Ok, my LJ friends, I just wanted to let everyone know, I'm doing ok.  I haven't jumped from the face of the earth, although some people would consider New Mexico the end of the earth.  I'm chilling (baking actually) with my mom and trying to get some dust to settle.  I'm not sleeping well, but really the New Mexico sky at night is really beautiful.  I've launched head first into her garden and soon there will not be a weed to be found.  I even pick weeds at night.  My mom is being wonderfully silent on my nighttime escapades into the garden.  It's very theraputic.

i'm still working on projects that were in place up in Washington before I left and I'm tring to get some more studying in for a job. I've lost 10 pounds in the week I've been gone. But I think that's mostly sweat. 

Enough for now.
