Saying goodbye to old friends

(Friday, August 1, 2008)
I am almost finished with my paper for my class I just took in Anchorage. Stayed up pretty late. Somehow, it seems so much easier for me to write late at night. It's like my creativity starts kicking in around 11:30 p.m. or later... Why is that? Earlier tonight I went up to the hospital to say goodbye to an old co-worker/friend. It was her last day and she is moving down to Colorado for the winter to help her daughter while she is finishing school. She'll be back, but it was great to spend a few minutes with her and some other old friends. I am wondering if I should have applied for that job when I moved back instead of the once I did, they pay so much better there, but it's not very flexible, and I think that is what I needed at this time in my life... Maybe a new position opens up and I can work there again next year...
