Old Soul, Young Heart

Yesterday's List (Day 21): With An Extra Hour in the Day, I'd... Sleep : I pretty much get plenty of sleep as it is, but ya know... Work out : If this hour happened to be directly before or after work, I'd use it to work out extra. I just can't get up and work out before going to work and, after work, I'm so hungry that it's often difficult for me to go for an hour to an hour and a half. (This is why I need to bring snacks!) Feel guilty : For not doing something more worthy of my time. Today's List (Day 22): My Care Package To You I don't quite understand this list, but whatevs. I guess if I were sending one, I would include... A card : I'm a card-sender, what can I say? Oreos : It's just a good stand-by. Beer Nuts : A local fav? EOS lip balm : Functional and cute. A crossword puzzle book : Mental stimulation. Gum : Fresh breath is everyone's friend. Playing cards : A communal cause. Hey, guess what?!  Today is 6 mon...

Life for now is getting more into a settled mode, I think. It's refreshing because for the past couple of weeks things have been crazy. In a few more weeks it'll be back to normal in basically every way. The book at work was really overwhelming for a little while. We sent it off to the publisher to approve some sample pages, and then when we get the go-ahead we can send the entire thing. I will be scared, but it'll be nice when it's completely off my hands. We had two graduations in the past two weeks. The old residents are done and the new ones arrive in a week. So, this week at work will be cleaning and tiding up and getting everything prepared for the new group. Once the new group starts, things will settle down quite a bit. And school started. I have yet to kind of find a schedule to get everything done. By the time class is over on Wednesday night, it basically already feels like the weekend and then I only have 1-2 days to finish reading for the next class! It...

I've been very bad about this blogging thing and it makes me sad that I haven't kept up with it. The trip really has had me in a whirlwind ever since I returned and it probably won't slow down until the end of September. I am constantly fascinated by how quickly time goes by. It's already been two weeks since I got back. It's been one day since Erin's wedding. It's been one year since Celeste's wedding. It's been six years since I met Philip. Holy crap. My life is literally flashing before my eyes, and I'm not even dying. (Or so I think...) I have some serious living to do in the next few years. I decided that about a year ago. Ever since I became okay with not getting married by a certain age and not having kids by a certain age it really opened up possibilities for me. I will go to England for a summer and I will go to Wilmington, NC or Erie, PA for a summer. I will move away for a job if I have to. I will do as the Romans do. I do not want...
