Grey New Jersey

Today is Wednesday, January 7, 2009. I am on call today and hoping and praying that they don't call me for a trip. I wouldn't mind getting out of New Jersey, I never do. ;) But, the weather is nasty, I don't feel good, and I don't feel like driving to the airport...
I am sortof "without place" here in New Jersey. I've officially moved out of the room that I was renting and most all of my belongings have made their way back to Washington through trips back with suitcases or through the post. So, I'm sitting here in my friend's apartment, thinking about my childhood growing up in Washington state. I guess the grey and the rain has something to do with it, or maybe it's the song that's playing from my sister's friend's first demo album (Alissa Moreno-check out her myspace page). This particular song takes me back to the campfires of my youth. I realized that I've had so many campfire experiences, singing campfire songs. Thinking about that feeling and the setting of those experiences, in the dark among tall green trees or on the sand at the ocean, makes me almost cry in happiness that I had a good childhood.

That horrible space-like ring tone that I set for the scheduler's just went off. I swear I have a little heart-attack everytime I hear that sound. One day I'll get to turn my phone off at night's and I'll never have to hear that sound again...But for now, my mood has been ruined, and my life and this blog entry interrupted. At least I get to go to Dublin...Maybe the sun will be shining there?
