10:55 Late Wednesday Morning   Where Does The Time Go? Maybe it takes a holiday in the Bermuda Triangle,never to be seen again. 3 months are almost up. I swear it was just yesterday I could see the ground without being obscured by a blanket of white. I swear I was eating a vegetarian Thanksgiving dinner across from my baby cousins who were eating fruit snacks only the other moment. I swear Caleb and I were in Portland just until now. Where did Christmas go, and New Year's? Where did January go? Yesterday I was trying to figure out which way I felt more strongly; fend-for-yourself policies or social-equality policies. I figured out that I don't know anything. All I want is an affordable home and health insurance. I'm feeling really torn about Caleb coming here for Grad school. We'll be together which is good but that's at least 4 years we will be probably too strapped for cash to visit our friends in NZ. Speaking of NZ, last night I had a dream that John and Veti picked me up at the Chch airport and we biked to Tom's house, where there was a massive party with Geniesa and Chris. i really miss all my kiwis. Caleb leaves a week from today. I am ... going to be ok. but not very happy. Thank goodness for Amy and Helen and Angie. I voted yesterday. hooray for being civically active!
