Hello Everyone!

I miss Texas and I love Boston. I have heard from more than a few Austin friends this week and it makes me feel so lucky and charmed that people still keep in touch when I am out of sight. Reinvented friendships in Boston are starting to bloom as well so in general I am a bag of mixed emotions.  I do appreciate and value the relationships in my life perhaps more that ever before. People are great.

I'll leaving for Brussels tomorrow - off for a week at the European Juggling Convention in Carvin France, camping with 200 jugglers under the French moon (will it look different?) and then a week in Paris with Robby and some more Jugglers in an apartment in the 6th ring. I'm so excited about the trip I could juss spit!

I'm nervous about flying and I hope I'll be able to sleep on the plane. Robby had recommended I take Melatonin on the plane.  I tried some melatonin the other night and did not like it at all! Very weird feeling and groggy all the next day so I'll have to try it Au Natural : )

Everything with the car accident has been resolved and I feel glad that it is over. It was not my fault and the other driver took full liability and his insurance paid for my car. No one was seriously hurt - although I still get weird aches and pains and wonder where they derived from - but I think that I'll be ok!  I am starting over without a car and without enough $$ from the insurance company to really buy one (although it did pay off the balance due with Ford) so it will take some adjustment.  I don't mind the T and I do like the added walking and exercise so maybe everything really does happen for a reason?

Please email me with your address if you would like a postcard - I'm sure I will be able to check my email at least once while I am in France so go ahead and send me your info even if it's after tomorrow. You can send your emails to postcards@katyshea.com.

Big shout outs to Cyndi, Ilene, Paula, Deborah, Shannon, Cynthia, Rona, Justin, Kik, Poo, Nin, Lori S. and all my peeps in the 617, 781 AND the 512.

XX,
Katy
