It was another banner day at the Yakima Field Office. It's amazing how little can be done by so many! Oh well. Hot here in Yakima, about 90 today and hotter tomorrow. Had to turn on the AC. Mom was OK today but a little anxious when Robert was late getting home. Adel and mom called a few times until he arrived. It is almost 10pm EDT now and I don't expect to hear from them tonight. Maggie e-mailed the pictures she took of their meeting with Bea Carpenter. The picture is of that day.

I haven't been sleeping well lately but have been dreaming quite a bit which is unusual for me. I won't elaborate but to say they all take place in NY. I cannot shake the feeling that I am destined to return but when is still a mystery.

I can't seem to shake this restless feeling and desire for a major change in my life. I am bored and disgusted at work. Can't seem to find anything to keep my interest. I have been feeling drained and hollow as if there is something missing I just can't seem to nail it down. I need to make some dramatic changes. I have been here too long. It is making me old.

I need to get Robert to nail down one way or another if we are going to go to Fire Island and when. My boss keeps pressing me to get my time scheduled. I will press him tomorrow about it. If Carol is not going to offer the house we need to make some other plans asap. It is already June and flight schedules will be harder to make the later I wait.

Ruth is retiring tomorrow. Her daughter has leukemia and is dying. Ruth is going to take care of her daughter's three children. They are quite young, twins who are six and another child which is eight I think. It is a very sad time for her but she is a remarkable woman! I pray for her strength every day! Ted is still in the hospital with no diagnosis yet.

Well maybe I'll add more later but for now I will wish you peace!
