close my eyes I'm moving still / magazines and dollar bills
When we were in Hawai'i, the best place ever, with breakfast came these little jars of jam. It was really good jam. I kept wanting to take them home, which I did to the extent they could fit in my suitcase.
I really never knew what I was going to do with the little jars of jam, as I don’t eat jam that often. I have found the perfect use since I’ve been taking bread with me to work for a snack. Mmmm, homemade bread (I made bread!) + pacific mountain strawberry preserves is really good.
There is a really interesting article in the times today about hospital bills. It is true, the paperwork involved with hospital bills is amazing. I cannot even imagine what my paperwork was like or what would have happen if I wasn’t on my parents insurance. My insurance confuses me now for routine care. I cannot imagine for something catastrophic. Tom with his shouldar surgery and I talk a lot about health care.
While crossing between buildings today, I looked around, and it felt quiet. Of course, there were still like 4 people around, but usually that area is full of noisey trucks and undergrads. It was nice for a minute, then I realized that the “quiet” I was enjoying consisted of a lot of traffic and HVAC units. I yearned for a trip to the woods where the quiet would consist of nature – birds and such. Of course, I want this as I am about to get on a big plane stuffed full of people. It will stop in a city stuffed full of people. Though my wrist and arms will enjoy the week off from work. Lately I’ve been getting small stab of pain in my thumb/wrist and my shoulder. My body is just not a fan of graduate school, which is just another reason why I need to hurry up and gradate.
speaking of tom, i must do another shout out to him, as the emergence of pictures on my blog are all due to his extended loan of his ditigal camera. he rocks.
