biding my time

i'm posting this while vectorworks takes it's sweet time unfreezing. i'm trying to finish drawings for my show at nat, and my computer is not cooperating. it's been funky i think since i installed a personal firewall... i think the next move is to uninstall and see if that's the problem. everything has been running slower/funkier since i did that.

things here in the big city are great. yesterday i got plates for my car (finally, after much aggravation and swearing on my part) and an official neighborhood parking sticker. my computer table was sposed to come yesterday but is still mia... tracking site says "in transit" so wait i must.

tonight i'm going to an orioles game with my sister, with free tickets courtesy of my brother in law's sweet work connections. tomorrow i drive to ellicot city to see my brother bowl in a tournament. these are the reasons i moved home, in addition to my cutest ever neices. they do an awesome 'hollaback girl' with lyrics and booty shakin. they are three.

monday i am going in to my new job, two weeks early, to scope things out and get the lay of the land so i don't get lost on my first day in front of the students. i'm scared shitless for a variety of reasons but i know this was the right decision. it took some balls to even start looking for another job, and i still miss my old job and my far away friends, but i feel like the whole world is opening up again and it's all just for me! it's a great feeling. i highly recommend it.
