It’s been way too long since I updated last. I’ve been juggling work, real life, work, real life, work, real life blah blah blah.
Work is busy, which is good.
Real life has been filled with a lot of catch-up. I decided I needed some balance so I started forcing myself NOT to work on the weekends which resulted in much-needed yard work. Entry into one my front perennial bed has long been forbidden to anyone but me. As a result, three years of overgrowth had to be removed (I got stalled by the whole finish law school, take the bar exam, start a law practice thing). Then I decided to be a sport and help J with the vegetable garden for the first time in years.
So the yard is somewhat under control. Wish I could say the same for the laundry.
Today I refused to go anywhere (namely the office) until I imported two Michael Jackson CDs into my iPod. Priorities. I never would have guessed that his sudden death would hit me so hard (as in you’d think I knew him kind of hard). It’s very similar to the shock I felt when Diana died. Very, very strange and call me a sage, but I’m guessing the autopsy results when they are released will be pretty tragic.
So there. I made a newsly little post finally. It took a major bout of insomnia to do it, but done and done.

Wunnerful! Nothing like dirt under your fingernails and weeds in your nose to bring you back to Earth.
I think it’s harder to get OUT of the grad school/high intensity profession wheel from time to time than it was to get and keep it spinning. I mean, even cleaning the damned fish tank is hard for me, considering that was 20 minutes where I might have found two more articles for my dissertation or graded some papers…
Glad to see you reconnecting a little more all the time.
Thank you for your prompt customer service resonse… ;p
