Back in Boston
Oct. 28th, 2007 09:12 pmI walked off the plane yesterday morning filled with focus and determination, and I followed through on it -- I took a nap on the couch, a GOOD nap on the couch, a long, focused, intentional nap on the couch, a several-iteration nap preceded by a bagel and attended by cats. The couch finally let me go at, oh, about 3:30 PM, when I considered my duty done.
There's a lot I didn't write about in California, like flying in a two-person airplane for the first time (with Chia's husband, who's a licensed pilot of small aircraft but not licensed to do loops or corkscrews, alas), and knitting with a bunch of strangers in a bubble-tea place with great bubble tea and terrible food. Lifting weights all alone in a super old school gym, for free, while the owner ripped up the carpet all around me. Losing my favorite hoodie somewhere on the Zillian campus, retaliating by getting a new hoodie from the employee store (it's 55% hemp). Discovering the first SF novel that has really impressed me in a long time, reading it slowly to make it last through the second week.
I start work in our Boston office tomorrow, the holidays have sneaked up on me and I have to figure out what a "normal week" is going to look like now. Time to... hmm... time to write a bunch more to-do lists.
