Dear Diary:

I think I have learned something, though it is really too late to do anything about it. In my haste to get everything ready before the surgery, I got everything done with 17 days to spare before I leave here for Wisconsin. That was perhaps a mistake, since I now find myself with not much to do. I have to wait on the snail for something from April, go pick up my plane tickets before the 28th, and catch my plane on the 7th. I think spreading out those things that could have been delayed would have been a good idea...leaving things to look forward to as the time approaches. Of course, being nominally on vacation doesn't help. I suppose if one works just about up to the time they leave, it serves the same purpose.

Right now, I am very worried about Typhoon Walt, hanging around off the coast of Japan, gathering strength. I worry about April's safety. Of course, hearing about the earthquake there a few hours ago did not help. I truly hope she gets out of there before some sort of disaster befalls her.

I started worrying about why I wasn't worried about the surgery. I guess that shows how easily it is for us to start playing some serious mind games with ourselves. When I realized what I was doing, I had a good laugh at myself and calmed down a lot.

Love, Peace, and Boredom,

Robyn
