Looking Forward

I just read the new catalog for Nature U.  Dean Dharma has completely redone my major, so I'm not sure if I'm going to have to take all different classes or not.  She added credits to almost every major.  I'll be going to school forever at this rate. Well, I was going to go to school forever anyway, now it'll be forever and a day!  It looks really serious, with big words and the same rules.  I reread them anyway.  I have good news!  Good for me at least.  I turned in the paper for this unit of Ancient Rites.  I didn't wait until the deadline, July 31st, but got it in early.  Must be a fluke or the lingering effects of the Full Moon or something like that. 

I went to a dinner party tonight with my NAMI friends.  Jean Jeanie brought her fiance/boyfriend.  That was kind of a shock.  I didn't realize they planned on getting married.  It seems like she just met him, but they have known each other for many years, actually.  I'm friends with Star again, yay!  We've been best friends for so long, it's rough when one of us "goes off the reservation" and writes something stupid.  Email is not the best way to communicate. I've been kind of lax with my blogging this summer.  I'm supposed to go to town tomorrow with my mom.  We'll see. I'm not sleepy and it's what, 3:20am.  I will have to order yarrow sticks for I-Ching class in the Fall.  The class runs all school year.  64 Hexagrams, that's a lot to learn about.  I wonder if I get to write poetic responses to each one.  We'll see!

Still having some computer problems. Went to town today, exhausted. Doctor is putting me on a new drug for Diabetes. Saw Julie and Julia again last night, cute movie. Will write more another day. bye

A Going to Town Day

I make so many decisions according to how I feel, from what I wear to what I do. I haven't been wearing makeup lately or zip-up pants. Well, I did today because I had an appointment. I guess normal changes from year to year or season to season. I know since I've gained some weight I haven't felt as good about myself. I have all these jeans in my closet that are too small. Lame! I'm actually feeling better today, probably because I got out of the house for more than going to the PO and put on makeup and jeans, etc. I've been thinking way too much about my situation. I'm gonna have to move one of these days and find an apartment that takes kitties, not in that order. :) My dishwasher is broken too. So I actually washed some dishes by hand today. I'm kind of spoiled. I like to be as comfortable as possible on my fixed income. Maybe it's my Mars in the 4th house, but I tend to do a lot of stuff at home, plus decorating. Not into housework though, that gene didn't get passed along, the cleanfreak gene.

Today was a going to town, shopping and appointment type day. My mom always has to go like 8 places, only 6 today. Still, when I got home I took a nap. Muy exhausted. I live in the boonies, so the nearest "big" town is 20 miles away. It's always a trek, whenever we head for civilization. I live in a town without even one stoplight. We have a roundabout now though. Oh my! Lots of wildlife though. One of my cats killed a baby mole the other day. Poor little thing. It was left at the bottom of the steps by one of the kitties. The thing about days like today is I have no energy for anything else. I did do a little embroidery. My brother, Jed, was here for a couple hours using my computer. He mostly just reads news stories, weird news, or watches kitty videos. We visit. I do housework. It's nice having him over, most of the time.

I suppose I should say something about school. Mmmmmm... I think I'm too serious about school. It's one of the ways I motivate myself, like it's life or death if I turn my homework in on time. I need new ways to motivate myself, I guess. Have to work on that. All for now! bye
