And we keep wanting more

Thrown for a loop 

That's just how it goes. Have to keep making those lists. Have to keep jotting things down. Have to keep finding room in the day, in the week, in the month, for all the things I want to do. And let's not forget the free time I want to have to just sit and think, hmmmm, yes, I
want that too.

Meanwhile absorbed in the third chapter of Russell Shorto's The Island At The Centre of The World: The Untold Story of the Founding Of New York. It's just so gripping, like you're living in the story. And really happy about my new Tiger food container; what a way I've come from my third grade tupperware fwoop containing cold rice and equally cold fried chicken. Today, lunch was a pint of steaming hot corn and mushroom soup and a large slice of sourdough granary bread. Missed badminton today in exchange for two episodes from the 6th season of The West Wing; tried to make up with 50 minutes on the elliptical.

The first day. Yes, that went well enough. Got thrown for a major loop though. It's something unexpected and potentially jarring. I'm still trying to decide whether to get upset or majorly apprehensive. Remember serenity. Breathe, breathe, breathe...

Let's see what will happen first before flying off the handle. Just be like Kaylee and Coby: take it easy, day by day and find lots of reasons to laugh. Remember the way Kaylee starts every prayer when it's her turn: "Thank you for this day, and all the fun we had..."

Which is as it should be.
