"manifest plainness
embrace simplicity
reduce selfishness
have few desires"
[Lao Tse, "Tao Te Jing"]

Ok, I'm back to something much more calm. Amazing sometimes how such a simple single encounter with an attractive women can get my heart racing. She is certainly an interesting and special woman. I do hope to see her again. And I'm sure I'll find her just as compelling next time. I hope it goes forward. But if it doesn't, I certainly won't stop trying. I'm sure my Special Someone^TM is out there somewhere.

EI is finally straightened out. I have to do a number of other errands today, like sorting out my health care coverage. I should start packing for the move soon. I'll have to give my notice come Friday as well, and want to move quickly after that. Still haven't actually been by my sister's though.

You know... I sit here with the intention of writing, and then after I've basically said what I had to say, realize it's all of two short paragraphs, and not the big entry I somehow envisioned before I started. *shrug* Guess that just means my choice of quote today was appropriate in more ways than one.
