I'm waiting to hear from a certain client that all of his paperwork is in order and he has the check from his bank. The check for the loan that will allow us to start the project that I wrote a quote for over three months ago. The project which was scheduled to start November 1.

It's hard to concentrate on anything when you're turning blue (from holding your breath).

I watched Immortality last night (originally known as "The Wisdom of Crocodiles").

At the very, very end, Jude Law (the main character) reminsces about falling out of a tree as a child. He just barely managed to catch a branch as he fell, and hung there for as long as he could, unable to climb back up. His arms burned as he held on much longer than he should have been able to. He remembered very little except the pain of holding on.

And the sweet relief of  finally   letting            go.

His story gave me chills, it felt too familiar.
