it's has been 7+ months of turmoil. and the end is on the horizon.
my parents have graciously offered to help me drive all my stuff out to san francisco. we will have a truck, my car, my dog, and 5 different books on tape to get us the 18 hours it takes to get from vail to san francisco. (so weird. my mom and i did the reverse drive in july 2001 in a little blue honda civic. )
i will move into my new apartment on thursday night. and then have a second interview with my dream job on friday morning. my dream job? working with teenage girls who've been arrested for or want to get out of prostitution. please keep your fingers crossed for me.
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

Sounds like a plan Meggins!
I'll be in SF on Thursday (it's a 24 hour trip I discovered I had to go on just this past Wed) and my red eye doesn't leave till 10 I think so I can be in the city till 8 - 8:30 or so. Maybe we can connect? Send me your cell and I"ll give a call if I can swing out by you before my flight.

Hey there: We'll be with you all every mile of the way and groaning a lot as you move in. Hope that helps. Tickled to think you have the second interview in such a timely way. I should think they'd LOVE you as we all do. Best luck, lovey-pie.

another reason why I am glad you are my friend: your idea of a "dream job." god bless social workers.
