I know I have been AWOL of late.  Nothing bad just lots of dumb stuff:

Son home from college with (it seems) half the freshman population of the school in tow.  To tell you the truth my son’s friends are the most respectful bright group guys that I have seen in some time.  Mad props to 18.  He has surrounded himself with a great group.  Anyway they still eat a lot and make and . . . well you know the drill.

15 on restriction – yet again – 12 a.m. curfew.  3 a.m. arrival.  Need I say more.  He can’t leave the house so we’ve been boarded  the extra attitude meets more chores train. It’s been time consuming.

Back at work.  LOTS of changes this year.  Mad new prep. New production staff new ideas It’s almost like a new show launch. Out of town all of that.

Duchess’ mom not doing well.  She been traveling care taking (which I monitor – she’s got to stay healthy herself) and we’ve all been worrying.

Had a couple of writing deadlines that I had to meet and DID!

There’s more but it’s mundane.  Nasty cold all around.  15 brings it home.  Sick for 4 days.  E and I have been fighting it two weeks.

Did get to drop by last night to see more comments.  Arnell, you know you are in my thoughts and prayers.  You have a lot going on around you.  Hang in there.

I am riveted by the news out of Japan and the grace of their response in the face of a disaster trifecta – God bless those people!

Any how, that’s about it.

All of you out there who are having it rough.  Like I said my prayers are with you.  Carve out a piece of joy for yourself no matter how small.  If you get your mind right it won’t make you feel better but it might take the edge off just when you need it the most.

PEACE.

I used this picture because it generated so many comments on Facebook.  I was surprised by that. Moreover, I could not find the question mark I typically use . . .

What’s on your minds?

Well, I am getting ready to go back at it. Starting next week I will be doing the LA thing taping shows.  Excited to get back to work.  I am so fortunate to enjoy what I do so much.  A creative and interesting gig that I am so happy to have.

That bears saying every once in a while.  Keeps me on point.

This is going to be my look for the next few weeks because I am trying to grow my hair out and I can’t do anything with it.

I played tennis for the first time in almost three weeks today.  I had forgotten, not only how much I enjoyed it, but how relaxing it was.  My coach and I were talking about how nice it is to have this one thing we do that relies totally on us and has objective standards.  You know, either the ball is in or it isn’t.  Either it made it over the net or it didn’t.

When I watch the ball all of the way into the racket I hit a better shot.  That is all up to me.  Either I played well that day or I didn’t and there is no guessing.

I like that.  You don’t get that kind of clean stuff a lot, you know?  Things that rely just on you and not a whole lot of other people.  No subjective opinions about what you have produced.  Just a good outcome for a good days work.  If you get beat you get beat because the other guy played better.  No third parties involved.  CLEAN.

I did play okay by the way.  Pain free is a helpful state of being.  The three weeks off gave me a chance to heal.  (I had the ridiculous nerve pinch thing going on)  It had been going on so long it seemed normal. I just thought I was moving slower and not as well – but, as it turns out, I was hurting.

I was all over the court today, chasing that ball like I was a Labrador Retriever.

Boomy is trying to kill a sister too.  Nothing outrageous.  Just walking me into a slow crazy with a lot of Knicky-Knack behavior.  This too, I suppose, shall pass.

But in the mean time in between time: Back to work!!  Color me happy!  I am a lucky woman.

Peace.

So what’s up?

First of all I appreciate all of you and the “we support you no matter what” attitude.  You guys are wonderful.

TIP – hello. What a heartfelt post! I hope things get better for you soon. I suppose I don’t know what and who gets something out of what I do.  (and you were right my announcement was rather abrupt – I should have thought that through a bit more)  I had been thinking about it for a while but I hadn’t shared.

ANYHOW

While I still haven’t found my voice I figured I still have enough brain cells left to answer questions and since this is Thursday I might as well do Ask Me Thursday  at least one more time.  Same rules apply.

No legal questions

Can’t answer them all

Will do the best I can with the ones I feel I have a good response to.
