On the bright side, Dad feels fine except for a swollen leg, so it's head and shoulders above our last hospital stay. (It did my heart good to see him wolfing his dinner down so fast I had to ask him to slow down tonight, after weeks of him having no appetite at all.) But the possibility of anything going wrong as the clot dissolves is going to have me sleeping fitfully until it's completely gone.
As Willow goes, so goes my nation.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I can imagine, Matt. I hope everything goes quickly and smoothly from here on out.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Fingers crossed, Matt. May the clot vanish and no new ones appear.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dissolve, dissolve, dissolve.
Such is my wish.
Weird to think I can hang out at krav as long as I want all evening, come home, watch a bunch of stuff on TiVo without any penalty in the morning. As long as I make my 11:30 optometrist's appointment, it's all good. I can job search after that.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Weird...or wonderful?
I get to go home soon, yay. I stayed late to pump out a memo. ION, jobs for philosophers came out today. Bob is on the market this year. It's weird thinking about moving to Philadelphia...or Birmingham...or West Virginia.
That last one is not going to happen.

I admit I don't want to start work right away, that I can afford to sit around a while. Well, I can afford to sit around a while if I know precisely when I'm going to start work, and can therefore budget instead of hedging my bets.
IT's not looking bad right now, and my recruiter's motivated, and friends are being v. helpful. But I'm so not the gambling type.
In the meanwhile, though, it's fun to visit the world a few of the other instructors inhabit--the ones that get a lot of money for teaching so they don't need day jobs or the personal trainer ones, or the actors, one one chick who's a high school tutor so she has a weird schedule, but summers off.
I envy them everything except the unpredictability. I wish I were better with ebbs and flows. I'm hopelessly conventional that way.

I envy you the morning thing.

And I'm a morning person. It's kinda wasted on me.
Nah, I'll be enjoying the hell out of it while I can. Just because I'm a morning person doesn't mean I actually want to do stuff then. I never want to do stuff, morning or no.

I want to not do stuff too.
Thinks about evening
Heh. Never mind.
