almost every night i've been up to about 3:00AM to 5:00AM madly and tirelessly finishing the turtle. i've gotton about 6 hours of sleep each night and working nearly every waking moment. and alas the day has finally come . . .that is it 95% done. it's done enough, that I can work on the little things between now and until the parade. overall, i'm proud of myself.
I am running a little ragged and finding less time to do anything, including updating this very blog. Despite this, I am amazed at my ability to keep my energy and spirits up as well as the lovely folks around me. Including new folks that have come: Kristi (Minneapolis), Patti (Colorado) and Ben & Dan (Melbourne, Australia). Tomorrow I go back to Lu Zhou by myself, one last time, for some finishing touches with the giant noodle baby float (it is not a noodle man at all), I am looking forward to it. The Jessie and Jeri combo will be separated to three sites. I will stay here at Dream Community, Jeri will go to the Jane Goodall Institute in Taipei and Jessie will go to
Neihou Community College. We've had separation anxiety all day. I will miss them. . .
