getting through.

yes, still tired, but hoping the remedy from the naturopath will kick in this weekend and give me some respite. besides that, i got into work this morning and found a $135 phone bill on my desk from the first days after darren was arrested (he called me about 8 times on my work phone) – which brings my total in phone bills over 2 months up to about $800. it feels a bit oppressive, this private us phone system we are forced to use which charges me $20 per 15 minutes of conversation. what is this – a radiophone or sattelite uplink?

*sigh*

but here it is friday and four days in a row of sun. spent last night with friends who gave me two beautiful books of their own making, drank wine and ate chocolate. when i finally did go to sleep, it was a good one, just not long enough. had i not had to come to work this morning i think i might have even slept in! although jon and alison from the ffa are coming tonight to stay, i am plotting an early bedtime to take advantage of this state of near-lunatic exhaustion.

have booked spartacus books for the evening of march 10th to give a presentation on darren and the green scare trial. i have no idea quite what that will look like, but i have a month to put something together and make it interesting. mostly people want to know what is going on, or have observations to make – it feels like a good time to bring people into one place to process and get up to date. david and i are making plans to possibly do some more presentations early this summer. i also posted a new support update at freedarren.org today though there is little new to say.

i leave sunday for 6 days at harrison for union training, which i’m not looking forward to all that much except having access to hotsprings and not having to come into the office every day. my schedule right now is making me a little heady between work, union, darren and social life – there is a lot going on. i do prefer busy to blank however, particularly during times of acute stress.

looking foward to four o’clock today – time to get out of the city!
