From an email to A:

This week got away from me. Its rainy here, so its a perfect day to be holed up at Brunswick getting tons of paperwork done. I'll have a rare 3 full days at the house (Brunswick) this week - usually my days are split up with meetings or trainings or committee work all over town. Makes for big mileage reimbursement checks!

Do you have a bete noir? In my journaling lately I have been discovering that many of the situations that make me uncomfortable, and many of the t...

May 4, 2004

I’m at the dealership right now. I just was informed that the internet access will be removed from the two computers I sit at on Tuesday and Thursdays because someone has been abusing the privilege. I find that infuriating. I might consider quitting the dealership if that is the case. I can manage my money more tightly if I need to.

I wonder if this feeling is what used to prompt my anxiety attacks and used to make me need a cigarette and a drink. And what is also interesting is that I didn't work out today - I wonder if these things are related.

I did write back to A, and the message was much as recorded in the last entry. I did add this:

"Spring here is so lovely – everything is green and fresh. My tulips are coming up after all, despite most of their friends being eaten by the squirrels. I still have such vivid memories of spring at Mac – that’s when I remember spring being so very…spring-like with spring fevers and impatience and celebrations. Our deck is finished and it’s just wonderful – we’re going to grill out o...
