go sing too loud, make your voice break

The last two weeks have been r-ou-gh. School is swamping me. Whose idea was it to take thse two lab classes at the same time? The future of my school is so uncertain it's maddening. Work is chaotic, that is the only word to describe it. Never been crazier. And we are still settling in to our new place.

I think that has been the only thing keeping me sane. Our new place. Having a kitchen, a KITCHEN! Not just a microwave and half of a fridge\semi-freezer, but a real-life kitchen where you can real-life cook, has been amazing. Not to mention a ton more space, a backyard free of spiders the size of your fist and a bathroom that isn't right next to your food. We are happy, and content with our new little home. Ampersand is in love. She has made good friends with the squirrels that play in the tree in our backyard.

Our fridge complete with Steven the giraffe and a very life-like drawing of Micahel Jackson.


We can make these now. Which could be a bad thing...


We ran out of homes for our books. They are stacking up on the floor...


Backyard. Squirrel playground.



Last night we took a walk with Daniel down the Iron Horse Trail, which is right behind our place, to Blush, an organic yogurt place. It is to die for. It's really fun and unique flavors with just as interesting toppings, plus they have a station where you can play your own iPod. I think we will be frequenting this place more and more.

Pumpkin Blush is delicious. (Pumpkin anything is delicious, but everyone knows this)



Today in the bookstore I went to get some hot tea, and at the cashier they had "Calm Lozenges" I thought about buying them. But then thought that was too much. If it wasn't for the company of my iPod, I wouldn't make it through the day.
