My Anti-Linear Brain
(apologies to Laura)

Not thinking too straight just now, so here are my impressions.

Wallpaper is a dirty job. Stressful. Can't say I like it. But the walls are looking good. Today I'll get to the long wall by the stairs.

Driving home last night under a lavender sky with dark purple clouds, I played "Big Gay Heart" by The Lemonheads ten times in a row. I love "repeat."

The VH1 show "Driven: NSYNC" was one of the highlights of my week. It just made me love them so much more.

Trish has an interview tomorrow for my old job, or one very similar to it at the same place.

My in-laws are back for a few days to help some more. Every time I thank them, they say, "This is what families are for." But I know that not everyone is lucky enough to have families who would help them like this. Or friends, either, for that matter. Trish worked with me here for two days from 8 AM to 5 PM. We were very productive, got a lot accomplished.

I have spoken to Marty every day since he's been gone. I miss him very much. But even worse is the mild hysteria that sweeps over me from time to time when I think about this chapter of our lives coming to a close. I got all choked up in Home Depot yesterday thinking about how not only wouldn't we be going there together, but we wouldn't even own a house anymore. Sheesh. I'll be glad when my life is all settled down again, and we're back together.

The house will be shown on Saturday at noon. Then there's an open house scheduled for Sunday. I had better get moving on this wallpaper.

That's all for now.
