Tripping

Yeah. So. Ever have one of those weeks where you realize that if you could just get out of your own way, things would be great? One of those weeks where your plans and outlook are changing so fast and so often than you end up with mild case of roller-coaster stomach? One of those weeks were all those puzzle pieces that have been driving you MAD for the last month because there just wasn't a place for them-- suddenly fit perfectly, and the puzzle is complete, and you really aren't sure how that happened, but okay? Yeah, me too.

I'm in an interesting point of my life. The end of my schooling is in sight. I just might get there in one piece, and with a few quality references, too. The ants are (for the moment) GONE from my home, and even my little Jack Sprouts are looking healthy again. I have two great internship opportunities on the horizon, both of which I'll be able to take advantage of, and I think I've managed to maintain a positive relationship with each of my future supervisors, even though every time I communicate with them, something changes and I get to trip over my own feet as I back up a step. I'm nearly caught up on school work for the semester, and the end of that-- too-- is in sight.

On top of that, I went to the bookstore yesterday and browsed their "bargain" section, and found a couple of things that I've been wanting, and will really find useful in the future... at really REALLY good prices. I got a phone call from my work-family last night, too, and they still absolutely love me. (I'm super glad of that, because I love working with them, and my schedule of availability just got complicated.) I have a great hike planned with friends this coming weekend. I had a delightful little bonfire last night. My official library-student blog is about to begin, and they liked my first couple of possible blog entries. And... my cat is sleeping peacefully in another room so I can type this without interference. It's a beautiful world.

Oh-- and I'm back to thinking I'll be a Children's Public Librarian... and work on my tapestry quilts (possibly as bags/vests, too) on the side to supplement that... and who knows, maybe someone will pay me to blog for them at that point, too. I'd love that. Blogging Rocks. It's all about the journey, my friends. It's also all about remembering to breathe and not getting too stressed until you know what direction you're actually headed. Then you can sit back a bit and enjoy the trip. Just don't forget to watch the road if you're the one driving.

And by the way, if you like corny movies and comedy-action-romances like I do...
I've added National Treasure to my list. Mazel Tov.
