Folia 3 (Green) 2007

This morning I freaked out when I found that, in order for my car to pass state inspection, I must have repair work done that could cost over $1000. I raged and groaned and gnashed my teeth. But when I got to school I mentioned the situation, and one of my students gave me the name of an inexpensive repair shop that also does inspections.

The raging groaning and gnashing is MUCH more enjoyable when followed by a positive resolution.

Silence

Funny how you can focus so much on the silence of others that you forget that you haven't been in touch with them. Sometimes you get angry, other times you feel hurt. Maybe you're really wrapped up in work, or there's just a shit-load of busywork that needs to be done. But the calls and e-mails stop going out, and they stop coming in too. And it takes a while to recognize that you feel lonely.
