These are the days of miracle and wonder...
I just love Paul Simon; I forgot how much until I started listening to "Graceland" again, which is one of my top 5 desert island records for sure. It's been quite a few weeks, that's for sure. Friday Adam and I went up to Lafayette to see Ben Folds at Elliot Hall, which was a lot of fun, not withstanding the fact that we had the WORST seats in the world. But we've been vaguely (this is an understatement) following college basketball and missing campus life, so it was nice to get up to Purdue and wander around a bit. Promptly after that I became DEATHLY ill, but what else is new: it's me.
My life was a bit jarred after we found out about Douglass' diagnosis, and it's been kind of like living in a snowglobe with all the politics and wedding plans and everything else swirling around our heads. I feel like I'm starting to catch my bearings again, or maybe it's just that as you get older you learn to be more flexible about somethings because there's only so much you can control. We have a new manager now, and last week I got rear-ended TWICE in 24 hours. But these are just things... I'm learning to be flexible. It's so silly that when you're in college you think you know everything, and then when you graduate you think, "well wasn't that nice, not having to deal with real life? this is much harder!" and you think you know everything again. haha. But I will say that having a job that routinely puts me at odds with men who are twice my size who think nothing of snapping me in half because I won't roll up my sleeves the correct way (autism) puts things in perspective.
Anyway-- wedding planning is going fairly well, work is going so-so, though we're all struggling with the change of a new boss. (Not that she's bad, it's just a change.) Adam and I finally found a place to live that we're excited about. We're ready for summer. Oh yeah, and I leave for Disney World in two days. For reals.
