I vow to take a day off today.
I sit here next to multiple 
sheets of paper on which unentered data also sit, taunting me. Time is 
getting short, and I feel pressure to push all of it onto a spreadsheet 
and continue preparing an archive of everything milkweed and Monarch for
 the Refuge.
Yet...... I miss aimlessly wandering enjoying 
immersion with the birds and plants. But the smoke makes my eyes burn 
and water. I miss writing with a stream of consciousness from my 
fingertips
. I miss exercising my dismal 
sketching skills, which sometimes surprise me when I look back at them. 
And I miss my daily miles-long walks. 
 Instead I waste my time on FaceBook. ;)
But I have only 17 days left here before heading west and a week on the Oregon coast with no commitments and internet.
