Months of Nuthin’ New
It’s been a long time since the last post. I know that because I said the exact same thing on the last one. Ironically, I say that not much has changed but, you know, actually it has. It’s been a weird couple months. Let me break it down for ya:
1. I wrote the last blog as Andras was leaving Chicago. He’s back. And, actually, he’s been staying with me for the past couple weeks. It’s interesting. It’s been a long time since I’ve woken up and the garbage has been taken care of or the dishes done. Frankly, I like it. However, he took up the harmonica since he’s been here, so it could be a long week. On the other hand, I’ve come to appreciate “O Susanna” in a whole new way. He’ll only be here for a little longer, so I’m trying to get the most out of it while I can.
2. School work. Ah, sweet school work. It’s still here. BUT drafts have been done. I’ve got another draft to go but I’ve managed to stay somewhat on the schedule I made in August which, at the time, seemed nearly impossible. I’m not sure 1) what I’ve learned or 2) how it got done but it did.
3. My laptop computer crapped out; that was pretty exciting. Not only can I not get the hard drive out of the thing (so anything on there is hostage until such a time that I can locate a sledgehammer) but I had to spring for a new one. The new little baby is very cool. It’s 1) new 2) blue and 3) teeny in the best way. LOVE. IT.
4. Because of said laptop, I’m running low on cash. Also very exciting. I’m thinking, the flip side of the problem is that it’ll probably be an effective diet program. Yes folks…this is what an unemployed 33 year old looks like. Life is good.
While all of these things are fairly mundane, the good news is that nothing is traumatically bad which, several months ago, it definitely felt like. For once, nuthin’ new doesn’t seem bad…not bad at all.
