I have gotten almost everything I need to get done before school starts.  I am discovering that medical schools want you to jump through many more hoops that a regular university.  I hope I haven't left anything out.

My old friend from college, Ace, has invited me to Columbia this weekend to meet his girlfriend and hear his band play.  I haven't seen him in 12 years, but we've remained in contact all this time.  I think I am going to go.  I do have things I should be doing here, but I think it would be really good for me to have an adventure this weekend.  Weekends are hard for me since Dan died - I'd mostly rather skip them.  He died on a Sunday, and just the day before is when we had our now infamous trip to New Orleans.  I find I do a lot better on the weekends if I am around people and stay busy.

Today, I am having some tummy issues and I have a headache.  I'm just sticking close to the apartment for now.  I put a load of laundry in so I can take some of the clothes I want to Columbia if I end up going.  My Netflix movies arrived so maybe it's a good sofa day.

Well, I am almost unpacked.  I just have part of my bathroom and all of my clothes left to do.  Then I need to decide where to hang my pictures and paintings.  I must finish this week because I am slammed busy next week. 

I am still trying to come to terms with this apartment not having a dishwasher.  Dishes are my least favorite household chore.  Seriously, I'd rather clean the toilet with a toothbrush than go near a dirty dish.  Dan was supposed to handle the cooking and dishes here in Augusta (and I was going to handle the laundry and cleaning).  Seemed like a fair trade off to me.  Now, evey time I have to wash a dish by hand, I'm going to think about that.  I miss him a lot today.

So, how did do with that weekend goal? No goal? What did you do this weekend?

I did get quite a bit of unpacking done, but I am still not finished.  Other than that, I did some grocery shopping and vegged.  I look forward to doing more on the weekends.  I don't really know anyone here yet and I don't know the area, so I didn't really have anything else to do.  Next weekend, I may go visit my old friend Ace in Columbia, SC since it is only a 45 minute drive now.  His band is playing, and I haven't seen him in ages!  I've discovered that staying busy on the weekends is better for me since I tend to have a harder time with grief on those days.  So anyway, I did not complete my goal, but I did work on it this weekend! :)

What are the 5 words that best describe your life right now?
Question submitted by mojito.

Transitioning - My life has changed so much in the last 10 weeks.  My soulmate died unexpectedly, and I moved across state to attend school again in order to make a complete career change.  I have no clue where these roads will eventually lead me, but, as they say, that is the journey.

Exciting - This is a new chapter of my life.  I am excited about my new apartment, starting school, and meeting new people.

Emotional - Dan died 10 weeks ago today.  I miss him so much, and I think of him every day.  It's hard to think of how he died and wonder if he was scared or if he suffered.  It's also hard to move forward with my future plans without him.  They had been our plans, and now I'm going it alone.

Exhausting - With not very much sleep, I've had to keep moving through several major life changes/crisis.  Even though many times I felt like hitting the brakes, I'm still moving.

Indulgent - Because I lost 10 lbs from grief after Dan died, I am able to get away with eating whatever I want for the time being.  I'd forgotten what that was like!

Glad you're here, Sassysweetheart.  Now post something!

It rained here for a little bit and the temp dropped from 102°F to 91°F.  Still hot as hell, but slightly more manageable.  I really should be farther along on my packing than I actually am.  I've been such a slacker!  I require more motivation. 

I found the email address of the one girl who I know at MCG and sent her a heads up that I am here.  She may very well be out of town doing an internship though, so I may never get to see her! 

I know several people who are attending Defcon in Las Vegas this weekend.  I'd love to be a fly on those walls.  I need to try to make it to one of the Cons next year just so I can see everyone.  Not that I would know what anyone would be talking about since I am not a techie, but it would still be nice to see familiar faces.

My new apartment is pretty cool.  I only dislike the floor.  It makes my feet ache.  I am used to going barefoot all the time at home, but barefoot on these floors might not be such a good idea.  Ah, well.
