Peace and Quiet.

For some reason, I just want to be ALONE this week. But that's not possible. I have projects to finish, papers to write, work, (and when you work with people...well, being alone is not possible. This is the only week that I've ever wished I could have a cubicle to myself.) and I live with my very observant boyfriend who reads me like a book and makes me do that silly thing called talk about my feelings.

Okay...I actually love that about him. I swear it.

But, starting today, this week is a little different than most weeks. I'm house sitting for a wonderful lady with two dogs and two kitties that I proudly call my adopted children. And...for the most part, I'll be alone with just their lappy dog kisses, kitty snuggles, the dogs' happy howls, & my thoughts.

I'm going to run this week. I ran two days ago. As awkward as I feel while..flopping running around, I enjoy the post-run, exhausted, sweaty, free feeling.
I'm going to eat healthy this week.
I'm going to write this week.
I'm going to enjoy this week.

Sometimes I think a little peace and quiet is good for the soul. It's been a long semester and I couldn't even tell you my favorite colour if you asked me right now, so I'm going to reintroduce myself to...myself.

Here's to peace and quiet.
