Give me an S! Give me a U! Give me an M! Gime me all the letters until you get SUMMER because that's what it is here in sunny Chch!!! 20 degrees again today and now that the time has changed (spring ahead) we are getting nice long, warmer evenings too!

I am a workaholic! My semi-retirement has all but disappeared! Monday I was at Doorways for most of the day, then did a half day at the hostel. Tuesday - hostel. Wed, Thurs, Fri - Doorways. Sat - Fri - hostel. That's like 2 weeks without a break! I am so dedicated. And poor. It will be a definite test of my abilities to have an entire week tied to the hostel grounds... not able to even go to the sidewalk... will I make it? So, yes, this is another warning of extended absence. If any of you still have any hope for me that is...

Good to be back at Doorways - such a laugh with that crowd! You know how you don't realize you missed something until you have it back again? I miss working with other people! There's always loads of people around the hostel, but it's strange not having a coworker that has the same hours. That's my wise revelation.
