Today?
Friendly Folk--who reach out, earnestly, for exchange. More Friendly Folk--who visit to catch up over the week and celebrate new jobs. Even more friendly folk--who share their loved ones, and food. And then an evening of friendly folk--who share food, laughter and startled yips.
It is good to have a day off.

New Rhythm, Part I
--Alarm -- may or may not wake up
---pet Ichabad until I crawl out of bed
---catch the bus
---bow to passing cars
---short break
---play with old books
---evening sorties
REPEAT
I haven't decided yet how sustainable this new rhythm is. I feel (more than) a tadge overwhelmed. Still, I think the limited free time is helping me to prioritize needs. And, certainly, the money from nearly doubling my work week will take some of the pressure off re: financial goals.
Which, really, I suppose is an important point. This partic New Rhythm is not meant to be sustainable. It is meant to help me reach particular financial and personal goals. I don't mean to keep this up more than 3-6 months.

Rachel Brice & other Balancing Acts
In "other Balancing Acts," working these particular two jobs is going to have to mean getting to bed earlier and ****eating a lot more food,**** and eating at more regular intervals. Otherwise, my energy and concentration are absolutely sapped by midday. Fun exploration adventures learning learnin'

Learning about Lawyering
This "playing Abe" gig could turn out to be more meaningful than I expected.
Lawyer Fella: So, tell me more about this community development stuff.
Merinmel: *blah blah blah*
Lawyer Fella: Merinmel, you've chosen a very interesting firm to wave signs for.
Lawyer Fella then goes on to explain what basically amounts to "Sueing for Social Justice."
I am hesitantly skeptical, but intrigued.
