Melting


Tonight, there was the most fantastic thunderstorm. I watched lightning bolt after lightning bolt shatter the sky. It was so beautiful. Unfortunately, it didn't make it that much cooler! It is so humid right now, the A/C is blowing non-stop. Can't wait to see this bill, yikes! Of course, we were spoiled by not having to run it all in June and moderately in July. I just hate hot weather. Would rather be snuggled up in a big sweater or under blankets. Come on, Fall!!

Runes and Musings

I am looking for some Berkana Runes to give all my pregnant friends, but of course, no where I went today had them, so I am going to have to give my initial pregnancy gift to them without them. Hopefully, I can track them down. It is interesting having the majority of the people I know being pregnant. I am truly thrilled for all of them, but it makes me start to wonder about my own fertility and about whether or not I am meant to have children someday. I'm not trying and don't really feel like I am in a place to try right now. But what I worry is what if the right time never comes? I guess I will always have kitty children and will be a kickass aunt to all my friends children. Is that going to be enough?

In the meantime, I am searching for my next job and trying to get healthier. Hoping to lose 40 pounds through moderation and cutting out as much processed food as possible. I don't think I could stomach a prepacked meal plan with the freeze-dried everything. It is such a hassle to think about having to cook for three meals a day. So I will try and make healthy compromises when I can. I need to try and remember how worth it it will feel to be thinner and healthy.
