it’s really kind of funny, if you look at it that way. less than eight hours ago, i was talking to a friend and so excited about finally making it to seattle. then the landing pad disappeared and cried my eyes out, but eventually swallowed my pride and called my daughter and thank the stars, she said, ‘yes’… so i finally could sleep. two hours later, she called and said, ‘no’. some miracle of physiology set me to numb and i managed to sleep anyway.
but now it is morning.
i called a friend in dallas, but it is 6:30 there and they grumped at me and said ‘call back later’. this, once i shut up long enough to hear a response after ‘hello?’.
i called a friend in california (work#) just to let them know what was happening and that i wasn’t quite sure where i am going but wherever it is, i’m heading there today.
i thought briefly about the friend who, last night, offered a corner in her one bedroom apartment. so much of me wants to just take it… but that’s hardly workable, fair, or anything deserved by my friend.
there is one very slim possibility that is also in atlanta. it is very temporary, but it would (perhaps) be workable. i am simply waiting until i know them awake to inquire (not wanting to repeat the mistake of dallas).
i guess i’ll shower and finish packing but for the computer. not sure when the utilities go off… sometime today.
if nothing follows here, it’s because i’m offline. more when i can. leave a light on for me.
