thank god. thank god. thank god. it is friday. it was a very long week, though not as long as last week.
announced layoffs on monday. there were 4.
announced wage freeze today.
spent one day this week in tacoma, will spend 2 days next week. have taken on more assisting with a large project that i think will take about a year. i went in 2 hours late today. that extra rest helped a lot with my headache and stress level. oh, i never said i did have a UTI, a chronic low grade one that on;y showed up on culture. i took cipro for a week. may still see a urologist depending on how the chronic inflammation of the bladder wall progresses.

but it is the weekend. i have books. i have watercolors and acrylics. i have dinner plans tomorrow. i have yarn. i might go to the used books store tomorrow. my $650 surgery bill arrived today and i am so grateful i was able to set the money aside for it. and that i have good insurance because it could have been so much more. and that the surgery really helped.

and i have a job. and a nice place to live. that is generally warm and close to lots of things so i can walk everywhere and do not need to own and maintain a car. i am fortunate in many ways. i hope i can work on feeling more grounded. work has kind of taken over my mind lately, and it does not help with living-the-creative-life.

oh, i have to say, i love starbuck's black tea lattes. i have almost given up coffee on their behalf.
