Oh home.

Ten days away from home in union meetings and training, one new indictment with three new charges, five days of Darren locked in the hole, and news of one friend with cancer. Home never felt like where I needed to be more than it does right this minute. In fact, I was supposed to go to work today, but after everything I took a mental health day in order to catch up on support work and have a little breather.

Updated Darren’s support site today with the new indictments and information about the case. Spoke last night and realized that both of us get a bit nuts when we don’t talk for so many days in a row – unfortunately there is little we can do about it right now with my schedule and the fact he is being transferred all over the place for arraignments etc. It’s just survival at this point, keeping the head down and trying to hold together so we can get through. My burned out state is not helping me keep perspective at all these days.

So glad to be home though, I feel a lot less raw here than in the city, the energy is so much cleaner.
