I think it was a throwaway comment for you. It just made me think ... so I remembered it.

Indeed, yes you did live various pysanky supplies here. I haven't written an egg since I started writing fiction, but I'm thinking I will make a serious effort to do so this season. (Egg season, to my mind, starts immediately after Christmas.) But say the word and I'll pull your stuff out and give it back. Or come over and we can do some together!

Yes, I've got B on the "maybe in five years" plan. My parents are in town and not getting younger, so I'm dragging my feet. Plus, he loves his job. At the moment, he's full of ideas of how in five years he might be able to work for NI in Seattle. There are a lot of things he could do ... a lot of the industries in that area are very important to NI. But we'll see. Five years is a long time.

I'm game, if we can work out a way for me to do it without my clumsiness messing everything up. It may be time for me to buy an egg holder, for example. I think I quietly had one of life's "wake-up" calls in the past few months, without even realizing it. And doing more of what I want, and not worrying about being in what felt like a !#%@ hallway is part of it.

In a weird way, I have the feeling I'm headed for an outstanding door. I just need to be calm and get my focus back for it.

The parents thing is tricky. You want at least one child close, if possible. In my family, I'm am closest to my parents--they're in AZ--and until I met W, I was prepared to relocate out there, when the time came. If course, now, some days I am more incapacitated than they are...one of life's little ironies. But not leaving Jenna to cope, I do see your point. Sometimes it takes more than one child to cope. Are any of B's siblings close to his parents? And you know my objection to Seattle--climate (full spectrum bulbs might not be enough in a temperate rain forest) and housing costs. Affordable is 45 min. from MicroSoft and not made of stone or brick... But the three months that it's beautiful, it is like nothing else on earth. We saw one day like that while there.

Awesome.

Lots of biking, too. And as you say--many possible industries to choose from. They were interested in W, but he's turned them down twice now. Don't know if that door remains open.

Wish that lotto would come along. I'd like that in the bank, just to let grow.... ;^)
