So, along with life's little irritations (coffee mug caps that insist on snapping out of place) and life's more medium irritations (my car failing smog) I've gone through some major life changes as well, most of which involve saying goodbye to an almost husband, moving back to Davis, acquiring a cat, and being recognized as a cosigner on an expensive car loan. So, it's been a season of change to say the least. I could write much more about these events, and other significant events as well, but I feel like I've hashed over this serious stuff to so many people (and across so many emails and chats) that I don't even want to recycle those thoughts through my head so they can transmit themselves from my mind to my fingers to the pixels on this screen.
In other news, perhaps I shall resort to my old style of journaling. Regression for the win?!?
N-noticed the fall colors are extra vibrant this year-all over Sac and the East Bay. Can't help but want to jump in the leaves at every chance I get, though I could do without those funny looks from people.
O-Ordered an excellent spicy tuna roll at Manpuku with Mary and Jessie. The roll was crowned with the awesome seaweed salad stuff that had a texture akin to cellophane noodles.
V- Vixen comes to mind, mostly because it's a word I don't often say (or type) and because it's a V word I have not used recently. Though, now that I wrote that, I'm sure there is another V word I could use that would be much more interesting. Perhaps the midnight hour has robbed my brain of its creativity. Or perhaps being uncreative is just my normal state.
E-Extraordinarily proud of myself for plugging through the majority of my Cognitive Development presentation tonight. It's interest how I appreciate intense academic work once I get going.
M-Mary really cheered me up today. I'm hoping that she will be able to come up to Davis in December, hopefully along with Emy and Jess. Her quarter ended the week before Thanksgiving, so she has a full 6 weeks off between quarters, although she is still seeing clients.
B-Been feeling overwhelmed even though I feel things should be slowing down soon. I can't wait for the quarter to end and have time to process, think, and feel to an extent which I have not been allowing myself to do. I'm also hoping to spend some renewing time alone-either taking a trip somewhere for the day to think or walk or write, or just hold up in my room. With epic amounts of Big Bang Theory and those new books I bought.
E-Embers makes me me think of Ewers, which is Nancy's last name. How grateful I am to have her support and friendship. We're planning to coordinate dessert at the LMS dinner. What to make? I'm think of making dream bars, but there is also a brown sugar soft cookie I've been wanting to try.
R-Reading this great book by Jacqueline Carey called "Kushiel's Dart" although my leisure reading time has been sorely lacking this quarter and this Thanksgiving break, in general. Mayhaps after this I will read.
2 current irritations-incessant chatter and extra long underwear tags that graze teasingly against my tush.
6 nights ago, something that I was hoping would happen DID happen (quite unexpectedly!) What a great feeling, and what a beautiful memory I have to sustain me during future struggles.
Jesus this whole post feels emo, though it was not my intent to sound as such. I blame coursework and sleep-inducing tryptophan from the turkey. Gobble. Gobble Gobble.
