walk away now and you're gonna start a war

it’s been an interesting month or so.  i suddenly began really liking my job, while simultaneously having a lot of non-job interests pulling me in different directions.  my better half is seriously trying to find a job here, but is worried about his prospects.  meanwhile i’m immersing myself in all my favorite domestic pursuits (cooking, knitting, canning) in an effort to distract myself from how ready i am to marry him, live together and start a family.

also my grandfather died back in july, and there’s been a good amount of family time spent remembering him and my grandmother (since grieving for her has largely been on hold for the past five years, for his sake) and sorting out their belongings.  and it’s just been making me think about family, and about what’s important.

now i wish i had the opportunity to go do it.
