A protected kindle

I feel like I am holding tightly to protect what little spark I can vary today. Bent over, sheltering my little tinder pack from any threatening breeze. 

I got a message late last night that the place Maggie and I were going to stay is not an option now. They changed their minds. Sigh. And it is clear I need to leave on time. 

I am feeling a little down about the whole situation. Mostly because I don't know what to do. It's like a big waiting game- like I am standing in the middle of a desert dirt road, saying- well, okay, what's next?

I can't reAct, I just have to be calm and wait. I don't have enough information to do anything in any direction. I just know what my ultimate end result is. What I want. Land, home, teaching. Me and Maggie. Home. 

Sigh. Some days just crying would be enough to release... But unfortunately today, at work, is not the time.
