside the house” sweats and disreputable teeshirt combo, with my genuine muppetskin socks. Warm, comfortable, and excellent for a day of lounging about!
