Last night Robin and I were discussing "Post Secrets"...the site where people have sent postcards to this guy with their deepest secrets on them. In a way, I'm impressed, I wish it was around years and years ago, I would have exploded his mail box. So we were talking about some of the things people have sent in, and I commented that some of it is so dark, that I can somewhat relate, but only if I journey back in time to when I was a very young and rather darkened teenager. Whew. What we were talking about is how some of it actually is a little offending (because it's not what we WANT to be made aware of) but very moving just the same. That was about it, and by then I was on my 3rd Stella Artois, and we all know about the third beer. no matter what kind you're drinking.
so. for the last three weeks I've been in or around Woodruff. traumatizing I might add. My grandmother is confined to Woodruff Manor for rehabilitation, so I had to go because no one else would or could go. I'd like to think that in a pinch I can be an okay granddaughter...and I officially won the martyr award for this one (haha) Spending THREE weeks in Woodruff for my grandmother, actually having to ENTER the town on a daily basis, and get out of my car, and walk into a building, in Woodruff. That is intense. Anyway, most of my time was spent at our house, unpacking boxes moved from my moms house in Columbus, and cleaning up...or trying to. That house is large and in charge when it comes to spider webs and dust. Lauren graciously helped me for an entire day AND housed me on several occasions in her magazine worthy residence. Talk about a friend! She is a huge help!
Now that I'm back, there is a relief effort going on to rid me of this home-boundness. The esteemed Dr.Vanman at GSU kindly reserved a part time 2month job for me...it sounds like I'm taking over all the work that the grad students normally do. Which is an honor to have him call me about the job. So my Chrismas is out, but I HAVE SOMETHING TO DO!!! (insert Hallelujah Chorus here)
well, I hope everyone is having a great day. It's super cool here...coat and hat and scarf and mittens
