so, those are Joe's instructions. He's leaving for Ohio today. He's been a good organizer and friend...it will be weird not to have him in town anymore. At least Amber and I got to drink mimosas with him in the office this morning. Catching a buzz at school is the best, by the way.
When I came in this morning Amber was writing a blog because a friend had left an anonymous comment that basically called her a selfish, flaky...bad friend.
I really can't understand that. This person has certainly known Amber much longer than I have...and doesn't seem to understand how hurtful and self-centered those comments were. I am impressed everyday with the amount of shit she juggles in life. A pre-nursing student with a 4 year old that serves on her church's district board, the ospirg state board(she's the fucking chair of the state!), a good friend, and a wonderful girlfriend. I'm proud of her. I feel lucky to be in her life.
I'm getting ready for big changes. I may feel a bit lethargic and overwhelmed right now...but it will pass. I'm excited for the future.
I've not been getting good sleep lately. I've either been sleeping very lightly and waking up many times in the night or just waking up way early and finding myself unable to get back to sleep. I feel spacey and run down. I don't know why I'm not sleeping. It's making school much harder.
