Another lap around the sun successfully completed. Another check mark in the assist-sibling-during-move column. Another sigh of relief.
Amongst other accomplishments, I managed to get my CD-R to play nice under Linux yesterday. *grin*
Now if only I could arrange for a two-week vacation from EVERYthing.
Something about… my dreams? I don’t know what it is… but lately I’m thinking more and more about what I want. What I thought I wanted turned out to be rather a mess. What do I want now, and how do I know that it wouldn’t turn out the same way?
Last night was my ten-year high school reunion. It was nice to chat with so many people I used to see daily… nicer still to realize that we’re all more or less in the same boat. We’re building our lives and trying out new things and licking our wounds…
Somehow in the midst of so many good things, so many strange things seem to happen. One of my good friends was hit by a truck yesterday, for instance… WTF, over? I’m still trying to figure out why things seem to go well then horrendously… I’m getting sick, another good friend is sick… Bleah. I’d like a vacation from reality, please?
There are a lot of things chasing around in my head this morning.
I just finished reading Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card. Now that I’m done with my cry, I just want to say I wish I’d read that book when I was in the third grade instead of waiting to “discover” it at 28.
I’m overwhelmed… both by the significance of tomorrow… and the pain of so many yesterdays. I hurt, I weep, and I hope that I learn.
He lost his first tooth tonight!!! What an amazing first… *hophophop*
I’m looking forward to more of these… and I’m looking forward to the MS 150. What a great way to start my week. *HOP*
The upgrade is now “done” and I’m happy to report that no one was killed. *heh*
Now that I’ve got some leave accrued, would anyone like to offer a vacation suggestion? Please?? C’mon!
*winks*
