Once again, I have been a bad blogger. Taking the bar and finishing up work ended up being a little more stressful that I anticipated. After the bar I went to the beach for a few days, then came back and worked my last week at the courthouse. Then I went to the mountains with my family for a week. It was so much fun. Briscoe had a blast. I watched a lot of olympics, went on some really pretty hikes, took briscoe on long walks down gravel roads (I love gravel roads), drank champagne on a ridgeline meadow, watched the moon wax and venus move across the sky each night, trespassed in some fabulous gardens at dusk, watched the valley fill with clouds from the bottom up until the mountains were entirely hidden behind a wall of smokey clouds, consumed a great deal of butter milk pie and enjoyed quite a few bottles of wine. It was exactly what I needed to regroup and refresh.
On Monday I started my new job, which is exciting and fun. I'm still getting settled and finding a groove, but I think I'm going to really enjoy it. I like the people I'm working with and the location and the subject matter and I believe this to be a good start. I have a new travel coffee mug – it's blue and I love it. Last night I had my first junior league meeting, which I have to say I was sort of dreading but which was fun and nice, although a little long after a full day of work.
I'm a reader in a wedding this weekend, which should be fun, I'll get to see some good old friends. Then next weekend football starts!! Yippee! I'm so excited.
Okay, I'm going to go try to learn how to do my new job – hopefully when I get more settled into life I'll be better about keeping you updated.
the thin line between optimism and delusion...
