I'm back. It was amazing. And hard. Really really really hard. And thinky. And possibly life changing in some ways. And Fun. There were good friends and good food and beer and wine and conversation and horses to counterbalance the tough stuff. And as many questions as answers. But I am SOOO glad I went.
And now, to reorganize my desk, which was moved while I was gone.
More on work and plans related to it later. Now, remembered bliss. :D.

Dear Friends-list,
Would one of you please head to Starbucks and pick me up a venti soy mocha, no whip. It's all paid for, as there is coupon there under my name as the last one they served me was clearly tainted with something unpleasant and I called to complain.
I simply cannot justify leaving work at this time, but would like my mocha.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

You have all irreparably affected me. I just wrote the following in an IM to my BOSS:
"you've got some time to think about Big!Fun! project." *shame*
Also, I delivered a last minute project on time, and it was done well and with panache and style. And I didn't get all stressed about it. Go. team. me!
Dad's surgery has been confirmed for tomorrow morning, first thing. He has to be at the hospital at 6AM. It's nice to be moving ahead (I think - it's also scary) and this delay has been good, as we are all a little more ready. The first date scheduled was So. Fast. With the delays, we've all had some time to get used to the idea and to get stuff in order. And Dad has had some time to rest and build his health. But now it's time, as he is uncomfortable A LOT of the time. It's major surgery, but hopefully all will go well (he's got a GREAT medical team!) and he wil get some real relief and health back when he recovers. I just need to keep reminding myself that he's a fighter!
and JJ was all sweet and gave me lovely snuggles before work this morning. I left early, because I needed to get Rush!Project! done, and it was dawn. The morning star (Venus, isn't it actually?) hung in the East in a beautiful indigo sky, and the waning moon hung in the west, and JJ gave me snuffles and blows.
And driving in 6 (!) deer went across the road in front of me and ran up the hill. It was beautiful. I am so blessed to live here.
