lets start with this�
I NEED YOUR INPUT!!

i am putting together a chapbook of stuff from my diaryland entries for nationals. there are some poems that i�m going to use (ie: mapmaker�s lament) but i�m looking for suggestions on what else from here i should put in.

this is where you come in�

what poems, entries, rants, etc should i use? i�ll take any & all ideas. i want to start laying it out early next week so that it is ready for the 27th, so the sooner the better. if you know the date/URL of the entry all the better. (titles are good, but i tend to reuse titles) i am also looking for suggestions for a book title (the two i�m leaning toward now are �follow the bouncing bill� & �be well�) just drop your ideas in my notes page or email me at [email protected] . there could be a free chapbook in it for you. thanks.

started the day in a rush of ohmyGod weoverslept & we�rereallylate pure panic. the rest of the morning has been much calmer. trying to get stuff done so that i can sneak out of here early today. been fighting a headache all morning & would like to nip it in the bud. also just feeling the need to deal with the afternoon without rushing around like a ferret with ADD. i hate having to rush to get things done, would rather just take my time & not stress over it.

feeling restless today. just can�t sit in the lab all afternoon, need to be behind the wheel moving. i have errands to run & i think i�ll just take the long way around the city, play some music & enjoy the drive as something other than getting from point A to point B.

there are times i feel guilty about do this, but i also need to take care of me. i think i spend too much time worrying about everything else & not enough time just looking out for my own needs & perhaps that is part of where my troubles come from. i always tell people that you can�t give to others what you don�t have yourself. you can�t give love unless you have love to give, you can�t be strong for others unless you are strong for yourself. i think i need to listen to my own advice more & start caring for myself in a more concrete & consistent way.

or perhaps i just need an afternoon off.

anyway, i need to finish up here or i�ll never get my running done. if i get any more introspective i�ll never need to get another x-ray. hope you all have a good evening. more later.

be well.
