Hurray! I counted up my labor sheet yesterday, and I was over quota by... well, I made 49 lovely labor credits. And I turned my sheet in before the deadline, so I'll get an extra 2.5 for that. I'm glad I made such a lovely sum before going on a long trip where labor credits are few and hard to come by. The disadvantages of the amazing Twin Oaks labor system sometimes overwhelms the advantages. And vice versa, I am sure.
Before I started my labor credit endeavor, I was pretty unhappy about it, which made things worse. I loafed, frankly, and wallowed, and sometimes I cried. I got lots of encouragement and hugs and everyone seemed to love me more than I thought I deserved. Interesting, that, eh? The people of Twin Oaks are pretty amazing. I'm lucky in a variety of ways, and a lot of them seem to be the direct result of living with terrific people. A lot of terrific people. Sometimes there are so many terrific people, I get, well, not terrified, but overwhelmed. I haven't entirely discovered a pattern. It seems, at least, that I've broken out of the wallowing.
We're off, the nuclear family in which I am called "Mom." We're off to Florida to visit relatives, and we'll be home sometime, in a week or so. I doubt I'll have access to this blog, so until then, be well.
much love,
Kelpie

Yeah Kelpie. That must be very satisfying. I hope your worst problem is that you are surrounded by too many terrific people.
