It's just a few minutes before I leave the house for the day and because of an after work engagement, I'm making an effort to dress up a bit. It's always challenging for me when I'm meeting someone right after I leave the office--obviously, I have a toothbrush and toothpaste in my desk drawer--but the wear and tear to one's overall appearance after taking calls, working through stacks of paper, making photocopies, and just moving around from place to place can be significant and difficult to repair in the women's bathroom.

Had a long talk with my youngest sister last night (she's been so busy we haven't connected in days). That silly goose always makes me laugh! After that, I fell asleep easily and deeply and had troubling dreams.
