Just trying to get through this thing called life.
It's been awhile. Just know I've been fine but today started off great at work, and now I'm crashing out with mistakes. Vacation cannot come soon enough.

Life has been funny lately, but I've confirmed a field placement, learned of a death of an acquaintance, and decided it's easier to let my siblings plan a family lunch than to get involved.

Just turned down an invitation to submit a proposal for a book chapter. Too much on the go right now. There will be other opportunities. I like the whole process - writing, submitting, editing, publishing - so I hope that in a year's time, I will have the breathing space to engage it again.

Facebook shared a memory of mine from more than 10 years ago, when I was commuting with a friend and colleague to Waterloo from Hamilton. I legitmately starting weeping because it was such a great memory of a great and profound time in my life. I miss that time and commute a lot.

I'm having more & more "I look like my mother" moments. I was always her "Mini Me". Lately, they've been to the point where I don't recognize my face as being MINE - I only see her(s).
Fairly certain there's something psychological there.

Watching ive tracking is wild. My delivery person has gone rogue so many times. It'll eventually get to me. The package has had quite a tour of Toronto.

Just downloaded everything for this term's professional development training. I find it amusing that I will be working on courses that are *exactly* my job.
(Not that I will be exceling at the assignments as there is a heavy focus on public libraries not academic, so there'll be a difference).

Behold, my anxiety yesterday was nothing more than a short burst of a storm cloud. Everything is now going okay. *Cue the orchestral Grieg piece*.

I'm having one of those days when I desperately need a hug, and there's no one around I can ask for one (because I'm at work) and no one at home to give me one. And even if I were to be hugged, I would probably cry.

For clergy friends who have 2+ hours free during this busy season of Advent for a phone call, we give thanks.
(Bonus thanks for those clergy friends who also know the back story for why I no longer attend church and don't question the current state of my spirituality).

Sometimes, I do things that astound me because I'm stubborn. Probably because I don't do the things, they don't get done.
It would be nice, though to have someone help me so I don't have to be so stubbornly independent all the time.

I survived another semester of my PD training. This means I will gift myself a new beautiful pierced hole in my head. I'm thinking a conch this time. Already have both daiths and 4 helixes. Currently have 13 (6/7) in my ears. Tattoo will be when I finish. Huzzah!

The perfect Christmas tree ornament for my nephew: $18
Flat rate shipping via courier due to postal strike: $20
Going to a pop-up store on the one day it's open, at the busiest public transit hub in my city at the beginning of rush hour: an Act of Supreme Love... that had better be worth $20.

I don't know who the original artist is, but I feel this sentiment daily. I'm staring down 50, and I still call my mother or talk with older friends because they're the real adults.

Christmas shopping is always a bit of a challenge when the December pay cheque comes mid month and has to last until the end of January.
