flitting
We had our open house at our new place in Peterborough yesterday - it went really well, I thought, although I would have liked to be able to stop time a bit so that I could have spent more time with everyone that showed up - I felt constantly torn between wanting to go play with the babies or talk to my mom/sis/niece/etc and other friends…. tried to spend some time with everyone but it just didn’t feel like enough. It was GREAT that so many people came though.
Pretty lazy day today - I’ve been ill for several days now and needed a lazy day and - aside from a few brief bursts of energy during which I managed to get quite a bit of our stuff moved upstairs to where it belongs (now) - and tell Ross where I wanted things hung and so forth, mostly I’ve just been mucking about with my Farmville farm on Facebook- did a complete redo; changed the layout and bought a barn; all sorts of fun and totally nonproductive stuff.
Cooked up my lamb sausages for dinner - bought them at the No Frills up the road meaning to cook them and put them out for the open house yesterday but just didn’t have time. They were REALLY REALLY good though! Ross enjoyed them too, even though he had already said he didn’t much want anything to eat.
School starts tomorrow; no classes this week, but lots of orientation activities. I already have the certificate re: being a TA so don’t need to attend those sessions - but still meetings and social events I should go to. Am looking forward to getting going on my PhD - SO much to learn - but with a bit of luck and a whole lot of work, hopefully I too will be as knowledgeable - and self-assured as many of the people who are further along and intimidated the hell out of me when I met them at various events this summer.
Perhaps someday it will be my turn to intimidate the hell out of others LOL
I have no doubt you’ll do swimmingly.
