Hello June,
You're here already?
Sincerely,
~Lo

Really, I can't believe I'm already here at this month. It's now been over a year since I graduated from college. I'm actually not nostalgic or mournful. My 2012ers have graduated and life moves on.

Anyhoo, tomorrow I start my first REAL weekend at work. Yesterday my training finished and I may now assume a regular pattern of life...sort of. Next week I have a meeting, two days of volunteering and then my weekend is a busy land of docent meetings, work, and rolling back to good ol' Central New York on Sunday evening after work. My best friend Lala will be out in the area visiting her dad so I'm riding back with her to hang out in CNY until the morning of the 15th when I'm taking a bus back to Buffalo.

Things are still well. I've been REALLY tired the past week, I think due to the weather which has been in "I really want to rain but not quite yet" mode all week as well as my physical activity period. I feel asleep at 8pm on the couch on Wednesday and pretty stayed asleep, even when I moved into my bed around 10:30 and slept solid the whole night. I have energy but I've also been doing a lot of physical activity between some combination of biking, walking, or swimming every day. Being in shape is good for me but at other times it also leaves me VERY pooped.

Matt and I have been well. I've felt really freaking cuddly toward him for the past few weeks, which is slightly unusual for me as I am admittedly not the most cuddly person in the world. Matt tends to crave it more than I do. However, it has been very nice. We've really enjoyed being around each other and just hanging out, taking walks, cooking, playing Champions of Norath: Call to Arms (which is freaking GREAT by the way!), picking out resturuants we want to check out sometime. I've really been appreciating him lately. I don't feel the need to say "I love you" six times a day as he does but I am very glad for his presence in my life. I'm just very gushy and smiley about my relationship and I look at him like "Yeah, I'm totally proud to be with you."
Again, it's been one of those things where every time I think the love can't get deeper it does. Over two years into the relationship and it still amazes me.

In other news...man I hate when I was thinking of something earlier to write and then totally forget. Bugger!

Oh, so yeah, my docent trainer dude at the Historical Society is nuts and doesn't really care who he tells and at this point I'm over telling him he should take care of himself every time I see him. The guy has SEVERE general anxiety, doesn't really sleep, works a full time and a part time job, eats horribly, takes care of his mom who has cancer, and manages to fit a girlfriend in there too. He says this all pretty casually to us docents. Given that I've heard this a few times now I resist the urge to keep telling him that he needs to take care of himself. He's a year older than me and knowing this, I also know he is capable of making his own choices about what he will sacrifice to enjoy life. It does become slightly irritating though when I KNOW he is going to burn out soon enough and that regardless of him knowing it and other people telling him it, he will do it anyway.
-sigh- People. Really.

Anyhoo, I'm off to raid more of the library before grabbing some coffee and curling up with Catherine the Great before I go work out this evening. I hope everyone on the JS front is doing well.
Peace.
~Lo
