What I Like About You? You Really Know How to Dance

Apparently, today is the most depressing day of the year. But, as my friend Andrea and I were discussing as I went for my first pseudo-run today (woot to New Year’s resolutions), I don’t feel so bad.

I’m back in Vancouver, and working up a storm. The first two days back, I’ve discovered, are always horrible. There’s no way around it. I stumble around the apartment searching for my parents, and have anxiety dreams that Dad is leaving me at the airport. But then – miraculously – things turn around. I’ve run face-first into a ton of work, which, if I’m honest, is when I’m most happy. There’s stuff for me to do, and I’m gonna do it, gol’ ding it!

And it doesn’t hurt that it’s been like spring recently. And that I’ve been collecting hugs from lovely friends.

So here goes another term at writing school. I’m having a great time.

I leave you with one of my favourite people.

Moi et mon mere.

Happy mid-January.

(Side note: Today’s subject line has nothing to do with anything. It just felt right.)
