Friday Oct 3. I got a loaner robe which they said I could keep as long as I needed it. I need to clear my calendar for the retreat for the week. I’ll have to do some work I can’t get out of, but I might be able to call in a favor for some more relief. The folks at the center said my rakasu was very beautiful, They kept admiring it. I thought it was just ordinary which makes me wonder what other ones are like. Ok, I’ll accept unwarranted praise.
