So here I am in a familiar situation...my husband has gone to bed and I'm up tooling around the internet. It gets lonely, especially after more than a year of this. Since I've been back in school, it's been different, better. But I'm on vacation again, (still without job...though hopefully the interview yesterday will put an end to that) which means I do little with my days and less with my nights. Maybe talking out into the ether will give me something to do. :) It's good for me to be writing, even if it's not the kind of writing I want to be doing. If qualinestron is reading this, I want the part of the brain that lets me write back! Can we share at least?
The year is off to a good start I think. I had fun at frommy 's party, and playing bartender let me sample all the expensive drinks I can't order from real bars. Turns out I'm pretty good (so people told me) even if slow due to my hands. I still think my own concoctions taste better and are more fun to mix than the official stuff though.
I've had some good long talks with people I haven't spoken to in a long time. I think the fact that everyone had a rough year last year is causing people to reconnect. I'd still like to hear from more people though. I could use more old friends, since my grad program is not very condusive to making new ones.
This is all sounding vaguely depressive. I'm actually in quite a good mood, just reflective. I've recently discovered that there is an ice skating rink two blocks from my house that is free with $2 skate rentals. I've also discovered that despite my many knee and foot injuries I can still skate passably, once I was willing to actually move my right leg! :) Can't try anything fancy though, or I'll fall. I'll get there though, cause at $2 a pop, I should have plenty of time to practice.
Enough for a first post I think.
