i have a million thoughts in my head and yet, nothing is really coming out. my office is closed today in honor of MLK, Jr. Day - but alas, i am here. missed way too many days while the divine was ill, so i have a lot of catching up to do - and i thought that being caught up on just one case might be kind of nice at this point ... but such is the life of single parenthood and lawyering - and i wouldn't trade it for the world.

i love being here when no-one else is here. i don't have to turn on those harsh flourescent office lights, i can just let the sun shine in through the window - it is so quiet and peaceful.

we got a reprieve and beth gets to stay one more day!! but we both had work to do so she is at home working and i am here - but that gives us the evening and the night; which is more than we were supposed to have.

joined a new church yesterday. my relationship with god is very important to me but the religion i grew up in is not accepting of 'my kind' so to speak - but this is a methodist church i found that is, unbelievably, one block from my house and is accepting. chnacat actually found that out for me and since it happened to be one block from my house - i have to think that was fate. anyway, i became an official member yesterday. i really like this church, i like its vision and the way that as a whole, they want you to keep questioning things, if that makes sense - and embrace not only the obvious diversity, but differing views, outlooks, and interpretation; and really concentrate on being 'partners' with god and the community and each other. it is way more detailed but the main thing is, i like it and i like the idea of raising the divine there - if we don't move to michigan . . . which is another story entirely.

well, i guess since i'm here, i should get some work done. thanks for listening ...
