happiness is a day off

today i am really happy. it is absolutely gorgeous outside. breezy, sunny and like 65 degrees. cv and i slept in a little and went to the hotcake house for breakfast. i ate fresh eggs and hashbrowns with orange juice. now i've just been IMing with nikki for over an hour. today is my day off!

shannon may come by later today to pick out some gear for her mt. hood excursion tomorrow. she, cv, troy, adam, and a guide, geoff, are going to climb hood this weekend. pretty awesome.

i feel like i am finally getting sort of caught up with school. i start my clinical on monday at St. Vincent's Eating Disorders Clinic. i believe i will really learn so much there.

i am planning out my tattoo. still mulling over a passion flower.

good news! per vince (therapist) nick has had no "doo doo fits" for 2 weeks. WOW! that is about as good as it gets with him. i'm delighted. now if we can just find that ideal permanent place for him. . . pray please for brenda (social worker) as she looks and petitions. next hearing is april 25.

tonight my friend jenny and i are going to a presentation at OHSU on autism. i am really looking forward to it.
now . . . off to the porch to sit breathe and maybe . . . read.

i am also planning a trip in june to see my best friend robyn and her now not so new baby, justin in las vegas. . . then continuing on to austin to see haydn (my bro) tiffany my neice-alot kai pie. she is also 8 mos and doing all kinds of cool stuff. i haven't seen her since christmas. i can't wait!<
