scare.

today, i woke up feeling groggy because i've been sick and stuffy in the head/nose. i also woke up late--i didn't write my brief last night...and i didn't even end up writing it today. i'll just have to write one next week...ahead of time...with more thought. so i woke up, and of course the first thing i did was check my email. in it, there was an email from jess--subject: a quick goodbye. basically, she said she's been really stressed recently (which i knew) and that she needs to get away. so she's "leaving the area for a while," but she doesn't know when she'll be back. i totally freaked out!! i just read it and thought that it was a suicide note...or at least, runaway note. i guess she's an adult--she can run anywhere she wants...but it was so incredibly vague, you know? blaaaaah. i called her, but she didn't pick up. so i emailed suhitha at work to see if she had any ideas, and i tried adding walt to my buddy list to see if he knew anything. bleeeh. i was just freaked out all day. anyway, she finally called, but i missed her call. she left a message telling me she's going to arizona (like a canyon ranch...?), and she told me, "do not worry" several times. blah. with juliette and dong, you can imagine where i might come up with all these crazy ideas. anyway, i'm glad to know that she's taking some time off (at least three months). i hope she'll be able to relax and reflect and refresh herself.

back to work, i suppose...
