Finishing up some papers.
Tried to make the WNYC live stream work
Of course it didn't
But the introduction did
"WNYC live audio is supported by ..."
A message with a 13 seconds blissful duration
My heart skipped a beat and if my jaw hadn't dropped, I would have smiled '
But, yea that was all that worked.

and here's the contrast. here's the other side of "how are you doing" The part that doesn't have to do with me being anxious to reintroduce things that I love back into my life.

We had a ceremony today that included the staff
Last night was sans staff
Sid talked about Cheche living here and how great that is. on and on
I had to pee and left without bothering to ask him why she isn't living here anymore
I was told last week anyway, No room. New worker. She's in the village.
I'm giving Roukema money for her
Roukema wiped away my tears
Jyamma leaned next to me and said "Going? Bedda bedda, Kate"
.I'm choking.


There is an itch.. the "predictably metaphorical in this context" kind of itch..
And it makes my fingers work a little harder on the key board
My heels pound on the earth with more purpose
I'm just in a state of "go"
Get ready or you'll get left behind, Kate.
