Invite Hell

and if you do, make sure that Kinkos is there to witness it.

P and I are off to fix the mistakes made by one lazy kinkos at another lazy kinkos. We are starting way late in the day and this is only troubling because I am back to work tomorrow.

I need more time off. Work is certainly taking its toll on me, considering we are short-staffed and doubly busy. I want to do my new work, but the old work has to take priority.

I am also in a quandry over a class. I am terribly excited that I got accepted and to work with this person would be so good for me. Yet, it's more money and time that I don't really have. Although, I think we all have more time than we realize. If I put my heart into it, I would have all the time I needed to get the work done for class, the wedding and work.

I feel like I owe P a dinner out or a romantic getaway. I can't afford to do that now, but maybe that really is what the honeymoon is about. Being able to just be around that person again. We've been so busy lately that I wish I could stop the madness for a moment. Anxiety fills all holes. The worry about not getting things done is in the space between getting other things done.

I love listening to P do tech support for my Grandma. "No, no, the mouse, yes, the mouse, put that over the icon that looks like a computer..." I think she really knows what she's doing but loves talking to P.

april first

I left all the other worlds behind, hopefully extricating myself from the old ways.

Several things that I hope to write about in this is: books, bookstore angst, writing, gardening, cooking and homelife with the boy and the cats.

April is National Poetry Month and so we are celebrating with lots of audio books and recordings of poetry. Poetry Speaks has recordings of Tennyson and Whitman and we are ordering Weary Blues, which is Langston Hughes reading to Charles Mingus. I highly recommend it.

Tonight I address invitations, think more on my recommendations and try to get over my frustrating day of work.

Right now, most important, the red sox are playing their first real game of the season. They are losing, which is upsetting, but hey, baseball is upon us and I am drinking beer and relaxing.
