Chill in the Air
The weather has changed here in Michigan and I actually put on my heat last night because my toes were getting cold. I'm still working on what my life feels like for this point as I wait to hear from jobs, pick up shifts at the library and work on writing things. Thankfully the rain has stopped as that wasn't doing anything to help my mood. I enjoy rain but there were about three or four days of constant grey rain and it made it hard to find energy to do things. My parents came to visit me at the start of the week as they were in the midst of a Midwest road trip and it was so wonderful to see them. We made dinner one night and went out the next and I actually allowed myself to really celebrate that I have a diploma in the mail. There will be another small celebration when I can hold my masters but for now, I know I did it and didn't think I would. When I came back from New Zealand after a year of trying to write a masters thesis about Pindar, I felt ready to give up on academics bu then the recession and job hunting showed me that I wanted to be a librarian. Now after two years of hard work, I'm working as a part-time librarian and have a masters of information. Its a good feeling and somewhere out there is a job for me working with kids and getting them excited about reading and writing and creativity.
I've been writing more thanks to a wonderful prompting DE over in Milliways. Also I've got a few works in progress that are going slowly. Its so weird to actually have multiple things I'm writing that aren't papers or plot things for Milliways. Speaking of Milliways, I finally put Sameth back in as I've missed playing him a lot.

au_hogwarts is fun, I'm still figuring out all the details of things there but its a chance to play with some old friends. Oh and one oddly wonderfully thing that happened while my parents were here was that I showed my mother my works page on Archive of our Own and she liked what I'd written, which meant a lot to me.
Now I'm going to head out into town and enjoy reading The Discovery of Jeanne Baret which is such a good book. I love the author's way of presenting and filing in what we know and don't know. Then I might make some banana bread when I get home as it will make my house smell lovely, warm things up and be tasty.
