Nurse surprising me yesterday, still surprises me.  Seeing her in the Oliver’s parking lot and laughing with me to the Tavern, then coming back here to relax a little.  Missing her and my thoughts are disrupted further, and more intensely.  Find a distraction. Nothing against her, certainly no criticism, but to survive…

Of course at the new telecom there will be training, and instruction, some cultural orientation I’m sure…. But I need to have my thesis set.  Who I am when I walk in, when I arrive.

Nurse tells me she brought the copy of Magical Thinking with her to work.  Starting a new doc here— Shit, I have to start getting Henry ready.  Goddamnit…

The new doc, the book.  Or maybe, use the laptop.  NO, follow through with what you proposed and don’t overthink….

NEW STORY—

Days before it starts…. Of course there are nerves, and I think about how old I am and what I could have done different.  But, MOOT.  Don’t, Mike… seriously.  Don’t even start down that Road.
