...then i have his utility belt.
ok, i'm not even sure what that means. i do, however, now own all my own tools & a very cool belt to hold them in [until now i have been borrowing an old belt & tools from my boss].
jon & i went out on saturday for 'big tool day' as he called it, & made these purchases. i wanted to get a few paychecks behind me & give it a trial run before making a financial commitment to my new trade... so i guess this means i'm IN. as i'm writing this i laugh to myself because i just called in for tomorrow morning due to other stuff i have to get done...
things have been busy, as can be seen by my infrequent & shallow posts. let's play a little catch up...
school is winding down, the upcoming weekend will mark my last 2 days of grad school, with graduation in december. i keep getting new therapy clients at my internship/ future job, which is a good thing because i'll need at least 20 hours a week for licensure, & as soon as i graduate i'll start getting paid for it. the days seem long when i go to work at 7:30, rush home to clean up at noon, then spend all afternoon/evening in therapy. luckily, thats only 2 days a week right now. eventually i'll work 1/2 days carpentry & half therapy. it makes for a good balance.
i've been seeing my own therapist for almost a month now. the grad program at SNU builds a certain amount into tuition to cover about 10 sessions. so far, it has been pretty good. last week we started digging into some stuff that spurred new thinking. i hope it continues. not only is it professionally responsible to undergo my own ongoing therapy, but i have wanted to do this for a long time. the timing is also a plus what with my mom popping back up a month ago. it's kind of weird being on the couch instead of in the chair, but it's nice to have someone listening to & taking care of me for a change. i highly recommend it for anyone & everyone.
i'm listening to
andrew bird's the mysterious production of eggs that guillot or
tyler gave me some time ago & it's really good. i kind of get alot of music at once from others sometimes, but then it takes me a few months before i really give it a good listen & absorb it into my regular listenings. this is one of those cases. thanks guillot or tyler!
so enough about me, what have you been up to?
