3 in 3 and a Package in the Mail!

This is my third posting in as many days, its amazing :)
I received a fabulous package from my SP5 Pal! It contained gorgeous blue sock yarn, summery scented soap and candles, a fun lollipop, Jelly Bellies and the coolest personalized stationary ever. The stationary is the first thing I have with my married name on it!



Thank you again!

I have been feeling a little better today, well enough to write my paper for psychopathology. It definitely wasn't my best paper ever, but it will do the trick (i hope!) I'm really glad its Friday, there is something about being sick and not able to do much during the week that has left me feeling like a lazy bum, at least during the weekend I can feel like I'm meant to relax!
On Monday I get to pick up our wedding photo proofs, I am soooo excited! I will post some of the pictures after we sort through them. The photographer said that he took over 1200 images! Oh the loveliness of digital photography :)

We are planning on going to see Mr. and Mrs. Smith tomorrow, has anyone gone to see it yet? I suppose that would mean that you would have to have seen it tonight, but even still, anyone out there who might have seen it, let me know if its any good. There is nothing worse than spending 15 bucks on a dud flick!

Happy Friday night to all!

Ode to Jered

I woke up this morning feeling very blech. All last night I kept waking up feeling nauseous and this morning was no different. I spent most of today on the couch either sleeping or trying to drink peppermint tea that my mom brought me, it seems I have either a stomach bug or some mild food poisoning, not fun either way!

Well, as I mentioned yesterday, I have to write a paper by tomorrow evening diagnosing characters of films using DSM criteria. One small problem, lazy me never bought the DSM thinking the library would finally get in the copy I requested. I was trying to save money, but it turns out that I was just being impractical. So I asked Jered to check at the library of the University that he works at to see if they had it, but alas they only have the old version, not the text revision. So...around 2 pm today Jered comes home, with the DSM, and tells me he is home for the day to take care of his wife. My oh my, what a guy! It is amazing, but simply having him here made me feel better. I really picked a winner.

Here are some more pictures from our amazing trip to San Fran. I'll post knitting content as soon as I feel a bit more like me :)

Knitting Rut

I am stuck. I don't know why, I don't know when it started, exactly, but I am completely stuck. I don't have much material for blogging because I don't find myself knitting that much. I tried to find a group here in our area to join but all are either defunked or they are over an hours drive away. I think I've just hit my summer dry spell. Maybe just getting this out of my system will make me want to start knitting again. Its not that I am not knitting at all, I am working on Branching Out, and Leo is somewhere in the apartment, the Phildar socks are on my night stand, its like everything is just hovering in the UFO category.

So, obviously, no new pictures of knitting today! But I will try to make a goal for myself to post again and with pictures by the end of this weekend. Its funny how now, when I have more free time than ever during the school year, I can't seem to find the gusto to knit.

I start my family counseling intensive practicum next week. I had to contact the family that has been assigned to me today, and the phone call was very brief. I am really nervous about actually counseling real families. Last semester in my practicum I got to work with kids, but that was mostly under the direct supervision of the counselor I was working with, I was never in the room alone with a client, and even if I had been, it was always individuals, not families. I guess I am anxious about it as we haven't really had any preparation for the experience. We were supposed to have an orientation to the clinic today, but instead that will happen next week, the day that the family is coming in. Jump right in, let me tell ya! I guess this whole self-doubt/nervousness/anxiety thing is normal, but its really uncomfortable. I was enjoying having a little time off, do I have to go back to learning so soon?! Tomorrow I'll be writing a paper for my psychopathology class diagnosing characters in two movies using DSM criteria, what fun! I watched Martha Inc. and 28 days today, both quite good movies, and very interesting to diagnose! :) It will be a fun paper, I just don't know where I am going to find the energy. If I had to diagnose myself I would almost say I fit depressed: not interested in activities I normally enjoy (for the most part), okay, that really is the only one, but it feels crappy!

I need something fresh and new, something to look forward to other than the thought of September when the heat goes away. It could just be my body adjusting to the humidity and general hotness of the weather right now, maybe I'll turn the AC down a notch and see if that helps things!
