Sometimes, life is good.
It's September 11 - a day for remembering things that happened this day 6 years ago, but it seemed to me it made the whole country stop for a bit and remember what's important in life...and then we promptly forgot again.
Right now, life is good. I have good friends and a social life.. I have friends that I consider family, who love me unconditionally. I have a job and a house and the things I want. I have faith in my Gods and myself, and hope for the future. Even on bad days, I remember (though it's hard to say it on those days) that life is good and wonderful and there is much to be thankful for and rejoice in.

jaxontarl is coming to visit next month, and will be here for the Halloween Party extravaganza, and birthday cake. Last we saw each other, it was Pensacola, St. Patrick's Day weekend, a few months before
melstav and I got married. So....7 1/2 years? And the only reason I drove from Missouri down there was that I needed a break from the insanity of grad school and being sick all the time. And the morning I left Rolla, it was 32 degrees, and I didn't want to get out in the cold, but it was already 50+ in Pensacola, and a high around 70, and that motivated me to get up and drive.
Hon, that's way way way way way too long to go between visits. I dunno why either of us let that happen, but we shouldn't let it happen again.

Had a date last night. A bit awkward at first, but we got over it.
*grins*
A very good evening overall, and something I'm looking forward to continuing, with someone I'm enjoying spending time with.
And yes, that's all the details you're getting ;-)

Work is interesting these days, even if it is a mix of drudgery and real engineering. And interesting is good. Having three programs plus specs to work on is a bit stressful, but at least it allows for multi-tasking, which is key to me being able to stay on top of things and keep focused on what I need to get done.

I haven't been writing lately - I've been doing runes and nailing down the SpiralScouts office shut-down details.
And I am feeling the need to cook...haven't done enough of that lately either. Maybe I'll make cookies Thursday or Friday for enjoying while packing up the office this weekend. Or maybe something more than that...I dunno. Something though. And this fall will likely be prime time for cooking again, as it often becomes when the weather gets cooler.
