What a week.

It's late and I can't sleep. I'm sitting here on my sofa in the dark with my laptop. The light from my 'puter makes everything behind it pitch black but occasionally, I can see the reflection of kitty's eyes looking at me. It's sort of eerie.

This has been an interesting week. I had a customer that had submitted a signed lease, deposit etc. on a cute townhome. The landlord had accepted the offer. After about a week or so, the landlord backed out of the deal (he had not signed the contract) hoping to get a better deal down the road; and so now I'm trying to help my customers find a new place. This week, they could only look at night, so I've been getting in at 8:00. Tomorrow afternoon we go out again, so I hope we find them something. I'm losing sleep over these guys.

And interestingly enough, I had given Krystyn a lot of thought. I started the week worried about her and thinking of ways to encourage her through her disappointment. A couple of times I woke up with that on my mind. What I think is so interesting is that I've grown to care about someone I've never met. These are people who will probably never enter my physical universe but have actually had some sort of impact on my life.

My friend, Dawn and I went out to happy hour at a place called Arturo's then we went to Canyon Cafe for dinner. Yummy, I recommend their Chicken Enchilada's Suiza, I litterally cleaned the plate. I was hungry as I realized when we sat down that it had been 48 hours since I last ate....I was so busy on Thursday I forgot to eat. We had a really nice time. Dawn has many qualities I admire and I hope that I learn from her.

I'm going to try to go back to sleep.

It's actually a first for me.

I've been so sick that I haven't eaten, but I've never forgotten.

I hope you find your clients a new home soon. 8 p.m. is late. Too late to just be getting home from work.

I do care about my blogger buddies too. If they don't post for a while I wonder what's happened to them and hope they're okay cause I would never know. The fact that IF something horrible happened to them and I'd never know about it bugs me.

You know Amy, i always wondered if he knew about your post. I was going to ask you the other day, I don't know what it is that made me think to ask. It's funny you mention it though.

Eaf and Chris know of each others blogs. His is mostly about Hockey but she talks about him on occasion on her blog.

Ah, it was the snoopy story that made me wonder if he knew about your blog.

Yeah, i'm not ready yet to break out of total anonymoty (sp?). One day, I'll feel frisky and adventurous and I'll just post my pic or something.

I constantly forget to eat. Unfortunately, I make up for it often by eating everything in the house or wherever I happen to be at the moment once my body finally says, "HEY, DUMMY! EAT SOMETHING!!"

Chris would certainly post about me and vice-versa if something happened. I couldn't have a blog and not tell Chris about it, as I'm hopelessly interested in what he has to say about my posts. Besides, one of the best things about us both having blogs is we sometimes get to see the same incident from each others' point of view. And generally, with the exception of those of you reading THIS who have ventured over to my corner of the net, the only people reading our blogs are family and friends. And they never let us keep a blog secret from the other. :-)

Besides, Elizabeth is a bad liar and I would know something was up immediately.

If anything ever happened to me, John would comment about it. I'm sure of that.
