And contemplating the tedium that is soon to become my life now that the holidays are over.  No, you don’t hear pity… it’s just strange that I don’t go back to work tomorrow, per say.  I will be checking out the job listings, following up with contacts and performing various and sundry assignments that I have picked up with my volunteering to help friends.    However, once those items are ticked off, I will be pondering the happenings or lack thereof in State College.

I am wondering how to reach my former neighbors and soon to be former renters in France to remind them to turn off the water in the house prior to moving out.  They just disconnected their internet… so hoping they are still answering their phone.  They leave for Cambodia at the end of the week.

I am wondering… maybe I should buy a lottery ticket because I might win and then I could just go to France and turn the water off myself.  I could then head off to Cambodia to visit my friends in their new house.  Go south to New Zealand to visit my OT friend.   And then swing by Beirut to visit a friend who has promised me a glass of wine on her balcony.  Then, maybe head back to France to visit my friends there and winter part of the season drinking wine and reading in front of the fireplace.  Guaranteed no blogging then…. And then perhaps, head to London to catch some plays and pursue my stalker plans of tracking down a certain actor… who in this blog shall remain nameless… but you know who you are.  Of course he will turn out to be single, straight and fall madly head over heels in love with me.  And that will be great for a while, and then I will get the yen for travel and bail out and head to Cali to visit my friends there.  Yes, a lottery ticket is sounding very good.

But for now, I think I just need to plan to call France in the morning.

Missing you all and missing the sunny weather of So. Cal.

As ever,
