for the last 4 hours, i have been trying to turn on my laptop. ugh. i cannot wait until august.
i am exhausted. last night was the volunteer bbq at work and while it was the low key event i had hoped, it did involve a lot of last minute this and that and driving here and there. there were tikki torches and brightly colored pinwheels and cheap beer (i'm not sure why) - all the makings of my kind of party. rather than my backyard, i hosted the event in the backyard of the jcc. rather than my friends, i hosted a party for big brothers and sisters (but in the end, like all good friends do - mine showed up...with a special surprise showing from my BROWN friend). i was happy with the night, and i am glad that it is over.
i spent 50 minutes today at A&E's house. they are already on the cape (we are joining them tomorrow) but they forgot a few things and i went over to dig through drawers and one scary basement to find the necessities. it's just been a very busy few days (weeks) and i'm ready to sit on the beach and do nothing.
i interviewed a young woman (who as quite tall) for my job today. i liked her...and that made me feel like i could take a deep breath.
tim russert died. it makes me feel sad. i often spend my sunday mornings with him and my coffee. ABN is usually still asleep, or on his computer, so he doesn't understand. i know there is a difference between what i am feeling and what real grief feels like - but at the same time, change, especially unexpected change, makes me feel uneasy in general. and in this case, i can't help but worry about the people i care about.
while i couldn't get my computer to turn on i packed for this weekend. i currently have 8 reusable grocery bags of full of bathing suits, big shirts, sheets, towels, food and wine. i am a horrible packer. i break out in hives, and spend hours sitting on the couch staring off into space. it is sure to be a great weekend.
