Awakenings, changes, transitions... good morning

[danaeris]

As deedeebythebay said, paradise lost.

Underslept, processing a tremendous amount of information and some incredible new experiences, ill prepared for the rest of the week, I crawled out of bed this morning.

I'm less confused by the minute. I'm drowned in work for the next week.

By that token, I'm hoping that by next week I'll be DONE. I have 8 chapters left, plus three final exams to write and grade. Then I can focus on all the other things in my life that I'm excited about. I can stop and think, I can relax, I can rest.

Today is the first day of my diet. I don't have time to look up weight watchers and learn the system, but in the meantime I can commit to eating as healthy as possible. As soon as the work is done, I'll set myself up on the diet, and then I'll finally go back to the gym. I'm very excited about that.

Conveniently, I have therapy tonight. We have a lot to talk about, a lot to process.

I may have lost paradise, but freedom is only a few steps away and there is so much to do with it. A list of movies I want to see, a mile long list of people I want to spend time with, a list of projects I want to work on. I can't wait.

Do you eat Thai food, and is it likely to be on your diet? Let me know when you're free from work heck and I'll take you out to dinner (and actually pick up your old iBook this time) if you'd like.
