honestly, i don't feel like writing. that's probably not a secret as it's been almost a month. feeling kinda bummed out lately. i feel old - my body doesn't work the way i want it to & all the hard work i did to improve my flexibility & strength has gone to hell since the shoulder injury. turns out i may have a tear after all as it's really not improving much. i'm missing having close friends here & haven't made much effort to improve that situation... & i had to go to work for a meeting yesterday morning, which really annoys me. i really need the weekend for myself. no work.

on the upside, it's a gorgeous day here. d & i walked down to the farmers market this morning before he went to work. i'll probably head over to the garden shorty to do a little work in the dirt.

work's been going pretty well. i've recruited 6 people - 2 to go. it's been an interesting experience. i have a million & one ideas about training the new folks. now i just need to settle down & turn some of the 'crazy' ideas into reality. huh... not sure how to do that part, but i assume i'll figure it out somehow.

i had a meeting this week w/ a guy from morgan state's architecture dept. i really need to check it out cuz schooling's the next step, i think.

also, need to find me a bike. maybe for d's birthday, i can get a bike. just kidding. for his b'day last year, we got a nice backpack - that i carry to work with me every day & he's pretty much never used... happy b'day to d!
