The countdown begins but life is still groovy
Tuesday, July 17th, 2007As you know, my blog is going to move. Thanks to a great friend, who will remain nameless until I get her permission to use it, I’ll move with relative ease.
In the meantime, I’d like to tell you that my Pollyanna deal is going pretty well. Just the other day, after only two hours of sleep, I made it to work and had a laugh a minute with my co-worker Tiffany. She’s younger, but she’s got a good head on her shoulders and she’s a peach. Smart young lady as well. She kept my energy level up, which was much needed. Even my iced coffee gave me the monkey nerves.
Never heard of the monkey nerves? Well, it’s a combination of paranoia and a case of the giggles. Add a touch of being completely slap happy and you’ve got the monkey nerves. At first, you think you can manage, but sooner or later, you just want to slap yourself sane.
If you have someone who is relatively sane near you and they are compassionate, it’s a good thing.
Ah, in other news, I’m reading this book about Cleopatra. It’s fiction and written as her memoir, and I’m really enjoying it, thankfully.
See that? Thankful. Thankful I have a book to read, thankful I CAN read and finally, thankful that I am enjoying it. It’s compelling but I only read it when I take the subway to work so I’m chomping at the bit to read more. I’m currently on the ‘third scroll’ which is about half way through it. The writer seems to have done her research, so I’m instantly transported to Alexandria…well, right now Rome, but still. It’s compelling.
I love history and seem to gravitate towards stories about strong women. Gives me hope.
Sorry that I haven’t had much to report these days. I’ve been trying to work on my pretzel book. I have a deadline. DEADLINE.
Oy vey.
Hope you are all well and trying out the Pollyanna Challenge. It’s getting easier every day.
Isn’t it? WELL, ISN’T IT?
heh. that laughed me.
