The last two months are an absolute blur. Between my sister's accident and recovery and the new job, I have been unable to write. I am just praying she gets better soon.
I feel like I need to recharge my batteries. I spent today organizing. My bathroom is finally renovated and it was great to be able to set it up. I no longer walk by it grimacing. I waited seven years to do it since it was not the top priority with everything else that I had to take care of. It's now complete and I smile when I walk by.
It's always amazing to me that someone can transform a part of the house and make it look so great. Most of the work I do does not have tangible results that I can see.
Then, there was the garage where the ugly cupboards were ripped out and I sat and sorted through boxes of stuff. There were two that had been closed since I moved here in August 2003 and I was reunited with some of my books from my teenage days. And, papers from when I was negotiating my divorce that brought back memories of foolish times. It's amazing how much stuff I saved and how full my recycling bin is today. I hope I can get it down the driveway tomorrow :-)
I found a paper I wrote in 1998 and it's amazing how much has changed as a result of devices, platforms and connectivity. But people and human behavior have stayed absolutely the same. Nothing seems to really change how people behave.
