Well, things have changed immensely since I became a private blog. And frankly, some of those things, including but not limited to, being a private blog, have been really lame! So, from here on out, I am no longer a private blog! We are going to be a bit more careful and selective in our blogging language. And by we, I mean I. I'll no longer be posting anything with my last name or the specific city in which I live. Generics will be good enough! If all of you can kindly do the same, I'd appreciate it muchly! I'll see how it goes, and if need be (please bless not!) then I will switch back.
On to the fun stuff: Bacon! And by bacon, I mean change.
I am no longer living in S. Virginia. Or working in S. Virginia, if you know what I mean. I'm very disappointed with how things went down, but believe me when I say that I was miserable and mistreated there, so unnamed library can kiss my foot! I was sad to leave my roommate and my branch, though. Many tears were shed. I am a crybaby. That hasn't changed at all! And oddly enough, I really miss Maryland now that I'm back in the west. Virginia, not so much, but Maryland definitely. And has anyone else noticed how tiny the temples in Utah look? They're sitting there, all dwarfed by the mountains, while in DC, it's all, "Ta-da!" towering out of the trees over the freeway. Is it actually bigger? More grandiose? Or does the environment just make it seem that way?
Finally, after all these years (26, but who's counting?) I got my ears pierced! I can no longer safely perform my nervous habit of pulling on my ear lobes. Hee hee! It's kind of a kick in the pants, really.
I'm back at Mom and Dad's house! Another change that isn't so great. Obvs, Mom and Dad are swell, and it's great to see them, but at this point in my life, I am really regressing. Which is not what I want to do. I will be here until I get another (hopefully more pleasant) job, though, and I'm very, very grateful that I have this place to stay in my time of homelessness.
I guess that's all for now. But there have been big things lately, and my last blog was not only forever ago, but also about the world's biggest downer. But no more! I have a naturally cheerful disposition! I shall conquer! Go team me!

We fear change
One of the things that has been a big change for me since moving away from Maryland is not having roommates anymore. Let me tell you, it's a bummer! Especially after the fun weekend I just had up in grand old Maryland (thanks, guys!! Miss ya!), I really miss having roommates. But there are several compensations. I get my own bathroom. It's actually the biggest one in the house. Good times. I have a working washer/dryer right in the house! No more air-drying for me! Sometimes I dry stuff that I would normally air-dry just because I can!! I also have a very nice, big room. Pictures follow:
Here's the view from the door looking over to my window seat.
And this one was taken from the other side of the bed looking towards the closet:
And the whole house is just generally a lot nicer than Carol's house ever was (goodness, I hope she never reads this blog! Although if she doesn't know that her house is a trash heap already, I'm not sure reading it here would enlighten her). Here's the outside:
The top right is one of my windows. That's right, I have two! Actually, I had that in Maryland too, so it's not that exciting. But these ones have blinds! Huzzah!
But perhaps best of all are the animals. Don't get me wrong, sometimes they drive me crazy. Donna, I don't like feeling your cold nose on my arm when I'm trying to eat breakfast. It's very rude to try to make me spill my cereal! Also, please stop jumping on me. And Baby, I don't like being licked! But thanks for not being a barker, and especially for not throwing up when I was here by myself that weekend. Here are the dogs:
The one lying down is Donna and the one in front is Baby. Considering how much they love attention, it was sure hard to get them to hold still for a picture.
The other pet is Sedona, the cat. I have never liked cats much. But boy howdy, she sure likes me. I go into the living room, not having seen the cat in hours. But about 30 seconds after I sit down, here comes from Sedona, seemingly out of midair, to sit on my lap. Sometimes she'll pat my shoulder with her little paws. It's very sweet. It's not as sweet when she head-butts me. Well, I think she means it to be affectionate, but it mostly just drives me crazy. Sedona was even harder to get on camera. I think this might be because Baby was chasing her as I was trying to take this.
There you go, folks, the world's most affectionate cat. If she likes you.
So, anywho, I am obviously employing the time honored technique of trying to get over feeling down about change. Remind yourself the things you like better about where you are now, and what you really didn't like about where you left. I like my big bathroom, dang it! I actually really like always being covered in pet hair! I guess I'm just really lucky that I loved where I was and who I was with so much that I still really miss it and them after a couple of months. Although I don't miss the house at all. Sorry Carol!
