Entry the 18th
Yes, I counted before I actually began writing this entry. I must be getting smarter now that I am nearing forty.
Yikes, that's a scary thought. Only 2 and a half more years.
So, I picked up the Vampire Diaries season 2 today. I also got an iPod converter so I can listen to the iPod in the car. I'm not doing a ton of driving, but I'm doing enough that I'd like to listen to something other than the radio. I have yoga again tomorrow. I am going to get in to Bally's three times this week if it hare-lips every cow in the state of Illinois. And I've got a church activity every night this week. A good thing, I think.
I am starting to feel more comfortable as time goes by. This is a Good Thing.
I did some housecleaning today- the first time I'd done much in several weeks. Now that I have officially graduated with the second (mock) M.A., my mind is reminding me there is room for other things in it. Things like housework and cooking; thinks I normally enjoy very much.
Next week I start classes again- history this time, and I can't wait to get going on them. It will be so much fun to have them to think about! I haven't taken a history class in forever, and I am looking forward to these in a huge way.
My crush on Damon Salvatore is continuing. The first season was fantastic. I hope to start watching the second season either later tonight or tomorrow. I'm also slowly cleaning my room (which got a bit overdone the last few weeks) and trying to get things organized and together the way they should. My stock class was this afternoon, and I enjoyed it very much today, we talked about options, something I am very interested in getting in with. I've also got the books mostly printed out, and I will be going through them this week. I need some good lists that I can work with.
I'm also quite concerned for my darling incarcerated fiancee, as he was in North Carolina when the hurricane hit, and I haven't heard from him in some time. This is not a good thing. I tend to fly off the handle when we are not in communication. I hope he is OK. The attorney I spoke with last week sounds like a good one- hopefully we can get him home before too much longer. I hope so.
In the meantime, I'm trying to get my head wrapped around what to do with his father, now that the dementia is definitely a part of things. I have so many questions, and I don't know what to do with it. I've got a meeting with a friend from church who was in the same situation several years ago and has offered her help. I hope she can point me in the right direction.
So, it's shower time, and I need to get with it, or I'll be up too late and won't want to get up for Yoga tomorrow. I need to do some major library work tomorrow. Maybe I will start with the Morning Pages again. That would be so helpful. I have a ton of things I could write about that would help to clear my mind. It needs to start somewhere.
