Snow

It snowed yesterday. I couldnt believe it. It looked peaceful, serene, like a beautiful Winter day, only it was the end of April.
My life has changed so fast and so drastically. Days of academia are behind me. Thankfully. Yes, thankfully. Now, thankfully.
.My break of April is almost done so now the real work at finding work begins. Or maybe the worry begins? I wouldn't let myself worry about it until after April. April was my recovery month. I came home wounded and needed to lick wounds. I think I am ready now. I am finally bored. That only took 30 days. I do have an apartment so that's settled. What goes into said apartment is dependent on employment. I can live simply for a long time. I will have my books and my shoes, shouldn't need much else. I just keep reminding myself of my original goal with this transition: to make my world smaller, stronger, and more stable. So far I am doing pretty well.

Spring Wisconsin Style

Well, I am back in the Midwest. I am still adjusting to the fact that I am now in the same time zone as many of my friends and to the idea that 50 degrees is nice out, but overall it's been a pretty smooth transition. I decided in my little break to tackle some craft projects and baking. I bought materials to make a double sided UW La Crosse fleece blanket for my nephew's high school graduation present and yarn for an afghan which will be done after the scarf and shawl I am working on. Tomorrow I will attempt to make cake balls for my birthday cake. Maybe I will put some pics up next week. I am looking for some good books so if you have any recommendations, let me know.
