A day in a life

Its been quite a day out here
Wake at 5am after an early unplanned sleep episode
[missed my Chi Kong! :( ]
Getting up
resisting the return to warm bed
Ha haa!!

and down to comp writing down all that needs to be
Budget
Paychecks
Responses

Then out out
to the Garden
see the crazed Yossi attaching any kind of wooden pieces to the Godgo
(traditional Ethiopian house)
then the neighbour that asks for another picture and financial aid
and here they come
40 americanos
spreading out to hear the story
(again..)
and then work out there and create -
a new table
new raised bed from telephone poles
new irrigation system beyond
fixing mud structures
new red-blue greenhouse

Then quickly tour the grounds
clean it all up
run over to a ChiKong delivery and some tea n cake
run back fro some more talk n falafel (blaah)
then drills
then reciepts
then a 2hr meeting downtown on budget and fundraising
she's gotta be calm
focused
professional

so what if its a big jungle of madness

and now here she is
our heroine
eating gespacho in a resto downtown
working away at the keyboard
wash it down with a beer
lone cowgirl
trying to finalize as much as can be done
before she breaks
and curls up
before another day..
