alexandraerinI'm still tired, and more than that I'm sore... it's the kind of all-over joint pain that usually means I'm sick. My giant monster kitty is not making it any better by trying to aggressively snuggle with me. But I can't sleep any more and so I'm blogging. I don't think I'm going to be able to call to mind all the things I have to blog about, but I'll get what I can. If I did this more often my sketchy memory wouldn't be as much of a problem.
This is going to be personal. I'll have a "business" blog post Monday... I know I won't get to it before then because I plan on spending much of the time between now and then unconscious.
Almost exactly two weeks ago as I'm writing this, I was in a plane leaving Baltimore. The trip was interesting. Educational. Exhausting. I experienced what I can only call personal growth and maturation in the process of getting myself from Point A to Point B without assistance. There were moments when I truly felt like an adult and not a kid in an oversized trenchcoat and hat with a pasted-on moustache trying to sneak into an R rated movie for the first time in over a decade of being legally an adult. I had some personal and spiritual revelations about the nature of craftsmanship and calling which I will later try to put into words preparatory to putting into practice in my life.
Among the other revelations, I discovered that while nutella doesn't precisely fill the peanut butter-shaped hole in my heart, it's pretty darn good and it makes a satisfying sandwich with strawberry jam. I learned that there is a pan-Asian restaurant in Hagerstown called the Orchid Garden that has, as a chef's special, chicken breast stuffed with ham and crab and a drink called a Cool Buddha that involves chai liquer in a martini glass and tastes awesome. Their desserts are incredible, too.
I also ate at a Waffle House. After realizing that the Hagerstown, MD Waffle House is one of the ones pictured on the kipedia article for such, I couldn't very well not have gone.
I got new glasses, replacing the ones that were badly cracked/scratched this past summer.
Ugh. I'll try to continue this later. I can't type any more, my arms feel like they're falling apart at the seams.
