Lines in the Sand

Last Wednesday I went down to the jetty to do the first part of my 3rd Prehistory project.  I still have to write a short story, luckily I already have an outline of that.  I made a geoglyph on the wet sand, a horse.  This was patterned after the Uffington Horse geoglyph in Wales, but a lot smaller. The tides have already erased it.

No one paid me any mind.

It was my mom's birthday on the same day.  I came down with a cold that day too.  On Friday me and my brother took Mom to the airport.  She is visiting relatives for a week.  My Uncle is having his 80th birthday party tomorrow.  Sounds like the whole county is invited!  I still have a cold.  I was planning a party for my NAMI friends, but I think I will postpone it 'til next week.

I pretty much worked out what I have to do for my Interfaith degree.  Alternative coursework (creative) for the rest of my classes, some electives, and a Master's Thesis, also creative.  Every time I think of applying to a new program of study I slap my hand because I just can't handle the coursework.  I may have a job one of these days.  Anything is possible!  I finally registered for Runes 5 and the year-long I-Ching class. That should take care of most of Divination, except for one class and the practicum.  If the I-Ching class is not a go I'm going to unregister from it. I can only do so much at my own pace.  I need deadlines!

Gratitude

I feel like a few things are finally moving forward in my life, although that may be an illusion. This might sound dumb, but I like a guy and I think he likes me.  I'm getting trained for a new job tomorrow, although I probably won't start working until August.  I have some of my bookmarks for sale.  I'm being optimistic, although I could be wildly wrong.  I even went to church today and had a good time.  I might start bible study on Wednesday.  I've been going to this church on and off for years and finally starting to feel comfortable there.  I'm not the most social person.  I would say my social skills are a bit rusty, if I had any in the first place!  Not much is happening on the school front.  I've been appreciating my unemployed lifestyle and having fun, doing my own thing, etc.  If there's anything I've learned about this year, it's gratitude.  I'm so grateful for my home, my kitties, my friends (on or offline), my family, my computer, just being alive.  I had a two and a half hour nap tonight after walking on the beach.  I feel pretty good!
