serenity now.

work stress is immense. one person on medical leave. one person on vacation. and i was already doing the work of myself plus two people who were laid off. writing this while i scarf down a burrito.

i really wish lorie lived in ny. or could at least teleport here. maybe via hologram? calmest, most spiritual person i know. just being around her makes me feel more zen. even if i feel like an idiot in yoga class. 

instead it's elliott "false cathedrals" on repeat. boxing tonight to tire myself out enough for sleep. 

got to talk to TT for a bit last night. felt bad interrupting fam time with the twins. terrible twos. he was singing the praises of elliott with me. saying how lucky he was to play like 10 shows with them back in beta days. 

maybe i should invest in a helicopter to fly back and forth from "home" to home for some sanity? phonelines just ain't cutting it these days. but i have to go up for annmarie's baby shower and then again for my mom's birthday. once a month, basically.  

i put up more family pictures in my cubicle. and a butterfly post card from costa rica. more color. less beige blandness. 

11.26's meditation: 

"the rhythm of breathing is a constant accompaniment to life."
