Inn of the Wandering Dragon

Admittedly my picture here is a bit out of date. A few weeks ago I enjoyed a lovely walk to take in some of the fall colours. Most of the leaves are gone now. But the weather here is warm enough for me to doubt we are in November already. Normally there would be snow by now. All the shops have put up their Christmas displays and the questions have started going around for gift ideas etc. Mind you it didn't quite feel like Halloween either last weekend.

Ok, so I'm rambling. Between the two jobs I have 3 or sometimes 4 days a week where I work 12 to 13 hours. On the days that only find me working 8 hours I am trying to stay on top of the day to day stuff like cooking, laundry, health etc. My dance class is performing in 2 weeks so there are extra rehearsals and practice to squeeze in as well.

In short, I'm tired but I'm hanging in there. I don't really feel like there is much time to do any thing beyond what absolutely needs to be done right now. Ergo the lack of blog posts among other things. I come home and spend some time with the fuzzball before going to bed so I can get up the next morning and do it all again. And I think to myself, only a couple more months to go...

The wedding of a good friend of mine came and went this past weekend. I can honestly say that the whole day went surprisingly well. There were some things that we figured would turn out "good enough" and the rest would turn out well. Aside from taking turns huddling in borrowed coats in between photos, the rest of the day exceded expectations. The ceremony itself was simple and very emotional as these two people whom I have known for so long exchanged their vows. I am happy for them, as I have watched them struggle down a long road to get to this point. Continuing to work their way together through life is a longer road still, but they are walking together now and I sincerely wish them all the best to make it a great journey together.
