high bed in the low chapel

Diet detox began today. My sister was here for nearly four weeks which was stressful but also a complete blessing. You don't know how much you miss when you don't live with someone for fifteen years. I absolutely love her and understand her more now more than ever. Did I digress? I meant to say that while she was here, I was able to keep my food consumption in check. Then after she left, it all went to hell. "Chips and guacamole for dinner? Yes, thank you." So, after two vegan meatball sandwiches yesterday (yes, it's possible and I was really hungry after ballet practice) I went to bed with every intention of detox the next day. Berries, water, whole grains, and tomatoes were consumed today. I feel so much better.

The summer session started last week. It's microbiology and ballet for me. Ballet is a tremendous revelation; I think about it all the time. Ten hours a week is not enough, I missed my instructor all weekend and can't wait to see him on Monday. He's lovely and criticizes me enough to think I might be a bit talented. I love it!

I must finish my cadaver project in the next few weeks but my job with the City is creating greater demands on my time. A full-time job is coming available that approximates all the consulting work I've been doing over the last twelve months. It might be a crazy thing to do, apply for it and work at for a year to pay off the rest of my student loans from my first college education. The reality of leaving my family at the end of the year seems downright depressing. I began to hate living alone when I was in Washington and have no real desire to enter this phase again. Granted, dorm living is not alone but I love having people, i.e. Mom and Dad to talk to in the morning and at night. I love shopping for them. Buying food for only myself in Washington made me cry. I want to take care of someone else. I'm on track to start my nursing program in January. New steps in life are approaching....
