Broken Stopgap

This week has been unbelievably  intense as my livelihood comes via the internet and I have had no home connection. I found a close and cozy place to become a virtual office away from home, but of course there is no printer and I inevitably would leave a vital number or paper at home resulting in incomplete forms or total disability.   Fortunately, my blackberry has provided a lovely stopgap but over all it has been near maddening  to switch gears and adapt to an already unpredictable schedule. Proving my distractions are not mild, today I left my blackberry in my jeans as they went through an entire wash, rinse and spin cycle.  I removed a few screws revealing the insides of the Blackberry Curve although I did not completely disassemble it; I managed to dry out the condensation on the screen. My labor was in vain as the 3 week old blackberry has  kicked the bucket.

Out of utter frustration and needing a mental respite, I did a little clutch for a friend in Portland and a small, simple vessel. I had limited time, because of a packed schedule yet the segment was refreshing and beyond needed.
