Uh oh...

Oops! It appears that I've fallen behind in my updates... Oh well. I'll catch you up, as best I can.

I've been swamped in a rush of events and activities that I planned for work. Some have been really great, others... not quite so. For the most part, it's been going well.

A lot of my happiness these days comes from driving. I get more comfortable every day in my skills, even though I know I'm still not really ready for big city driving, I think I'm starting to get there. I love driving late at night, when there's no one on the road, and the world is entirely quiet... it's just me and some tunes, hitting the highway. Driving at night has a way of taking my brain and hitting pause on the inner monologue. I stop worrying about things to do, and whatever issue I'm working on, and let it all just get left behind in the dark.

Of course, it does always end up catching up to me... But it's after I park the car. I just love getting that time where my only awareness is on driving, and the road.

Other than that, things are alright. I get lonely every now and then of course, but I prefer being lonely to have everyone back home and crowding the house. I love being able to have people over any time I like and not getting bothered, and I love the time to myself... most of the time. There really are nights where I scare myself silly though, but usually I just crank up some music and chase all the shadows out of the house.

I've been seeing people plenty, though still not as much as I'd like... but that's been keeping me reasonably sane. I'm planning some fun trips for next week, so I'll let you know how it goes!

3 weeks until leaving for Ontario... who's excited?! (Imagine my hand shooting into the air... a la Hermione Granger.) - And if you people did not get that Harry Potter reference, you have no business reading this blog!
