Update

Well, it's my 40th Birthday. The BF was seen off safely this morning, and I think she had a good time. She was my best present, because she showed up and gave me great comfort and support while at the same time helping me think about myself and learn. She observed me with BBQ, Biker Church, at the dojang, in my room, and out in the local community, including a biker rally, and I think she's satisfied that I'm doing OK out here. She helped me buy and hang art, so my room isn't so austere. She brought me my stuff I needed from Salem, made dinner with leftovers so I eat well this week, and even got my truck serviced while I was at work, and I appreciate her more than I can say. Thank you, and I love you, O BF. *smile*

Today, it's business as usual on the ward. I'm rewriting a neuropsych evaluation, running my group, and I went to my didactics about the Rorschach, the TAT, and projective testing this morning. Tonight, a quick workout and then I'll help raise an Entered Apprentice Mason this evening. I'll probably get a call from Tam later in the evening.

I'm behind on my mail and email, and I'll get caught up in a few days. I'm still waiting to hear from more people about the question I posed on lj a few days ago, people I think will really be able to help me conceptualize how I communicate. Please chime in, if you've a mind to do so. I'd like your feedback, if you feel free to give it---anonymously or not. Thank you.

Birthday Gifts

I'm blessed.

I get home after Lodge where I helped raise TWO Entered Apprentice Masons.

I get a call/update from Sensei Foxx...haven't heard from him in some time, but he's been busy being Cernunnos.

Then, a call from the BF, who's safely in PDX after a 4-hour plane delay so the Universe could have her connect with someone. She read me the Sun, and gave me Rob Brezny's Pronoia, and many, many other gifts.

The Universe is helping me with my financial situation; thank you to those who sent/sending money.

And, then, finally, I look on the table, and there's a package from Paula. I open it, and it's a black ceramic coffee cup. The inscription on the cup: Harley Dude.
