Silver lining

Life is not bad, per se, but I am feeling somewhat apathetic about life. CF will not move. Period. To him, asking me to move in with him and spend 2 1/2 to 3 hours a day commuting (total) is reasonable; moving half-way between our places of work is not because he does not feel like moving before he is done with school (which is sooner than later, presumably). I am getting some stuff done for my own research, but my undergrad is a waste of time and my grad student is pretty busy with classes to do the experiments he wants to do. But, as disappointed as I am with life in general at the moment, and as sad as it is to have shortened days, I get rewarded by watching the sunrise from my desk and the occasional amazing sunset.

These pictures I took with my phone while I drove 80 mph down the highway do not do the sunset tonight justice. It rivaled a sunrise I saw from a plane window up north near the arctic somewhere. Seriously, I got a little teary looking at it as I drove. There were rays of light, colorful clouds, silver cloud tops.


I came home and played my flute for a bit for the first time in months. Then found two more amazing apartments to rent which CF again said no to. I give up.

Oh, yeah - I also stabbed myself with a micro-scalpel today at work. That felt awesome.

That boy needs to straighten out his priorities.

Spark, (a belated) I concur.
