hello thursday night

Just thought I'd pop in and write. I dont have much to write about. Work is going as well as work can... as to say I like my job and the people I work with but despise the agency I work for. I am stuck at the slow moving monster machine known as county until august to pay back a stipend. Therefore I have begun to repeat 'until august' with my morning coffee. I accompanied one of my most needed clients, an older man who has been homeless for nine years in Long Beach due to schizophrenia, to his new apartment today and together we signed the lease. Good times. I know I am in the right place but each day I struggle to understand 'county'. If I could spend everyday out in the field just working and talking to people I would be so square unfortunately even when you wipe your ass at county you have to write a note. Therefore I have started not to wipe.

I went to san diego last weekend to visit jen and rob and get a piece of crazy monkey madness. This helped as the pictures will demonstrate...

Time with family always helps. This weekend looks to be good because I will not be working. I am going to help my folks transport a queen size bed to their guest room and take a trip to Costco for free samples and to pick up the printer my family gave me for my birthday. Thanks family!

I don't know, I think its that the road is calling. I watched the dvd of the road trip I took over the summer with my sis amy and I think it helped me understand something about myself. I am not a routine person, never have been. Waking at the same time leaves me tired and working monday through friday just doesn't seem to work for me. Often at work I take a break in the back alley surrounded by sky scrappers in downtown los angeles. I look up to see pieces of blue sky poke through the smog and buildings and wonder what the sky looks like in Arches or Pigeon Fordge. If I have any regret it's that I don't have more free time. When the weekend comes along I spend it here and two days doesn't offer one the freedom to really relax and sample life.

To more free time. However, I note I am blessed.
