it was nice being back at next today. missing that week left me feeling out of wack. i went out for lunch with a bunch of the students afterward, which was fun and a nice way to end the season. i'm pretty sure that everyone around that giant table (and i'm not exactly sure because i didn't conduct a survey) is moving at some point this week. this is an odd time of year. i'm glad though that the majority of them are coming back in the fall. now that i've said good-bye to all the youngins i feel ready to move on to my next stage. that's good and i feel relieved. i also went to big house skateshop with meghan, i've always wanted to go in there but felt i didn't know the secret handshake. she gave me 3 hugs today! i also got one from michelle and melinda, but i think mindy's counts as 2. so i guess that makes me emotionally healthy, for today at least.
i walked home in the rain. it matched my mood. when i walked in the door, melinda said to me "what's wrong?", i started to cry. we sat down to talk over a cup of tea, then rhonda called and i started crying again. i had the two of them telling me in stereo "it's NOT stupid". i guess if your friends are going to gang up on you that's the ideal way. i appreciated that they validated my feelings. i'm going to be ok. its going to be ok. i suppose my move couldn't be coming at a better time. i'll start fresh in a new place. in the maxi pad (i've coined my new place the maxi pad – tribute to my fav movie reality bites). i'm all in a dither how to paint each room. i think what i'm going to do is take photos, then use photoshop to change the wall colours and decide based on the results of that experiment. my instincts tell me that i need to hurry to get my house semi-finished or set-up, but i'm going to try and remember, there's no rush. the process is part of the pleasure. i feel that way about knitting sometimes, i get so excited about my project that i rush to get it done then feel a little disappointed when its all finished because i enjoyed working on it so much. michelle dropped off my completed bag. it looks great, i'm going to really enjoy it. THANKS SO MUCH MICHELLE!
i won't forget you
at least i'll try

linds, how about... umm. i'm fresh out of ideas. i'll have to see it to feel inspired. i hope you're enjoying your new digs.
alison :) i'd love your help, or even just your company while i paint. we could take breaks and play frisbee in the park across the street.
