short & sweet today
not much to talk about. lots of work & a lot of catching up to do. been hiding under a mental rock for the past few weeks & i let lots of stuff slide. now i need to play catch-up & make amends where needed.

if you are one of the people i have ignored, offended, or upset by my mental blank the past few weeks i am very sorry. it is not personal, just needed to pull in for a while.

mea culpa.

i�ll try not to be such an emotional & social putz, ok?

spent most of last night & this morning catching up on emails & phone calls. still have a batch to get through, but i�m starting to make some headway on it. taking tonight to just relax & hide at the coffeehouse. perhaps find a card game or just go for a quiet drive.

my head has been on warp(ed) drive for the past month & it is wearing me out. feel like i can�t get a break. starting the seesaw ride again & i can�t say i�m happy about it. hoping to break the cycle before i head to Chicago in 27 days. (i can�t believe that nationals are only 27 days away. aaarrrggghhh!!)

guess all i�m hoping for right now is some calm. hoping that life will smooth itself out a bit. i know that calm is not as exciting as interesting, but the phrase may you live in interesting times was meant as a curse, not as a goodwill wish.

here is to quiet happiness.
here is to joy & peace & all the little miracles in life. may they not pass unnoticed.

hope you all have a good night.
i�ll try to be more interesting tomorrow.

be well.
