Crystal Trino's Journal Sep 12 2006 Entry

September 12. Tuesday Night.

Hi Journey.

Casey says it’s quite easy moving so often. But I’d go crazy if I had to cram everything I owned into a backpack and a duffle and cart it halfway around the world. She hasn’t nailed down a move date, yet, but probably sometime in the next month. Egypt. It’s just nuts. But, that’s my little sis.

Note to self: make sure to Skype Carm soon to discuss. Better include Mom on the call, so she doesn’t feel left out. I haven’t phoned the folks in over two weeks. And no, J, "busy" doesn’t cut it as an excuse.

OK, guess what the new guy does? He sells paint. Paint! When she told me that in her last email, my fingers burned to type right back: "Run away. Run away fast!" But I was good.

And he doesn’t exactly selljust the paint; he is a painting contractor. And he has a very eclectic clientele: upscale hotels. That’s why he was there in Noumea; he and his crew were repainting the lobby of the Ibis.

I did ask her if he had meltaway eyes. No answer from Sis on that one, yet.

I’m all in, J. Had to back-up Dana on two pitches and Shelly on a third today. Plus, Joni was out sick so I stayed extra late to get out three invoices. Treated myself to a long run.

Goodnight, Journey
