here's to crazy non-winter; delicious malaysian desert (and dinner!) that i enjoyed with my friend ashley last night at penang in harvard; looking forward to buying tons of books with my $50 B&N gift card; getting a cute ass calendar for the living room that you will all enjoy for like $3.50, cause everyone knows calendar buying goes out of style past jan 1st; getting cute as hell messages on the phone from not drunk anymore larry being all cute and apologetic about being a weird little amnesiac drunk last night, and now that he loves me once again, the current status of things is, of course, adorable.
i'm getting anxious about having told a million people that i'm definitely going back to school, along with my 6 - 18 mos of planning in various stages. only because the idea larry is pushing about moving to someplace warm and cheap and wonderful, and help locals and write our book sounds so too good to be true, but were it to become actually feasible, would be way too good to pass up.
particularly with Sabrina having departed for NZ (my god, it's finally happened, go girly) and rememebring to check Sam's WOOF round the world adventure trajectory, going places feels RIGHT.
i will be going to check out the Salem Street Studio down the street from my house where they have yoga and various martial arts instruction, to see if i can sign me up for some classes.
i need it sorely. ive decided to include climbing/descending the 14 flights of stairs in my work building as daily exercise, but that alone won't do. going back to Dahn really felt like a sure thing, and i may still sing up for a 10 class whenever plan, just so i can go every now and again, but since it takes me about an HOUR to get to davis, not to mention the ride back home, we're looking as a serious time crunch here. and despite me loving them, it doesn't make it any easier to go.
i think if the salem street place looks and costs decent, it will make more sense for me to say take up martial arts, and have it be so close to my house, rather than commute from Longwood to Davis to Medford Sq. ugh.
I will be going home to NH to visit the parents and my grandmother especially, whose failing health never ceases to make me wonder how much longer i will be able to enjoy her company, and makes me all the more anxious to see her. she is the woman who raised me from my earliest years, and i just hope she enjoys every comfort she has to the last. but at 86, with severe parkinsons, and newly diagnosed diabetes, 20 years of problems with hernias, her feet so swollen she can barely walk, and debilitating back pain, all do not paint a pretty picture for poor grandma-ma.
i feel that so many of my friends and acquaintances are dealing with ailing or dying or passed on family members right now...
seriously.
it always comes in waves.
anywho, i did start my post on a positive note, and i will leave with such as well.
mostly, i just wanted to say i like my job. i really do.
and that is a wonderful thing to be able to share and experience. i only hope it continues to be so.
*grin*
i hope your days are going by just as swimmingly...
good points,
like my job,
cuteness,
family,
happy,
grandma
