Don't you love what is intangible



started the day at bodypump with JH, took a 4 hr nap, went biking to sausalito (and beyond) and back with Mindy and Alyson, then onto City Church for Maundy Thursday service. so great. Then 6 of us to plutos for some salads. Jenny, Anna, JH, Diana, Alyson, and me telling hospital stories. The extremes of nursing. I love and hate it. Praise and taking crap. telling about my awful monday. acting out precautions and telling our grossest and most wacky tales. I talk too much. I love my friends:) Saw several people at City Church it had been too long. CG, EH, sweet A and sad news. Tomorrow me and Anna go to Kinky. YESSSSS. Sat Char gets in:) comment on funny, sanguine, southern hospitality.

so i muffle my screams on an oxnard beach full of fevered dreams that scare you sober

missed planes and taken trains; dirty ditches and graduations. mom so enthused that she jumped for joy on this rooftop we stood upon as they raised a new flag next to the other two. the fam was there. she turned into a balding middle-aged black man and accidentally leapt off the roof. i wasn't sure if she was OK but my heart stopped and i awoke.

PLAYAAA!!!!



<- those are my dawgs



Monday night was SO fun-- terrible day then such fun with friends (lots of comfort and praise from coworkers since then)-- hilarious movie, chatting, singing, hanging, walking-- green scrub top and SO exhausted, "hey you need a ride" pick up from work-- joking, laughing, feeling good hanging with friends at a film festival on a Monday night after work (b/t shifts) was SO good for the soul-- fighting tiredness by being active, otherwise I'll be depressed like all I do is work-- t saying that's great-- I just frickin think my friends are great-- we sorely missed Jung hEMO, destroyer of hope--- even holidays have taken on a new flavor-- maybe for the 1st year ever i haven't mourned holidays far from home-- not till 5 min ago opening an easter gift from a pt did it occur to me the beall festivities I'd be missing-- I'm thinking about lunch for 14 in the mission, the guys driving our carpool from church, char and erik coming along. maundy thursday service with friends after a bike ride with mindy and alyson. char coming in town. missy was just here. life has changed so much. i used to cry from homesickness; then i found the CG family in SF and my tears evaporated in the fun of these super friends. rock band last fri. karaoke, weddings, this gorgeous city, broomball, the wildflower, the nike-half, and the promise of so much more fun to have.
