I've felt really crummy all day. I overdid it yesterday. I didn't do anything I shouldn't have, like lifting or anything; it's just that I had too long of a day, was out too long, etc. So today I've been extremely wiped out. My legs have not been good and my feet have been tingly and my feet have not had good sensation. So I really do need to be careful on how much I do and I need to understand that even if I'm feeling reasonably well there still are these limits on my health. (I have several spinal stenosis, have had a couple of spinal diskectomies and fusions, in the thoracic and cervical, in recent years). Plus I have several other conditions, like fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis. The will is there, but the body is weak. So today I'm paying for it... big time.
Back to the addresses. I've also been proofreading recipes for the family cookbook and sort of switching off between doing things, but I'm too tired right now to proofread recipes I think, so I'll do the addresses.

That's it for the addess for now. The other addresses have to do with either things like refugee work, individual contacts, that I decided not to share here, and addresses for things that might be logistally useful, such as embassies to get visas, and the like.
But the average person isn't going to have a list like this by any shot of the imagination, and wouldn't have had during the 1980s either, and I expect that if anyone in the Vienna mission had anything like this list it might have been maybe the director and his secretary. Otherwise, no one would have had this kind of knowledge and this kind of knowledge would have been strictly discouraged as part of the need to know secrety rule.
But what do you do with someone who comes with this kind of knowledge? I certainly didn't have any of the addresses or phone numbers memorized or anything, but I had a mental map of the general layout of what what going on in missions in Eastern Europe. It would be hard, you must admit, to take that away from me. So if they wanted someone to come to Vienna as a tabula rasa... well then, they should never have accepted me, because there is no way I could ever be that tabula rasa. I already knew too much before I came.
