saved by...

the fedex girl.

let me explain.

i have mentioned
that i was working
on two collaborative
pieces with eero
for
the synthesis show
in anchorage.

this entails
me doing
the first
half of
each piece
then mailing
them to eero
to finish.

after
a series
of
unfortunate events
that included
spraining
some fingers
and
completely
scraping across
one of the pieces
while packaging
it for shipping...
i finally finished
and
shipped out
the pieces
this morning.
when i got
to the fedex place
the fedex girl said
it would cost
$200
to ship it.
my heart sank.
i thought
i would just sit
down and cry.
she must have
seen it
on my face
because then
she whispered,
"i'll give you
my discount."
it ended up
costing $45.
i wanted
to jump
over the counter
and hug her.
thank you
so so much
fedex girl.
you saved me.





i am not sure
how i feel
about the pieces...
there was
a lot
of thought
behind them...
layers
of biological
evidence.



but
i wasn't happy
with the
execution...
eero
will finish them
this week...
although
i haven't
given her
much time,
she does
have
a golden touch.



. . . . .

now for work
on my bird
for
off they flew.
more later
this week.

thanks
for all your
sweet
comments
this past week.
