Oh it's that time again

∞ the How's My Driving? meme ∞

In other related news, I think that as much as I like running big events, it makes me paranoid about the mistakes I make and the toes I step on and everything else. Oh well, you can't have it all.

In unrelated news (literally?), the world is terrifying--I read the news and it's really easy to get bogged down in the horrible news that is rolling in from all over the world. My parents keep telling me not to worry, since I'm young and I'm in the "long term," but I still sometimes feel incredibly small and afraid of everything that's happening.

But in the meantime, I--am also incredibly grateful to be employed still, and a job that pays me well. I am healthy and I am happy, I have money in the bank and still work for more, and every time I feel grouchy about having to wake up early, or getting home late, or some of the things we get asked to do, I remind myself I am doing well. I want to be grateful for what I have, while I have it.

Optimism says we will see this through, even if it gets worse before it gets better, and that's what I want to believe in.





And that is about the closest I will really ever get to talking about political/economic issues because neither are my forte and things I tend to stick to discussing with people irl rather than online. Next time, I will probably post something really spastic or silly or else soundbite-y, like Tazo Vanilla Apricot white tea, where have you been all my life?
