And here I sit. Back working the circulation desk of the town library. It feels like 2005. The same people, the same place, the same eclectic mix of patrons. Things are different, I am different, surely, but it's almost a deja vu. Excepting the fact that I'm $20,000 in the hole, have a degree and a smoking habit, the last four years could've never taken place. Or so it feels.
The job search in Vermont continueth.
My economics class starts next week (I finally got the book yesterday, whew).
My Ma and I went on the South Beach Diet this morning, and though I swore to myself that I'd never do it, I'm putting Sweet 'N Low in my coffee (and I'm drinking coffee now, which I never thought I'd do, either). I can't belive I'm depriving myself of fruit and bread and wine, even if it's only for a fortnight.
My doctor put me on Zoloft. Just like that. I mentiond anxiety and trouble sleeping, and she said, "Well, let's try an SSRI." Just like that. I always thought I was too good for pills, that my brain worked fine, thank you very much, but who knows. Life is stressful and anxiety runs in the family. Maybe it was time. Hopefully it helps.
It's starting to feel like fall, even though it's only September first. After Virginia, Vermont in general feels like fall. I like it. We'll see where this fall takes me.
