stop this madness

had a good week, now i'm back down to earth and feel like i'm no further forward than a month ago. tho i am finding out who my friends are in more ways than one: several quarters have been conspicuously silent, yet help has come from those i thought wouldn't want to get involved (for which, thanks, i know it's been tedious). i just want this done and dusted, is that too much to ask? *sigh*

still, traffic lights look quite artsy reflected in a shallow pool, no?
