Two weeks ago today, Matt and I ended a nearly decade-long relationship. My niece has been in and out of the hospital and went through some serious surgery. I had a computer class project from hell that I submitted Tuesday. Election night kept me on the edge of my seat and then suprised, and ultimately, disappointed me (and nearly half the country). To top it all off, I had a mid-term exam last night.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>But the minute I left the class room last night, my mood lifted. I guess the exam was the last big stresser I had and now my mind suddenly feels open again. It was such an unfamiliar feeling to me lately that it felt odd at first. I&#8217;m not dancing in the streets happy today (mostly&nbsp;because I don&#8217;t dance), but I&#8217;m feeling more optimistic.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>I&#8217;m heading to Cape Cod tomorrow to help my parents figure out how to use their new computer. I&#8217;m also bringing Dusty to stay with them while we sell the condo. Matt still plans to take her back once he gets his own apartment. <\/P><br \/>\n<P>There&#8217;s also a chance our region could get it&#8217;s first snow fall (mostly outside the city and just at trace of it). That always gets me excited for winter. And I&#8217;m seeing loads of Christmas commercials (for the Radio City Rockettes, toy stores, etc&#8230;) and some stores are already decking the halls with boughs of holly (Restoration Hardware was already decorated before Halloween&#8230;which may even be a little too early for me).
