FOTOS Y RECUERDOS

monday has not gone as planned. not to say its not going well...

i woke up this morning lagging before i even got out of bed. not sure what it is. im starting to think age may be affecting my abilities to travel. i'd rather believe it has to do with recovering from the respiratory trauma of last week but who knows. not to mention a nice little ol' cold front rolled right on through last night. it was brrrr rabbit.

alot of travel in recent weeks and more to come in the weeks that will follow. i can say i'm excited about the next few trips on the books! those of you who have known me for any extended length of time, know that i pretty much spend more time everywhere else in Texas than where ever it is that i'm living (with the exception of the last school year).

But even then, i did alot of day trips to Brownwood while my sister and fam were living there and trips up to LBK to visit my bro. i'm a travel-holic: i think. my last extended travel stint was my texas tour before moving further north. this last months travel, consisted of going back to angelo - several trips there.

so its really no big deal for me to drive three hours somewhere and back. i've even done dallas like that...yes, it's crazy i know. but hey, you do what you have to do.
i'm sure i've given the impression that i'm home sick (with all the trips back to angelo). uhhhmm, yeah - not necessarily so. don't get me wrong - miss lots of people who live there but i also love where i'm living now and honestly, really do like it here. however, i left in such a hurry that i didnt necessarily tie up loose ends when i moved out here. i mean its been whirlwind since getting back from Europe.

so now - i'm paying the piper and having to take care of those things that are pressing and tie up loose ends - things like car maintenance, paperwork, sending stuff to storage, etc...i still have a closet full of cloths at my parents house, so im trying to get rid of excess while keeping the necessities. its taken more time than i realised it would.

i made some decisions which drastically affected my current situation so i've been working on sorting out those details and that takes a bit of time. not anything drastic or bad just working at making some changes and being smart about the future.

so that means another big change come the start of the new year. all good stuff but it will be a while before i see the positive effects. it does however, create some shifts in the present that arent always fun but they're necessary. i love adulthood....lol

trying to get back to san antonio to visit friends. hopefully that will go down during thanksgiving weekend. will keep you posted.

there's a couple of things i wanted to address but its late. might have to wait until i have clarity of mind. took a nap today and that threw me a bit. definitely left me refreshed and ready to finish out the day. deadlines are getting a bit intensive as we barrel towards the holidays. can't believe the semester is coming to a close in a few weeks. feels like just yesterday we were kickin off orientation. i'll be 1/3 of the way through with my MBA at the end of the semester.

had some really hilarious conversations today. just gotta say that laughing is sooooo where its at. I posted the following quote on facebook.

Laughter gives us distance. It allows us to step back from an event, deal with it and then move on. ~Bob Newhart

ain't that the truth. something about being silly with girlfriends that know you well that can give you a new spin on things...well that and cake! lol.. but that's a story for another time. life is crazy but for the moment, its good!
