- Don’t stress out about misplacing/losing my debit card. With lack of sleep and new drugs and several frustrating factors worming their way into my otherwise sedate and calm life, I’m bound to lose more than a little plastic card along the way, especially when my wallet has barely recovered from the move back into my Texan life. I’ve narrowed down possible places I could’ve left it: the ATM, doctor’s office, the college, the university, Fadi’s restaurant, my office, my classroom, the faculty office, the copy room, the car, Starbucks in the basement of the Bank of American bldg. downtown, my home, or (perhaps worst of all) my wallet.
- Don’t cry out loud. Keep it inside; learn how to hide your feelings. (This Melissa Manchester moment was brought to you by the letter J and the number 3.)
- Drink strong coffee while having even stronger conversations with Jola and Stephen while enjoying the cool afternoon in San Francisco starting this afternoon until Sunday afternoon.
- Write that short bio my boss asked me for three weeks ago, and begin looking at the teaching schedule for the spring ’08 term.
- Accept the vajra when it strikes as it is always already striking yet again.
