One Day at a Time...

Well, lonely week #1 is coming to a close, and I am happy to say only 6 of them left. Daniel has enjoyed his first week back at Fairchild in Dallas. He's been putting in long hours, but it sounds like the work is enjoyably challenging, and he likes the people. I spent the week going to class, re-learning anatomy so I know what I'm doing in lab as a TA, and making to-do lists.

Pulling off this move reminds me very much of when Daniel and I were engaged. Then, we were long-distance as well. He was in Dallas and I in College Station. Now he's in Dallas and I'm in Galveston. Then, I was planning a wedding to take place in a city different from where I was living. Kind of like buying a house in a city different from where I'm living. And, I was also in my final semester at Texas A&M... kind of like I'm in the final semester at UTMB now. Gosh there are actually a lot of similarities. One important difference is that I'm not worried about the "flight risk" factor now, like I was when we were engaged. I should actually note that Daniel was very helpful in planning the wedding, as he is in the house-buying process.

I liked the compare-and-contrast essays we had to write in elementary school. Those were great.

We are starting to get cool breezes during the day, and I love it! Winter is coming... slowly but surely.

If anyone has not yet enjoyed music from pandora.com, you need to. I have listened to one of my stations so many times that I know every song that comes on... even ones by artists I'd never heard of before. A particular favorite, whose music I would NEVER buy because of the horrible lyrics, is Lily Allen. She's British, and I love her songs. But truly the story lines in them are appalling. It's a darn shame, because they're very happy-sounding.

That's it for now.
