adjusting to brendan being in school is beginning to be a challenge. things are great for him, and i'm very happy for him and pleased. for me, i get to experience change without all the positive perks. last night i felt sequestered in my room - unable to watch tv on his computer (because it was in use - mine is too slow for tv online), play music (loud and distracting), watch a movie, and we don't have a dtv converter so our bunny ears no longer work. besides b was studying in the living room, so i wouldn't be able to watch tv anyways. it felt a little like being single again but without the room to move in my own space. after a few hours of me struggling to express my feelings of boredom and loneliness, b and i managed to have a very productive conversation about it. it didn't occur to him that this change will be difficult in any way. at least not for me. i'm sure it will take some time to figure out our new dynamics. i'll soon have plenty to do and will be enjoying a new routine.
storytellers started up again this week. it was great sitting around rach's big table once again with friends. reading and writing together.
this weekend we're going away for a church retreat. all of next is taking off to echo lake camp. last time there wasn't a lot of accomodations, so we're going to stay in our little pup tent. that should be fun. i hope it's warm enough! i look forward to camping again. the idea of spending the whole weekend with people is a little overwhelming, and i hope that i'll have enough peaceful low-key time. i'm sure having our own tent/private space will help. there's going to be a talent show tomorrow evening. being a person without performing talents i decided to show some before and after pics i've created. i've turned it into a bit of a game, that i'm sure even the kids will excel at. i'm pleased about that. the funny thing is that as i thought about explaining what i do, i realized i could go on and on about it for quite a long time. but i'll try to keep it short. we have the whole weekend for those interested in ask me more about it.

so now i am older,
than my mother and father,
when they had their daughter,
now what does that say about me.

I found that cordless headphones were a great way to do noisy things without disturbing my roommates. They can be a bit pricey, but perhaps someone(s) might consider them for a gift? I wish I hadn't sold mine, or I'd lend them..
