t, what dates are you in sf?

Next week! 7-14 april.

i'm going to miss you by less than a week:(

;_; </3

EXTEND

where *else* are you going, estela?

XD

;_;

i mean when you're leaving equators and hemispheres and lovely fall weather by the wayside, what's a few thousand more miles kilometres?

pretty sure i've been to that french joint lxy linked to, need to go up to 'frisco this year, last time was 2003 i think

i want to go to that french joint.

mookie, hurry up and move to seattle, you need to be there by next week.

(i am in so much trouble, sandboxers, i am a million miles behind on everything i have to do before i leave and i leave on friday morning and it's already wednesday night.)

go to bed now, get up at 4 am, stay awake doing stuff till you get on the plane, sleep all the way to the us

it is a perfect plan

it is a perfect plan with very high self-esteem

our dogsitter who harry has gone to for eight years is sick (not seriously but debilitatingly) and can't take him so we had to find someone at the last minute, luckily she knew some kind dog lovers who have agreed to take him, they are nice and they have two little dogs that he got on well with when we went to meet them. so that took some time to organise. and i have an elderly (87) friend who might be dying quite soon, he is very ill with breathing problems, and he keeps luring me around to visit him and i keep going because i fear he won't be here when i get back and he is a great fellow. and all these other things keep happening so i can't get on top of stuff, i can't wait till i'm on the plane and it's too late to worry about anything else.

.

oh lady, i'm sorry. here i thought you were being a rotten procrastinater.

i hope harry is happy in his temporary home and that your friend can be at ease. i'm sure he takes great comfort in your company and appreciates the time with you. you are such a kind friend.

passport, credit card. that's all you really need so try not to worry too much about the other stuff.

love you, sending wisjes, can't wait to see you soooooon! <3 oo

i have truncated my to-do list so things are looking hopefuller but domestically outrageouser.

i cannot wait to see the sandboxers i am going to see and i'm sorry about the ones i'll be missing seeing this time.

:(

happy packing <3

Ytth and tza are climbing hills while I sit in the car bc I have (deliberately) inappropriate footwear

lol i love you ruby

^_^

Tza has a v v soothing radio voice btw

awww

smoove and ytth are so wonderful!! and kind and fun and hospitable! I wish I could bring them home with me but, as I told them, I don't wish dc on anyone!

awww

aww <3 tza is lovely loveliest!! but 3 glasses of wine probably wasn't a good idea ahead of an 11 hour work day, 10.5 of which i spent standing up.

also, tza: that asparagus i kept talking and talking about? yeah i totally made it tonight and it was really yum!

aw<3

ruby, i will call you tomorrow, approximately what time is best?

no time!!! seriously though, i will be working from 8am-7pm, home about 7.30, cook dinner and eat and then to bed! i have to work a ton because no one else can do my job while i'm away and oh i don't get paid vacation while bc my boss is a terrible person so i have to rack up the over-time. but in better news: i think ytth WILL be here when you are here.

p.s. i don't like talking on the ph anyway, it makes me feel weird, bc i am a weirdo.

Ooh, smoove please share your asparagus recipe!

When I got into hotel last night I found a letter from mgmt saying that the water should be off from 10am to 3pm today for renovations. sigh. What a weird place.

Tonight we dined chez panisse cafe and it was so lovely. I definitely think berkeley is better than sf.

I am jealous of all the pretty nature so close to sf. Old growth trees and beaches! I always get so sad when I have to leave the west coast :/

did berkeley make you sunny?

Not like seattle! But muir woods and driving up the coast did. I dint think sf is fitter me, id probably only want to live in a beautiful outlying area id never be able you afford rather than sf proper.

Lol auto complete...

lol i think i know what you mean :)

you should move back to seattle, you deserve to be sunny all the time!

some day, i hope!! at this point i feel like anywhere would be better than here. which is really sad.

yay, seeing ruby and ytth tomorrow!!! the pineapple lumps are burning a hole in my suitcase.

i am very glad they are not burning a hole in your stomach!

also, hurray! hug them for me plz?

this is such a sandboxy month. it's wonderful.

So sad I missed you, e! Hugs for the smooves, they really are the greatest.

I had a lol moment the other day when watching the interviews I taped in sf and surrounding areas and cringing at the sound of my voice (I will be edited out thank goodness) and thinking about smoove's comment up there.

You have a lovely voice! But almost everyone hates the sound of their own voice
