Done.

Maybe 1 1/2 to 3 hours of sleep....not quite sure.  10 hour work day.  Haven't had a day to myself since something like two weeks.  I'm tired and supremely happy.

I was so busy I forgot my dear mothers birthday.  HORRIBLE daughter!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!

I'm now going to sit down and watch some mindless TV, eat a frozen pizza and revel in the beer I've had.  Things have been really beautiful and amazing - Antonio Banderas' "NINE" movie musical was just about the most amazing thing I've ever seen in the most amazing theatre.

In the past week I've learned a few things:  Be who you really really really are - even if it's scary, even if it's not socially acceptable, even if it's something you've always been shying away from since you were self-aware.

Be happy.   That's ALL that really matters.

Don't hurt others.  It's not nice.

Be respectful.

Communicate.  Communicate.  Communicate.

And then communicate some more, even if it makes you scared, makes you sad, makes you afraid.  Because fear is simply a useless chain that holds you down.

I AM happy, I'm exclastic.  I AM being who I always wanted to be.  Granted, this has booked me beyond my capabilities sometimes (such as missing my mothers birthday), but it's been more than worth it.


Thank you.
