ready for anything

so, after 16 or so hours of travel all told in the last two days, here i am in nyc. it's absolutely gross weather, but i'm still excited. it took me a while, though - my body does not respond well to planes. my theory is that no matter how i try to fool it, it knows somehow that it is not supposed to be that high up in the air going that fast. and also the cabin pressure might have something to do with it... but i survived, and now i'm here and ready to do anything and everything.

backing up, however, by about 32 hours, i was not quite so serene. i left la on tuesday around 6:30am, got home to sf shortly after noon, and immediately started in on some frantic laundry. around 2:30, i was moving clothes from washer to dryer, vaguely annoyed because it seemed that i had left a tissue in a pocket somewhere, when i uncovered, at the bottom of the washing machine, my cellular phone.

i was not pleased.

2 1/2 hours and $131 later, i was back on track, though slightly more disgruntled, and eventually got everything packed that needed to be packed (or so i think so far...), and though i didn't get to bed until around 2am (pacific), that was probably more due to me taking an hour and a half out to discuss a book with my dad.

so i think i've finally regained both my mental and physical equilibria, and hope put them both to the test tromping around in new york snow/rain tomorrow.
