Finished

I only feel relieved.

New to me

We recently got a new-to-us vehicle and a new-to-me computer. I am struggling with being ok with having older things, even if they don't work as well as newer ones would. I wish the car had side-curtain airbags. I wish the computer had a faster processor. But they are still better than the ones they replaced. And far better that the things that most people in the world have. I was raised always wanting the newest and best, not that I always or even got them. But that was the goal. A "new" car was always better and more exciting than a used car. I don't want to feel that way but it isn't easy to change.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was good but more stressful than I had hoped. It sometimes surprises me how hard family can be, even when it really shouldn't be like that. I hope that Christmas won't be as bad.

Almost done

Well November and NaBloPoMo is almost over. Pretty sure I won't do it again since it really wasn't what I wanted this year. I put stuff up just for the sake a getting a post done and it really wasn't worth it. I plan to finish it this year, no sense it quitting now. But it just wasn't worth it this time.

Turkey!

Rain

Funny how some days cold rain and wind feels like torture, and somehow some other days it feels refreshing...Not sure that's a good thing though.

November

I just realized that I never managed to get my calendar changed to November.

So I decided to just wait until December. I could have handled skipping the actual month itself as well...

Overwhelmed

I do Ok during the day when I am busy and I just have to keep moving because there is no other alternative. But when the last student leaves and it is quiet and still I become completely exhausted and overwhelmed. Preparation for the next day seems impossible. Even to simply collect all of the bits and pieces I need to take home feels like a major challenge.

Sunday

Nothing to say. Sundays seem to be the most difficult days right now. Working on a hypothesis about the reasons for that.

Long month

I forgot how long November becomes when trying to blog every day. This year I really haven't done a good job of posting anything interesting. I think that considering how the month has been otherwise I should be pleased that I have made it this far, even being boring.
