Regrouping...........

I guess my overwhelment is starting to show. Today, as I am talking (complaining) to my boss about this project we're starting, she looked at me and said, "maybe next week we can throw a pity party for ourselves".
I took this as a cue that my attitude was less that "can do" in her eyes.
So, I am going to try to get myself under control. I did manage to fax off phase 1 of 100,000 of this thing today, so it's a start.

Perfectly timed, I got an e-mail today from my very dear friend who has moved out of town and I have not seen in about a year. He put out an invite to come see him tomorrow and go to a blues/bar-b-q festival. He lives in Stevenson, Wa. This is perfect. A nice long drive up the gorge tomorrow will do me some good. Seeing him will do me even better. I miss him. A day out of the city and spent with a good friend is always refreshing. Eating some bar.b.qued swine and listening to blues never hurt anybody either.

I think the times spent with old friends is what somehow keeps us sane and reminds us that there are pieces of life that are nice. Not everything is a "project" or a "to do list".
Sometimes the universe helps me out and reminds me of that.
