dchenesBack on a somewhat more even keel again, and back at work again. Only 191 emails and I only had to do something about a handful of them. Thank goodness for After Graduation.
Having come home on Thursday, I went grocery shopping and did laundry on Friday, and generally didn't do a whole lot else except provide the cats with somebody to stare at and hang around with. On Saturday I went and got my hairs cut, which was an exercise in "I don't know what the hell it's doing and I'm fed up enough to shave it all off; make it shorter and give it a style, please?" So that's what happened. MUCH better. And I reintroduced myself to coffee as she is properly spoke; the coffee I had in Iceland managed to be weak and bitter at the same time. Besides, I needed the afternoon coffee to get myself back on Eastern Daylight Time, sort of. I still want to go to bed early, but I've stopped waking up at 3:30.
Yesterday was my youngest cousin's high school graduation party, so I went to that in the afternoon. In the morning, Snip finally decided I was actually me, and she brought me her puffball and curled up in my lap and purred like mad for an hour or so. Apparently I finally smelled like me again, because before that she wasn't quite sure I was who I said I was. Lily was mostly convinced by bedtime on Thursday, but she's been delivering a lot more orations than usual. Apparently I need to be told about all sorts of things.
It was a nice surprise to come back right into the start of cherry season. I see a lot of cherries in my future, because they're already pretty good and reasonably cheap. It's time to start paying more attention to not eating everything I want just because I want it. Part of that was a function of the stuff going on at work before I left, but the summatives and competencies are now done with, the Year 2 course directors have deadlines, and graduation is absolutely over. And I feel like I might be able to be better about what I eat without making a major battle out of it.
Onward and upward. Forward. Whatever. Lunchward, anyway.
