Work

today was one of work, just as i suspected. got off to a slow start (is it possible to go to sleep late, and then wake up and get to work early when you're your own boss?). rebekah came over for the afternoon, to help with some of the continuing packing, and to visit. i only got to be here for almost an hour during lunch, then went back to work, and then got off at about 9, with odds and ends of chores and errands thrown inbetween. ugh, what horrible sentence to have in a blog. oh! also talked with ever on the phone for a while. fun times. that's all for today, cuz i'm going to start my 05 overview.

He wanted to capture not just live animals, but the aliveness of animals in their natural state: their wildness, their quiddity, the fox-ness of the fox and the crow-ness of the crow --Thomas Nye, quoted in "Ted Hughes, 68, a Symbolic Poet And Sylvia Plath's Husband, Dies," New York Times, October 30, 1998
