It's like watching grass grow.




Mrs. SP uses this term to describe my riding. Mr. MP thinks that I'm deaf because I don't respond to his instructions, "do I need to schedule an appointment with a doctor to check your HEARING?!" Look, it's not simply that I don't follow instructions it's just that I prefer to take my time rather than simply 'getting to it.' Right. It's something that I'm going to work on.

I've been in a much more upbeat mood lately. I think I've finally found my groove... and it's absolutely lovely to feel cheerful again. I'm not even intimidated by Mrs. SP as much, if she wants to be grumpy or snappy then that's fine, I'll just weed her gardens and try to find my way to her heart.

Miss ALN cut my hair yesterday. I nearly found myself walking into a $5 haircutting place but remembered that I can't really justify paying for a haircut. And then, in my adamant quest not to buy haircutting scissors at Walmart (evil) and in conversing with AVH learned that I already had scissors in my possession, unknown to me. Needless to say my hair feels extremely short and it's a bit strange, and I'm fairly certain that it's more than a bit uneven. I'm not too concerned though because it's usually pulled back anyways.

The girls have been wonderful and I'm so loving working with such a great team. It's nice to have some new friendships and to be able to share our difficulties and gossip with one another. I always wanted a group of friends where everyone was friends with each other. It's quite lovely.

I still feel as though the ground has been shaky with AVH. It's really a bit difficult to tell as he is on his way to Florida and we haven't been able to talk much. It's hard because I don't always know how to respond or what to say, and that's very frustrating for me because I want to be able to try to help him feel better about the situation. Hopefully my visit in 3 weeks will clear some things up.


...and perhaps most importantly, Rowan is being as wonderful as ever.
