(Dr. Carl Sagan)
This is how I feel today, and perhaps the past few — small, insignificant, a spec of dust on a gnat. I’ve got a headache the size of New York City, I’m sleep deprived, I’m waiting for the phone to ring. I’ve felt dizzy all day and can’t see straight. Maybe these symptoms are the onset of the stress that is to come…
All I really need right now is peace of mind, to know that I am wanted and needed and somehow relevant, to feel relaxation. I am playing unfriendly mind games, jumping from one negative thought to the next. And with a day and a half left in town, pessimism is the last thing I need right now.
I am exhausted of feeling that I am a detail,
Like a spec of dust on a gnat flying through the universe.

Jenny, my dear you are not forgotten. Pinky swear. I am looking forward to engaging in some girlish banter when you get back. XO.>T
