Mmmmmmm, my favorite. And let me add that the person who decided to include a timer on coffee pots is a god/dess, and I worship at his/her caffeine-saturated feet. Nothing quite like waking up to a full pot of freesh coffee sans effort.
Feeling very thoughtful and introspective today, probably due to the conversations I had yesterday/last night while out with the gang.
Things on my mind today:
1. Of course the massive breakdown of the data I’m using for my thesis. In other words, I have no data now and it looks like I may have to start over again. Big fat “yuck” here.
2. Work. Enough said there. Work.
3. My seeming cluelessness about the opposite sex. I had a long conversation with a friend last night, and at the end of it he asked me out. Now, we’ve never had a romantic relationship, and I’ve never thought about him in that way. When I told him I didn’t think it was a good idea, he was very offended. Is there something about my demeanor that screams “I’m flirting with you”? I smile because I’m a happy person, I hug my friends because I love them, and I’ll spend time talking to people because I genuinely care about what’s going on with them. Sure, it’s always flattering to be asked out by a very good-looking man, but I’m not leading someone on by just talking to them. I think….
4. I feel like I need a vacation. About every 3 months I get stir-crazy and need to get away for a bit. Last time I went hiking by myself for a few days, but that probably wasn’t a good idea considering the psychos that seem to hang out on the Appalachian Trail these days. I’ve noticed this feeling comes after a very “social” couple of weeks. Maybe the cabin next weekend, or possibly a meditation weekend at St. Ignatius. Hmmmm….sounds fantastic.
5. That thing that shall remain nameless in the blog ether. I think I’m done.
