(no subject)
I imagine the cosmos are trying to give me a clean start this month. On one hand, Brandt and Sydney both moved away and they're off to start their latest chapters of their lives too (also, RIP Joe Ramirez). I think that as more and more people progress and move on with their lives, and as the ties that bound me to the past begin to fade away, I am given more permission to progress with mine.
Anyway. I have this terrible habit of burning the candle at both ends and spreading myself too thin. At the moment, I'm volunteering both for Silver State Fair Housing (making sure renters aren't bigots) and for the Harry Reid campaign (I called 130 numbers the other day, 25 of which actually picked up). And I've started grad school legitimately (the UNR Financial Aid department forced me into 3 classes instead of 2 and still fucked me over on my grant - this will be a future rant). Plus the day job and parenting Mira. Occasionally sleep is involved.
You know what though? I feel more productive than I have in years. I'm starting to pursue my dreams and live a life that speaks to my passions and values, step by step. And this is progress. I sort of forgot what that felt like for a while.
Mira's been crawling for a couple weeks. I expect her to be walking around a table within a month.
Christina's best friend and her mom spent the weekend here. Good times (especilly since I went to sushi but not drinking with them).
