as long as you had the wind at your back...

Naw, where it's that flat there's ALWAYS a headwind. Doesn't matter which direction you go, you could go in a loop, you will have a headwind.

Plus, you get the optical illusion that it's all uphill. This is bad on a long run ...

i always feel so uneasy there, like the earth falls off a cliff if I go too far. Makes me feel like a mouse in the middle of a football field. just slightly ...vulnerable.

You'll be an hour and a half from me... and Springfield actually has some hills compared to Champaign - Urbana where I live.

BTW I'm just the opposite of you, when I go to places that are really hilly or heavily forested I get claustrophobic big time!! I need to see the horizon.

I think Mother Nature hates us, it was 36 degrees this morning going up to a high of 57!!! It's not like I live in Antarctica or something, it should be lows in the 50's and highs in the 70's by now.

Isn't it funny how different we can be?!

It's pretty interesting! When new students come to campus you can see that vulnerable look in their eyes at first. I'll ask them if it's too spacious for them and they'll nod and comment "it's just too OPEN!".

Here's what I was doing yesterday, installing two new hives....

BSG - That is so neat!!!!

I got an email from one the agencies I applied to... they want to set up an interview! Plus, I am still in the running for the one I hit it off with at the job fair.
I hate this whole process, though.

I sure understand where you are coming from! I think we are in the high 20s tonight and low 50's tomorrow. Yikes, that is just too cold.

I am saying goodbye to my clients this week. It really sucks. This internship thing just sets you up for feeling like crap about this... leaving people who already have attachment issues.

I went to my 40th HS reunion last night. I didn't actually graduate from this school, but since I don't feel any connection to the small private school in Miami I went to for my last 2 years, I have reconnected with a few people from my childhood here in MA. At 4 PM DH and I decided to stay overnight at the hotel. As we checked in, the girl at the desk (maybe 25 years old) said, "Wow, all of these people checking in for this 40th reunion look so good. What's with you guys?" First I thought, great, they probably all had plastic surgery, but I laughed out loud, as looking great would be typical for this group.
She was right. They did look great, but not in a surgery kind of way. A few of the guys looked bald and a bit paunchy (interestingly, the ones who came alone), but women looked fab.
I had fun, even though it was a smaller group than the last one I went to and I didn't know quite as many people..

Nothing since Sunday

!
Hope everyone is ok. I went for an eye exam and was told my eye pressure was high, so I get to be dilated tomorrow (Mom has glaucoma, and well)
Writing like crazy, and fixing to take another Research trip to Indiana - get to a revolutionary war re-enactment (need to find less expensive hobbies)

Time to close up the house again...
While I'm sitting on the front porch, enjoying what's left of the sun - now covered with thin clouds - and listening to some Cajun music blasting through the open windows... i just heard the heater come on (some lint got zapped in the electronic filter.
Was a nice warm day. Too bad it didn't last
