just returned home from visiting the family (and reroofing my aunt & uncle's place - the main reason i went on that little trip). as usual, the trip wasn't particularly relaxing due to all the running around to visit everyone. combine that with the labor involved with ripping off an old roof, replacing boards and laying shingles, it was a pretty tiring week and a half.
on returning though, i'm feeling a little bit re-energized and ready to hop back into job searching and settling into my routine / doing stuff that needs to be done. something, just to make sure i don't end up returning to my native "home".
what else? i accomplished nothing on my ancillary list that i wanted to get done while out of town. i didn't finish the book that i'm working on (though i'm already through 23 on the way to surpassing my goal of 26 this year) - so i didn't get to start the other ones i brought with me to work on. similarly, i didn't get any knitting done. all the emails i've been needing to get out also were put on hold....
there's a lot of stuff to catch up on this week. i have faith that i'll get through it all.
so, umm... i've been talking to a 19y/o from back around where family is from. i was trying to lay the ground work to meet so that i'd have another friend to visit while up that way. we had a pretty solid week+ worth of email exchanges, then thurs night (real early friday) had a super intense chat / cybering session. she said she'd like for us to get together next time i'm in the area. i'd really like that. she seems fun and sweet and really nice / good natured. we'll see if that leads to anything...
still listening to a bit of Emilie Autumn. i need to find her Ophiliac CD. i keep hearing songs from it that are amazing. she's such a haunted, hurt young woman... if her songs are as autobiographical as she says, it's a shame.
