What have I learned on this trip so far….

*  I don’t like Raisin Bran, even if it has dried bananas in it.
I actually like the bran and banana part of it, but the raisins are just too squishy and have an odd flavor I don’t care for.

*  I sincerely miss hanging with my baby brother.

*  Some canned cat food actually doesn’t smell that bad.

*  The relationship started to be less stressful when the roof was replaced.
It was a point of contention – something for us to argue and fret over.   But, once it was done, everything seemed to return to normal.   Or, as normal as we get.

*  I’m proud that my little sister is enjoying her new apartment, but I get the feeling that her attitude has changed a bit.  She just seems different to me over the phone, but I think she misses me.     She’s asked me a number of times what I want to eat when picks me up from the airport… in a month and a half.

*  It’s nice to be able to reach out and feel someone in the middle of the night.

*  The USF Tampa campus is okay, but I’ve seen better.

*  Snooping on passing college student conversations is still pretty fascinating.

*  I’ve started hitting the grading refresh button to much to often.   That worries me a bit

*  I’m really bad about taking my meds, which have lead to some personally concerning behaviors.    I’m still not ready to take myself off the anti-depressants.

*  Even after all these years, I still don’t really care for Jason’s mom.. or most of his family for that matter.  I was hoping that I’d mellow out a bit, but nope.    I’ve just gotten better at fake toleration.

*  I think every day should end with Jason playing some sort of game and I reading/coloring/knitting while watching him play.  It just feels right to me.

* The only time I got to go to the beach was when there was free parking.  It’s over a dollar an hour now.    That’s crazy.

* I still have a long way to go when it comes to some things…  like buying myself stuff, rather it be watching a movie or getting my beloved hot chocolate.

*  Still need to write more.

*  The Democrats continue not to impress.   Latest example:  Iowa.

*  It sucks to be back in debt again, even if I did it to myself.

*  Hope springs eternal…..  Here’s to hoping that something pans out from the career fair.
