My mind finally feels at rest. After weeks... months... of spinning and racing, I now know quiet. The fragmentation of my thoughts seems to be gone and I'm able to absorb and concentrate again. It's as if I'm lying in a boat, out on the water, just drifting. It's calm and peaceful as I softly bob along. It's been so long since I've experienced ( Read more... )

Hi all, October is breast cancer awareness month. I know that most of us are still too young for mammograms, but I wanted to ask you all to remind other women in your life to get one.

A great friend is moving out of state for grad school this weekend. I saw her today and we hung out together for the last time in a while. It sucks. I hate when friends move. Havving many far-away friends does make for great places to travel to, but that only happens when one has the time and money of course. I'm really happy since my friend ( Read more... )

I get to train my first new employee. Yes, a real one. Hmmm. Guess I might be getting good at this whole job thing after all. With this new person and one before him, I think I'm now something like third from the bottom in the office food chain.
