Things I did since the last time I posted:

Went out to dinner and had a wonderful, wonderful meal and actually enjoyed it.

Woke up the next morning feeling like maybe life isn’t a meaningless spin around a star.

Paid $60 for someone to clean my water softener by poking at it with a toothpick and blowing on it.

Averted a crisis in someone else’s career/soul searching.

Sat in a cold library packed with teenagers while perusing books on career/soul searching.

Purchased books to aid in career/soul searching.

Updated the links on the blog to reflect my visitors who have been commenting and sharing their blogs with me as well as some of those who are like me.

• I’m really not sure how The Wiggles made it on the list, but I do like them, so they’re staying.


• I don’t know how this little bucko made it there either, but I think it’s swell. I’d like one of these some day.

Proposed and was awarded the task of designing a database to aid in grant evaluation.

Arranged for our church’s intern pastor to do Mom’s burial.

Agreed to babysit for a fun toddler.

Listened to my boss tell me that it’s beautiful outside and I should just go home because she’s going home now. At 3pm.

Sat here at work anyway because I don’t really look forward to weekends now. That’s when I miss her the most.
