podling | (no subject)

I looked at my journal and realized it's been just over 2 weeks since I posted anything of my own. Several reasons... I've been busy busy at work catching up from my vacation and taking care of stuff there, plus I've kind of been retreating into myself more lately. Spending a lot of time thinking on the deeper issues of life, and also whether I actually want to talk about them here or not (filters or no as well). About friends, family, love, money, etc. I'm not sure I will. I mean, I can go on and on, and I probably should curb that.

The funny thing is that I keep thinking of things I could post, like when it was raining the other day and I realized I had accidentally grabbed the umbrella with little holes in it from when I used it as a shield in a water gun river fight. Luckily it wasn't raining hard. And how I still sometimes think, "Shields up!!!" when I unfurl an umbrella. But then I get to work and there's stuff to do...

But so, the updatey type stuff... So the podmobile went on it's first roadtrip post-surgery and handled it beautifully. Vermont is so gorgeous. Managed to ski one day and snowmobile for the first time ever! Nice to spend time in a hot tub on a mountainside once again with friends I rarely see. Coming back to NJ was kind of sad, but hey, I did choose this. I should've planned better so I could visit my parents too, but my mom at least will be visiting this weekend, which is cool.

Other things... I think I'm getting a raise this week. My commute hasn't been *wonderful* exactly, but it's definitely shorter, and for that I am grateful. I explored some of the backroads near my house, I'm not really sure I'll ever have it mapped in my head. My place really does seem more like home now that I've spent more time in it. Oh, and I finished Wolves of the Calla and was so randomly absorbed into it, now to find out when the next part comes out...

And now, for the first time in quite a while, I will be going home on time. Woo!
