Away Away Away

I've been laid off for nearly two weeks.  My first week off was a waste and a total haze.  I had post midtown depression syndrome.  I didn't want to wake up and then when I did, I had no idea what to do with myself.  You can't really hit the ground running with unemployment.  Thank god Sunday came and I could fly down to South Carolina for a lakeside Krause family reunion. I turned off my phone and my computer and read magazines and a book about a brain scientist who had a stroke and had to start all over again.  Kinda felt familiar.

Off to Maine today with Pam (thanks Pam!) for some continued R&R.  I don't really remember who I am or what purpose I had moving to New York in the first place and in this first phase of recovery I am totally confused.  Some days I think the internet helps and others I feel it overwhelms.  Being outside is the best thing for me right now - I just need to remember to bring my camera along and start taking some notes.

In Maine I want to read, bike, tennis, lobster and swim.  Pics to follow.
