A rainy random update...
My spin class was cancelled this morning, which is dumb. I woke up with Fidget even though today is my day off, and I packed up everything to go to spin. Then it was cancelled. Boo.
It's rainy and miserable here today, which is somewhat of a downer on my day off. I'm going to need to reconfigure what I wanted to do today due to the weather and exercise, and then the studying for the exam.
Oh, finals! How I have not missed you in seven years! At like, all.
I think me and Fidget are in a state of limbo, or my own mindset has changed. I have the security that we're together, but I realize that I can't be his all. I have some plans for us this weekend, and we'll go back to our home on Monday night. While this trip was beneficial to Mimosa and Earlie Temple, I wonder if it's been taxing on Fidget due to space and time constrictions. We live in a single-family, 3bd/1.5ba house with two floors in the county. For the past week, we've been living in a 1bd/1ba apartment in the city. While it's comfortable here and I have found this sense of zen, I know we're on top of each other.
Also throughout this, I have realized I am not ready to be truly responsible for another life form yet. We throw around ideas of animals. I have always leaned toward dogs while Fidget is more of a cat person. However, this week, I've realized I don't want to be responsible for a dog right now. I'm still too selfish. I can share space with Fidget, but he can fend for himself. If I tell him to go away, he will. I just have not found comfort in an animal and I think it would be unfair to have one when we're working such long hours.
I realized my last entry was particularly depressing and harrowing, but I am hopeful that we will strike a balance in the new year. I did end up switching my classes so that I'm only in classes on Mondays and Wednesdays. I think this will give me some peace regarding the home and also give Fidget at least a night off. Monday

I'll need to do some serious reconfiguring in order to fit some exercise in there. My pass to Muzume expires on 1/13/14, so I am hoping that Santa will bring enough monies for me to renew again. It's $100/semester, which isn't bad at all, but it's still $100.
Speaking of activities, being in the city has lead to being much more active comparatively. I originally had an awesome big plan, but it ended up not panning out. Originally, I was going to walk the whole time and leave Onyx at the apartment. It would have added up to almost 50 miles of walking! However, on Monday, I attempted this and it failed. There's not enough time in 90 minutes to walk to Mimosa's and Earlie Temple's from the Starship, walk an animal, and then walk to Muzume. Everything was cutting too close. When I was attempting to walk to Muzume on Monday afternoon, I finally saw Onyx and sent a message to Fidget: "Saw car. Took it. Sorry. Love you."
I'm impressed now that I've written it all out. Saturday

I really think I'm going to see what the weather pans out for today. I do have some errands to run and studying to do, but want to get some exercise in. Maybe I'll look when it's just cloudy and Roo and I will go on the ridiculously long walk...
... maybe we'll even make it into a woggle.
