odds and ends
FIRST: Beth got accepted into Grad School! Very proud of her - beyond belief proud. She'll be doing her Master's work there at Fairleigh Dickinson where she currently is attending and will be graduating from on May 15th.
SECOND: This is a text message I got from the lovely Miss Beth --- just a few days after her Grad School announcement:
"if alex gets a single room next year, how would u feel
if i was a "commuter" but lived in his room?"
Now - how would YOU respond to that?
THIRD: I was laid off from my job on February 8th. I am ECSTATIC. Truly, I am. I'm a little bit more relaxed. I've been going room to room around the house CLEANING. And I've been cooking - A LOT!!!! I find I actually like cooking a lot. I like experimenting and having it turn out really well. Also, I started writing again. The piece I'm working on right now is leaning HEAVILY toward being an autobiographical piece, so it may not see the light of day at the end of it all. IF I can find a way to turn it around and fictionalize it, then maybe - but we'll see. All in all, I feel very accomplished.
FINALLY: Friday I'll be turning 45. My feelings are very blah right now. I have not decided how I feel about it all. I'll let you know after the fact.
Thats it for now! :-)
How are y'all doing???
