Getting better...

Just found out that my "paid" time ends Monday. 4/1, so, I'm better enough to get back to work. Gotta admit, I've never been so sick in my life. For someone who is fiercely independent, I felt very vulnerable for a little while there. Glad to be back.

I hope that this spring finds everyone healthier (maybe wealthier?) and possibly even wiser.

Best wishes to all.

(Sara, thanks for the pics. Love 'em.)

Make Me @ Oakland Museum





I think these are great pictures, the most professional I have seen of Make Me that is. This was a huge show I guess. Reopening of the Oakland museum. They were also mentioned in an article about the grand reopening in the Oakland Express. Big deal for the band!

HAPPY EASTER, HAPPY SPRING!

What a beautiful day here on the east coast (for us anyway). The sun is out & the sky is blue, the winds have settled down and everyone is starting to feel better. Although it is a fairly casual Easter for us, I am really enjoying the day. No pressure, my expectations were so low, that everything that was accomplished is a bonus! Feeling the warmth from the sun and having a few windows open for fresh air really set a tone of promise and growth for me. Looking around at a reasonable clean room just adds to my inner feeling of contentment. My son is happy and the day is already half over, so I could care less if I do nothing else today but hang & read the Sunday paper, my day is already complete. So I guess my Easter Holiday has been successful with a promise of new beginnings and accomplished pasts. I hope everyone enjoys a feeling of well being this spring, even if it's just for one day.

Love to all,

Colleen

Sick,sick, sickness everywhere!

The household at West Elm St. has been hit 100%.
I am still trying to get to the otherside of my Flu?, bronchitis? black plague? so I can maybe get back to work on fixing this whole pinched nerve/forearm injury.
I have actually been out of work for over 6 weeks!!!
Thank goodness, I'm still covered using up all my sick days and now vacation days (boo).

I have NEVER been so sick in my whole life.
I wracked up 50$ in "On-Demand" movies for last month. It was worth it.
Try to see "Martian Child", it is becoming a great favorite of mine.

Thank goodness fluffy boy Simon is so easy-going because he seems perfectly content to just keep an eye on me and not be too demanding for playtime.

Miss you all.
Looking forward to sending good news, funny stuff and pics SOON I hope!

Love, K8

ssssooooooo

Again where is everyone? I Know your all sick but how much effort does it take to type?! seriously!


So everything is going OK out here in sunny so cal ;) I am working my but off at this new job, very different, very difficult. They are saying they want to keep me and even "extremely lucky to have got me" but I don't know if the high stress and difficulty level is worth it. It just property management you know, nothing really very important to me.


Still hoping to get into some night classes by summer sessions maybe even some accelerated classes so I can hurry up and get on to my BA for God sakes! Times ticking..........


Summer is still getting used to this place. She loves being in my room, but hates the other animals so she really doesn't come out. I am very surprised at how antisocial she is being. But shes happy and playful when the door is closed and its just me and her. Oh well she'll get over it, I hope.


well that's all for now, oh yeah and it was clear blue sky's 80 and breezy today, LOVE IT! Flip flops and tank tops already! Sorry guys.....stay warm :)~
