"Choking on salt water, I swim."


I got myself up at 6:30 this morning and went for a run. Well, my alarm clock got me up, but I actually went! Probably the longest running streak I've gone since high school, two days. haha. Tomorrow morning I have to get up early anyway to go to a doctor's appointment in Castleton to get an eye exam to renew my driver's license. Stooooopid. But I'd like to not have to take my driver's test all over again, so it's probably worth it. Then, after that, I have work from 11-8. What-a-day. Just as I expected, these days are flying by.
          So, there is this squirrel on campus. I mean, there are lots of squirrels, but there is this ONE particular squirrel that has completely stolen my heart. He/she is so freaking cute. First of all, this squirrel is little. I'm talking half the size of all the other squirrels. Now, I don't know if it is a baby or what, but nonetheless, adorable. Secondly, this squirrel is not gray, no, gray squirrels are run-of-the-mill. This little guy/girl is RED. Actually, now that I say that I realized it is probably a red squirrel, I think maybe they are smaller than gray squirrels. I don't think I have ever seen a red squirrel until now, but I wouldn't mind seeing a whole lot more of them
       Although I have gotten a lot done these last two weeks, these are the things I have not gotten done: an oil change, a haircut, laundry, check my mail, send mail....aaaand there is something else that I can't remember. All of these things have completely taken the back burner to the massive amount of other more important stuff I have going on. Oh yeah, practice piano is the last thing. I have piano lessons this afternoon and I have practiced a total of about 30-45 minutes this week. uh-oh. I figured honesty is the best policy, I'm just going to fess up and admit I was super busy and barely practiced. In the mean time, I'm going to go practice now so I can at least get an hour in.
