sereneHome from San Diego. Best and most peaceful visit ever, but that doesn't mean I'm not utterly thrilled to be home, especially after driving all day to get here. I drove probably 1200 miles this week. I'm so over it.
Mom is well. Dad is well. Out-laws and outlaw niblings are well. San Diego is a great place to be from. Ate all the shellfish. Shopped all the discount stores. Brought home all the things.
When I got home, the kid had cleaned the whole house (I mean really clean, including my terrible desk area), and bought food and birthday ice cream for me. I ordered dim sum for the family and we hung out companionably.
Today, I turn 45. Tomorrow, I go back to work. The next day, I start school (squee!). Things I want to do in this coming year include:
1) Kick butt at school
2) Increase my fitness and flexibility
3) Start a container garden
4) Get out of debt
I feel really optimistic about my ability to do these things, but I'm also feeling pretty philosophical about it all. I'll do what I can, and the rest will be as it is.

Date: 2011-09-21 03:25 am (UTC)I am also thinking about starting a container garden! I have been doing a lot of reading about shade-tolerant plants, let me tell you.
I am a big cheerleader for you kicking butt at school. :)
And happy birthday!
