• Yesterday I just spent my time on Xanga reading and commenting. I almost caught up! Now you're all writing again!
  
  I've felt exhausted ever since I slept on the sidewalk Monday & Tuesday night. Wednesday I just did a security shift and went home. Thursday & Friday I just helped set up and then went home. Last night I skipped out altogether, because the prediciton is rain for either Sunday or Monday night and, if we have enough support, that may be when things come to a head. I want to be there, and I don't want to be sick. I'm fighting off a cold, and the operative word is "fighting."
  
  (If any of you have come in in the middle of this saga, it starts on September 29. Or you can get the gist of it at http://insideshare.hypermart.net/issues/.)
  
  I hope we don't get arrested tonight. This isn't the only thing going on. WHEEL is also working on opening a women's severe-weather shelter, and we have a meeting with a possible host tomorrow afternoon. I hope we don't get arrested Tuesday either, because I'm on the hiring committee for a new women's shelter organizer and we're doing interviews Tuesday at 5PM. And Kevin and I still have to get the latest edition of the StreetWrites "Out of the Margins" broadside published!
  
  When my schedule got so crowded earlier this week that I refused to look at it, I just told myself, "Go with the Tao," and it worked. I didn't worry about time, focused on the moment, trusted the next one to arrive by itself (), and everything coordinated beautifully.
  
  But right now I'm sitting here sniffling at the Tao and feeling punk.
