Life, the Universe, and Everything...

"He had noticed that events were cowards: they didn't occur singly, but instead they would run in packs and leap out at him all at once.” ~ Neil Gaiman

Right now I have a very VERY needy tabby curled up on my lap that is trying to make blogging as difficult as possible. And it seems he only wants loving when I pick up my computer. Evil cat.

Sometimes it's good to take a mental check. A moment to gather one's thoughts and reassess momentum. I'm trying to finish graduate school. Much of what I want for myself, my husband, and my family hinges on completing it quickly. Yet, I also know that finishing school never makes things "easier." If anything it only adds more complication and responsibility. (And don't we all just want to be Peter Pan and never grow up?) Right now I'm trying to take pleasure in the small things and attempt to "slow down" as much as possible. Meditation is helping a lot with that as is Martial Arts. I haven't been able to work out as much as I would like the past few weeks. Between Amanda dying, school approaching finals, work stress, etc...I feel lucky to have had time to sleep and do the dishes. Then to top it all off, I hurt my arm, further frustrating my workout:P

I lost 5lbs though since I started! (yippy!) I have to keep going and get back into shape. (I think I can! I think I can!) :D

Brandon is stressing out more and more with the oil spill in the gulf. Louisiana's economy depends on oil. (Say a prayer for us and all families that work in the oil field in the South right now.)

Currently Reading: Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman (it's my favorite book and I'm re-reading it) and the manga Vampire Knight.
