Entry041501

04/15/01 - All is filed, including major piles of miscellaneous paperwork. I even took down the 2000 calendar. It slipped behind the desk. When I went to fish it out ... I found my nail clippers!!! Yippee!!!

There's no spell checker here. I try to catch my errors. But geez ... Some get by. I went through a few bad spots last week. Had a problem with Bea at work. I forgot her condition, forgot how touchy she can get. We have to take a break from each other now. There's nothing to forgive. I don't do that anymore. We just need our own space for a bit. And I put off the taxes for no reason. They were easy to do and I'm getting a giant refund. Go figure. And on top of that, I've been freezing all week.

The sun was warm but the wind was chill.
You know how it is with an April day
When the sun is out and the wind is still
You're one month on in the middle of May.
But if you so much as dare to speak,
A cloud comes over the sunlit arch,
A wind comes off a frozen peak,
And you're two months back in the middle of March
~Robert Frost

I had a nice weekend. The roses are starting to bloom; they are just beautiful. But, you know what I like? I like the buds. They have this tight wrapping around them with just a hint of the enclosed beauty showing through. They are hiding a gorgeous secret.
