The Story so Far

Ahh...it's finals week for ASL 201. I made it through my summer of insanity. Actually it was not as bad as I thought it would be. I could have taken another class at the same time, but I don't have enough time and get 30 hours a week in at work too. My knuckle joints are a bit sore, but no carpel tunnel...yeah...

My back is doing much better and I'm even dancing again. I've missed being on stage and just letting myself enjoy movement. I sucked not being able to have the full range of movement...I'm still only at 75% of what I had.

Sabastien's age is starting to show. My 15 year old kitty is getting on in age. I'll be surprised if he makes it to grad school with me. He's been through every apartment move, three different states, at least six 12 hour drives from IN - PA, two airplane trips, my homeless roving gypsy lifestyle in California, the loss of my other cat and his daughter Rayna, his new wrestling partner Sam, and now my return to Purdue. He has outlived all of his littermates and has been my familiar and guardian for all these years.

My strawberry and cherry tomato plants are just thriving and making fruit all over the place. Its so cute to pick off the little tomatos as they ripen. Some of my flowers have finished for the year and now I have bare patches in my garden...oh well.

More later...
