I am totally a sub-heading person too. I've been living without sub-headings since June 1. It's been a lot of resuscitative fun. Maybe I was drowning. So, inspired by refugees of all sorts:

WORK the teaching job that paid half but was more energizing has ended. The teaching job that paid twice as much for the same work has doubled! -- but I can't take January and February off any more. Rewriting course now.

RELATIONSHIP This has been very interesting and deserves its own post one of these days. I will be in his province (and in his teeny-tiny apartment) for three more weeks. Then I'll leave and then come back. It's pretty nice. ("But have a real relationship with a person that goes on for years -- that's completely unpredictable. Then, you've cut off all your ties to the land, and you're sailing into the unknown, into uncharted seas." (from My Dinner with Andre)

FRIENDS oh dear lovely friends. I miss you all, the ones back home and the ones out here too. I'll try to make contact today.

BUDGET Every couple of days, I prod the ex-spousal-unit to SIGN the damn separation agreement which he initiated a year ago. Then I can budget. Meanwhile, it will be fine. It will be fine.

OH, YEAH, the EX last week he said this: "It was pretty stupid what I did." Yes, yes it was. At least now that you realize it, we occupy the same cognitive universe.

WRITING so much that I need to do -- especially the one-woman show... only a year away!

EXERCISE I just bought a bike to ride here in Vancouver. The way to the bf's heart is through the forest, so there's been lots of hiking and biking, kayaking - and next week, canoeing and cannoodling.

FAMILY miss 'em, but they're surviving without me. Meanwhile, I discovered a rather close NEW cousin living a few blocks from here. And he's a blues musician. I thought I more-or-less knew them all - but he's the missing one. His father and my mother and father were all FIRST COUSINS. so relatively close. When we met, he brought a huge photo album -- and on page 2 were a bunch of pictures of my siblings and me as little children that my mother had sent his grandfather... wow wow wow. !!! so cool.

So thanks refugee for the headings. There are more and wackier headings, but these will do.

Now - oh life.
