the beginning

today, i begin work...offering services to another for pay. three classes, a meeting, some planning, bus rides and walking. out at 8:20, in at 21:20. lentil soup for breakfast. an apple, yogurt, and trail mix in the bag. surely, i will snack an empanada or two, and when i arrive "home" they may have saved some asado for me. and i will eat it gratefully wondering if and when i will decide to not eat meat again.
