Today is Thursday in Flash

Thursday is:

• payday

• half day of work, half day of vacation. my new job gives everyone 80 hrs of vacation at January 1. I started December 16 - that's the most generous vacation policy I have ever run across.

• dentist appointment at 2:30 - I broke a fucking tooth. I have awful teeth. It's a wonder I've kept as many as long as I have. I have a really wonderful dentist and he might be able to save this one. I sure hope so. Wish me luck.

• I've been walking noons with Cindy and after work with Gracie (and Jim mainly)

• last year's calves are getting ready to be sold

• new ones are being born

• fair book requires only one more visit to the library

• I gotta gotta gotta do my taxes - this weekend. I think I have all the forms. It's just a matter of putting stuff together and deciding if I want to put money in 401k and if so how much and if so where - oh hell that sounds like a project.

• anyway - love and best wishes to you all. have a good weekend. enjoy the season's change. take a walk. breath deep. come back and tell me about it.

The waters around Prince Rupert were full of working boats. Tough ones. It was a special place to be.
