Planet of the Pugs
I've been thinking about updating this thing for a few weeks now, I guess just wanting to say something...somewhere.
Since my last post, I've spent 3 months in Colorado, hiked probably close to 50 miles, helped handicapped adults waterski, got deathly ill with giardia, ran and kicked ass in a 4 mile race, dog sat, started school, taught a climbing class, did a pull-up (and a half!) and grew like tree roots into Boulder, CO.
It's an affinity I guess isn't surprising considering how well the activities available and general atmosphere just meshes well with...well, me. I miss the Daily Camera, where there was always such happy news. I've read the Sun for the past week and I've gotten goosebumps on more than one occasion after reading about a double stabbing one day, a sex offender intruding into a little boy's bedroom, and what have you. That's scary stuff. I got goosebumps in Colorado when I would drive through a beautiful canyon or summit a mountain. It's amazing that two very different thoughts can produce the same physical reaction.
Anyway, enough of the sentimental crap. Life is good. I'm going back to CO in less than two weeks to be with Brandon. We'll go camping, no doubt. I've started work on my senior thesis, which, with all my other work and multiple jobs (4 if I count them correctly) is a bit overwhelming. Not to mention the extreme displacement I've felt in addition to separation anxiety these past weeks since I've been home. I said I wasn't going to be sentimental anymore.
Right, so...none of this is bad! Life really is good. I don't mind the work and I've been taking lots of time for myself, just to relax. This whole displacement thing will be over tomorrow and I'll see Brandon sooner than I know. And I'm moving back to CO in June so there's absolutely nothing to worry about. :) It might seem like I'm a basketcase, but the time I'm taking to just chill is definitely helping to decrease the stress I might normally have from all of this. And that is good.
I love pugs. Seriously. Sometimes I can't stop watching pug videos on YouTube. It's a problem. Just search for the subject title in YouTube, it's the cutest thing. I laugh every time I watch it. Kind of like that bunny commercial a few years ago...I'm smiling already.
Dinner and movie with Pa tonight, then back to Ma tomorrow. Excellent!
