I am sitting in class waiting for the end of lunch hour and a half . The next afternoon session should be starting in an hour. I did two presentations this morning, and now I have very little to do for the rest of the course. The course ends tomorrow at 5.

Things have been quiet but busy for me lately. I have been going to the gym or the park for exercise on a nearly daily basis. Switching up high intensity cardio with low intensity and strength training different parts of my body on alternating days. Not sure how long this gym keener thing will last, but I am enjoying it at the moment. Weight loss has become jerky, but I am now down to 208, or a total loss of 53 pounds! I am having trouble keeping pants on, and what pants I do have totally do not fit. Woe is me. :)

My last practicum hours were last Wednesday, so no more commute to Dallas. Strangely enough, I have kind of missed the drive. Even though it was kind of a pain, it was also a variation in my schedule. I miss the traffic!

I am thinking about taking a walk in the park either Sunday or Monday. I need to get away sometime soon and reconnect to nature. I have been too wrapped up in suburbia and I feel increasingly alienated from myself. A low level of stress/anxiety that never leaves except when I step into the woods. I usually can feel the weight lift not long after I begin walking in the bushes.

Carol has begun lobbying for another kat, but I resist. Don't need another pest trying to sit on me at night. I think she is just jealous cause all three kitties will climb up on me an go to sleep leaving her catless!

Leaves are beginning to go golden here. The temperature is falling, frost happening, and I am not all that happy about that. Fortunately, it is not too miserable just yet. Some time in the next two weeks or so I will have to go get some pansies an plunk them into the ground. I never did get around to planting a fall crop of veggies, life just got to crazy back in September. I can feel things winding down already. Be nice to be able to let go of some of my stress for a bit in December.

oh. p.s. and another think, I will post a photo or two should I go out into the wilds next week!
