3 days into September

I am waiting to hear about a potential job transfer. I have been waiting since July. My 'career' as a unit clerk is gettting way too old for me. I go into work with intentions of being content in whatever happens...but when I step through the door, my buttons are pushed as I glance around at the chaos, disoragnization, bustling staff...I like who I work with, but I am over nights & the work. Fatigued with following someone. I desire open & close-my mess to contend with. So I wait to hear about this transfer. I jogged today maybe 6 miles. That was all that I had in me. I was tired. I need to lose about 10 pounds. That would be great. It may take months to do this. Kevin left me a sweet note on my car when I was at the gym. He is just great. I remember this shot from our 1st Bonnaroo (2 weeks into dating)...I do believe that we were @ Radiohead.

Long time, No Write

It is Labor Day. It is the morning that Hurricane Gustav is slapping the Gulf coast. After 2 quiet years, the hurricane waters have begun stirring. India is experiencing flooding. China quivered with another earthquake on the same fault line. The weather reminds me that life is unpredictable. In the humdrum of daily activity, reality keeps twisting & turning. Kevin & I have been married for 9 months. I have been the night owl on the night shift for the same time. My body has changed as 10 pounds have been added because my exercising comes in waves, but my eating remains steady & excessive at times. Change. If I could I would. That's what I believe...if I would I could change. But I can. But when? So take it day by day. What did I hear a few days ago? There would be no mountains if there were no valleys.
