the usual
As usual, it seems to have been about 3 years since I've written anything here :) Life is pretty good, although gathering stress at an alarming rate. This semester is hectic with multiple large projects all due at about the same time with multiple little projects due almost everyday. Other than that thought things are going well. I've started swimming in the mornings and I'm surprised at what a good workout it is! and you don't end up feeling all sweaty and gross afterwards. The days are staring to get shorter, the nights longer, and everything is getting colder in general. Coming from the midwest to the pacific northwest, I was not used to days being 100 degrees and nights being in the 50s. Plus the days really get short!! I don't think I handled it very well last year, but hopefully this year, with exercise, and some UV light once in a while, it will be better. Coming up in November, I get to go to a dear friend's wedding in FL, and I'm presenting at a national conference in San Antonio TX. Yay for visiting warm states :) My man D and I went camping about a month ago in a beautiful part of Idaho out in the middle of nowhere. I got to try fly fishing, got stuck in a boggy marsh and did not bring warm enough clothes for the chilly chilly nights. It was great fun though, and here are some pictures.
This is a historical marker on the drive home.... ahhh history.
