The past few weeks—

- started a job. love the job, love the people, love the location

- allistair got a job. starts tomorrow! long commute, good pay, good job

-started training for a half marathon. a little behind but determined to finish.

- my neck went out a WEEK before my insurance kicks in! ugh. out of pocket expenses. thank you numerous car accidents and chronic pain. it is awesome

- started school (only 4.5 years to go till i’m done). psychology of stress. ironic part? i have to take an hour long bus ride that where we are packed as sardines the entire way. also starting a statistics class that is online. the setup alone is causing me stress to address in my psychology of stress class.

- got my first pay check in 4 months. it’s already gone but the good part is that i hear a rumor that they come every 2 weeks.

- future father-in-law underwent successful kidney transplant surgery. after 4 long years of waiting for a potential organ, we got the call and it all went through. next: a long weekend in Spokane, WA with Allistair’s fam to visit pops. keep him in your thoughts/ prayers/ etc.

- joined second life. so creepy. part of my statistics course. i already learned how to fly, change my clothes, talk to strangers and was avatar-napped. if you are a second life nerd, find me (ome memo)
