scene at work today

lady in corridor at courthouse:  pssst, pssst!  hey you!  hey courtney!

me, frazzled and loaded down with files, and i should have been nicer, but i hate being psst'ed at!:  ma'am, my name's not courtney. 

lady, slightly confused:   ohhhh. (pause) it's luann right?

it's the end of the fiscal year here in the bluegrass, and so there's been lots of crunching the numbers.  in the eight and a half months that i've been an esquire, i've handled over 500 cases.  and i've been called a lot of things in FY 2009-10, but this, this was the first "luann."

i had a lot more to say here, about trying new things in june like i planned, about going to new dog parks and speaking spanish to clients and mom visits and making yogurt for the first time.  about open houses and exercise videos and organizing filing cabinets.  and letting habie off leash, adopting a koala, and conferences in lexington.  okay, one of those things may not have actually happened.

but, i planned to write about all of this, and then i got a call from a friend at a bar, and so i went out on a wednesday evening, for the first time in june.  check check check.

you know, as much upheaval as june has brought, i wouldn't have it any other way.  here's hoping july brings as much newness.
