my brain is mush

what I've done over the course of the past 10 days, in no particular order:

  • saw the doctor twice, once for allergies and horrible hives, and once for my annual exam
  • discovered that DH was unsuccessful in negotiating with the bank, and we had one week to remove our possessions from the house before foreclosure
  • interviewed for two jobs
  • dined with Mom at Tavolino
  • shared a sushi boat with Mom and Mandy at Ichiban
  • enjoyed sandwiches and sides at Buffalo Bistro, again with Mandy and Mom
  • ate surf and turf at Canyon's Crown with Mom and Jack
  • set up, coordinated and celebrated, and tore down Mother's Day Tea at the preschool
  • participated in the Schumaker Elementary School Spring Craft and Rummage Sale
  • went to handbell rehearsal
  • rung handbells with the choir at the church service on Sunday
  • hosted a playdate with one of Jack's friends
  • took 3 days off work
  • took Jack to piano lessons twice
  • took Jack to choir practice
  • weathered a conflict with my boss
  • cleared the house of possessions (some of which I sold at the rummage sale; some of which I absorbed into my apartment; DH put some in storage and moved some into his new digs)
  • did what I could to help my sister deal with her anxiety issues
  • spent an afternoon swimming, watching Pirates, and looking for BBs with my nephew Brazey
  • removed all personal possessions from my storage closet so Comcast could install new wiring
  • cried
  • slept
  • ran a mile at a pace of 7.4 miles an hour

I'm tired. Tonight I escape for a few hours with my bff to Tanque Verde Ranch. I hope we swim, sit in the spa, talk and talk, and sleep. And I might cry. I'm thinking I see the light at the end of the tunnel, but that might be just the glimmer of false hope.

Girl Asleep

Congratulations, Rosemary Myers! If Miyazaki had made Napoleon Dynamite and set it in Disco Australia it couldn't have been better than your movie.

back to nature

It's been a long time since I hiked, alone or with friends. My bestie from childhood, Ana, has begun exploring trails around Tucson. Today I joined her for a 6 mile hike starting at the Richard Genser Starr Pass trailhead in Tucson Mountain Park. I plan to join her for as many Sunday mornings as I can manage. We've been friends since second grade. That's three decades plus. I'm totally rockin' the Brett Michaels vibe. Those must be Ana's favorite ratty shorts. She's had them forever. Our hiking companion, Chel, who Ana knows from high school. saguaros and chollas, oh my
