A Little Rambling

Oh, my poor blog, how I have neglected you! Today was such a lovely day that I decided to drive home the long way.  When you remember that I work 30 miles from home, you realize that the long way is really long.  But it was so worth it!  The sky was that lovely autumnal shade of blue.  Maybe it's just me, but I see the sky differently during different seasons, and there's a special hue for both sky and clouds that just means it's fall.  Anyways, the weather was so gorgeous that I didn't want to waste a drive on the freeway.  Since I work so far away, the "wild desert" is only two miles north of my normal route.  Not terribly wild, but you can drive without stoplights or seeing houses for quite some time.  It was a great choice. So, student teaching and working and job hunting and trying to sleep, eat, and have a life have kept me rather insane.  I'm really looking forward to three days off next week for Thanksgiving!  I realized durin...

I often compile lists (of a single item...is that still a list?) with arbitrarily assigned numbers, eg. "Reason #412 why I will never join the army," or "Reason #275 why I am destined to become the crazy cat lady." Tonight is a reason why I wish not to be single: so that I have someone I can call and say, "Come hug me for an hour.  You don't have to talk, just come hold me and breathe with me, and things will be better."
