Lately I've been....

  • wondering why I have the abilities I do in counseling others, but am super thankful I do.
  • enjoying spending time with my roomie.
  • hating reading again.
  • trying to catch up on sleep.
  • enjoying vegetarian potlucks with Zac.
  • missing Jason like crazy.
  • disappointed to discover that I can't come home in November because of school :(
  • excited that Jason is coming to see me in less than 5 weeks for 10 days - a crying wife on the phone saying "I can't do this" can make anything happen let me tell you... including getting a boss to add on extra vacation time that one doesn't have.
  • thinking about Kitty a lot and wishing she could be here with me.
  • not eating out as much.
  • working on me, and realizing that I am my own boss, not the other million people that surround me.
  • trying to slowly make the switch to some organic products.
  • breaking through others' expectations of me and it's been sooooo freeing to be angry about this!
  • looking ahead and scaring myself at all there is to do between now and May.
  • planning a support group for women sexual abuse survivors on campus that Erica and I will be leading together.
  • seeing clients and it's been an energizing experience!
  • so busy that I haven't even thought about my upcoming Disney trip in December (with that I just remembered that I need to book a flight from Moncton to DC - I'll be home for one week the first of January folks).
  • walking to EMU and not driving since it's only about 10 minutes away.
  • loving the space that Erica and I live in and can't wait for Jason to see it.
  • not wanting to blog.
  • trying to do things for me, and realize just how hard that is for me to pull off.
  • enjoying coffee way too much.
  • frustrated that my jeans are all too tight - I seriously haven't been able to stop eating since the cruise...it was so worth it though!
  • nervous about my upcoming trauma training in Baltimore that starts tomorrow.
  • wondering what I was thinking signing up for two yoga classes with Erica and Margaret that begin this week.
  • thankful to be me overall. Walking down the street, being thankful to be alive, and surrounded by the beauty I am down here is such a wonderful feeling. I'm going in to a profession that touches me, and energizes me in a way that I can't vocalize and that my friends is great success if I do say so myself!

Rachel: Yup, well I get one day off, but not both and not my internship site. So I will be down here. It does suck, but at least Jason was able to come down here so major crisis diverted. You're going to have a nice size baby belly the next time I see you!

Mandi: ha ha ha the potlucks have been fun. He only eats meat on weekends, but we (meaning I) have been too busy lately so they've come to an end :(
