      I am counting down the seconds until Mercury is out of Retrograde. 

    Since it has started:

•   Poison Ivy
•   Head cold
•   Trip to ER
•   Broken fancy computer
•   One lost phone
•   Three broken phones
•   Lost 1/2 dog harness (HTF does 1/2 dog harness disappear?)
•   Four checks in the mail, from two different institutions, snatched from                                              
   the ether to God knows where.
• One rejection from a major University for a REALLY stupid reason.

    I am not sure I can take anther seven days at this pace. 

    Despite all the chaos, I'm in a great mood :) Life is simple, sweet and happy. How liberating to realize my problems are superficial. 

    Rocky and I like Austin. His arthritis has improved greatly in just the week that we've been here. Our roommates are peaceful artists, musicians, and gardeners, and Geoff and I have many artistic endeavors on the horizon. Life is good.
