Statlist

Garden: Good. Planted marigolds as a general "fuck you" to the cucumber beetles, have been spraying eggplant plants with a tomato leaf/dish detergent concoction as a similar send off for flea beetles. Having a hard time remembering that there are good beetles in the world. More cucumbers than I know what to do with and that's really saying something.

School: Over. Got an A in my first graduate level class! Gearing up for graduate school application. Dragging my heels about looking at the essay to rewrite, but a good and wordy friend said he'd look it over for me, so that's a relief at least. Sad summer class is over.

Work: Gave my "hey dudes, probably not going to be a student in the fall"-type notice today. Two interviews this week. Very happy (very relieved) to have those set up. A fancy dentist's office and a property management company, reception at both places. Crossed fingers. Money, I want you, I need you, I just gotsa gotsa have you.

Love: Lovely. Trying to endure the marrymemarrymemarryme vibes without squishing them. We've had a few nice date nights lately and in general things are very good. Prepping for our move at the end of this month.

It's been so nice out lately. Not uncomfortably warm, with cool breezes. It feels like those precious days of fall in Florida, which makes me delighted because there will be many more days like this up here and sad because I am feeling homesick lately. Going home for a bit the first weekend of November! A college friend is getting married. I wish Josh could come with me, but it's going to be a wonderful trip. Get to see my best friend and spend time with my parents and Josh's.

Not sure why I can't caption this picture as I wish. Anyway. Castle Ravenloft. Josh got it last week. I rolled a natural 20! Probably the only one I will roll for myself instead of a monster, ever.

Hurry up and get here, well-employed, admitted to graduate school, wonderful weather life!
