Ok, well...so there won't be pics in this thread, as I sure as hell am not going to cart the software and wires to attach my camera to various friend's computers along the way! However, when I can drop in here from time to time, I will leave little updates in this forum. If anyone cares! hehe :D

So I packed up my office today...my official last day of work. It felt strange, and I am still not sure why I was so sad to walk out that door the final time. For those of you who don't know...I hated my job. Loathed it with a passion. Despised it so much I felt physically ill walking through the door most mornings. But I like to think of myself as a strong person, because that dislike never effected how I cared for my patients. I consider that a good quality, no? I can think of several patients I will miss...those I have been helping take care of for the past 2+ years. They are almost like an extended family sometimes. And as far as my work family...oh there are some true gems! They are the ones I will miss the most. Our steadfastness in the face of the tyranny of the executive staff members brought us all the closer. Friendship fired in adversity can burn so strong! Good nurses, good medical technicians, good docs/NP's/PA's... we prided ourselves on giving great patient care, even amidst staffing crises, bad management, lack of resources...the typical health care scene. They work so damned hard, and I am truly honored to have had the opportunity to work with many of the folks I have over my years here. They will always have a very special space in my heart, and there's room for lots of people in there! :)

But I ramble. I must do more laundry, sort more pictures into albums so I can safely transport them with me, find something to eat...all those necessities! The computer goes offline late tonight, don't think I'm going to sleep tho!

There's a great folk singer named Fred Small...I love his music. Some of his songs are like old blessings set to music, such as this one. I wish this for each and every one of you:
~~~
May the rain run off your shoulder when you're caught in a storm
When the frost comes a-calling may it find you safe and warm
May your place be set, may your promises be kept,
May you never forget you are loved.
~~~

Blessed Be,
mae

Heya Mae,

When you are in Ohio, if you are in Columbus, look up a gym named Built Solid, and stop in and Say Hi!

Email me if you want directions.

Traaveling to a wonderful future

Mae, my darling, so glad to hear from you! Some of us don't expect pictures<laughing>, but just to hear from you. I bet you are having a wonderful time and hopefully seeing new things.

Drop me a note when you can. I do love to hear from you.

Soft kisses,

Sabine

Hello again! Now in Baltimore...hanging with this strange bird :) And Jazzy won't answer his phone, and Druce keeps hiding from me...*sigh* What's a girl to do? But...this is a cool place too, helluva good lightning storm the other day, which tried to take me out, lol. I guess it's my magnetic personality, hahaha.

The trip has been...well great so far! Especially when I realized I didn't really lose my wallet in Indianapolis. Toph, I tried in vain to find a good work number for you to make you panic too, but then I found it in Ohio. Guess it's good I didn't get ahold of you, eh? Well, then at least you would have shared in my worry.

Sabine! Hope you are feeling better, and things are sunnier times now. You know you deserve more happiness than you let yourself have. Fix that sweetheart!

Aaron, DIG the new AV...*rowr*!

Justin, you're back online! how is home? Making more awesome music for me to listen to later? I hope so, you have talent babe!

Ok, I am done hogging the comp now from the birdman....*tease* He's a much worse addict than I am you know, and he's been jonesing for his Lit something fierce. :D

Pretending to lose your wallet? Oh the depths women will sink to in order to have a phone conversation with me! Glad you enjoyed gay bars, jazz clubs, terrible naked establishments, basements, early mornings. All in the name of the journey.

This is where I say something mushy and offer hugs, right?

Hi Mae

You must be going to Germany the long way around :)
It's cool to know you're OK. enjoy the rest of your journey
:kiss:
 
Good to hear from you!

Mae, glad to hear you are all right. Yeah, I am better, most definitely after seeing your kind words. You are moving right along and soon will be in Europe. It's going to be an exciting time and I wish you as much wonder and happiness as you can stand, my darling. I am missing you heaps, but know that you will be back before long. Enjoy the adventure! I can't think of anyone more deserving. Take pictures of scenery for god's sake and share with me at least. I will never get to Europe, so I would love to see it through your eyes.

Love you,

Sabine
 
Woo hooooo!!!!

Great to hear that you are doing so well in your travels Mae!!

Safe journeys always!
