Teacher, It Really Is an Excused Absence

Yeah, I just fell off the face of the earth again. Since I don't actually think I have that many readers it's probably not a big deal, but I think I'm back. A few random reasons and thoughts:

1. Apparently this is "the age for that to start" for EVERYTHING unpleasant. I think I am also starting to become a hypochondriac, but I suspect that that can happen at any time. I do think I need to get an allergy test to see if I've developed any allergies, and should take more steps to improve my mental health.

2. Sometimes I wonder how I ended up with a man who is, in many ways, dramatically different from me. And then he up and blows my mind with how well he deals with the things I'm struggling with, and I realize I'm just damn lucky to have him. I thank him all the time, but it feels inadequate. Thank you again. Am I blowing your cover by telling other people you're secretly nice?

3. It might have been a bad idea to come to grad school directly from undergrad. I think I'm slightly burnt out, and am having a hard time dedicating as much effort to school work as it deserves.

4. SAN DIEOGO IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS. Ha, spring break. See point 3.

5. Josh Ritter is coming to Ithaca in April! I am obsessively plotting how to get there to see him again. Best show I've ever seen.

6. I dreamed last night I got married and Michelle Obama came to my wedding. She was old enough to have gray hair. Apparently it takes me a long time to befriend her before I can get married.

7. I need to do homework before I can do some doting on someone who deserves it. Bye!
