So it has begun...

I'm not good without a focus.  When I was five years old I got the chickenpox and I drove my mom crazy until she finally got some homework from my kindergarten teacher.  I'm happiest when I am busy, and I am definitely not busy right now.

Today was the first day that Daniel was back at work and I am off from school.  I have tried to make the most of it, but it has been kinda miserable.  Although I tried to be prepared by buying a copy of Kathryn Stockett's The Help, today was still a jedi mind battle between me and the refrigerator.

I went on a walk this evening to try and clear my mind and come up with ways to survive the next six weeks until school starts.  So far I don't have any bright ideas except to keep doing something, anything, even if it means I go on ten walks a day.  I just can't fall into the trap of sitting around and feeling sorry for myself.

P.S> At least I'm reading something other than calculus textbooks again.  I am already 200 pages into The Help and it is wonderful...highly recommended.  It raises the bar for my next reading choice though so I hope it's not too hard to find the next read.
