The Frontiers Are My Prison
Sep. 8th, 2002 11:43 pmAn uneventful time, punctuated by a few good conversations with friends and family, and a bit of thinking about the future. It's not as much of a disaster as I thought it was, so that's a bit of the pressure relieved, but I still have a great deal of thinking and planning to do. In a way, I think that this has merely clarified my options, making it that much easier to take the next step. I can see the time is coming, and I have to prepare. Why must everything always be so difficult?
I have a number of luxuries in this life, and as I've oft commented, while it's not perfect, it's certainly bearable. But, I think like many others I know, perhaps a few years ahead of me, I am allowing my complacency to overwhelm me, and I need to create come challenge in my life to get where I need to be. Which is not to say that things are easy as they are now - there's still more work to finish, more grading to be done, moving to occur on Friday, not to mention a new physical training regime to start once I no longer have to work hideous hours every day (as opposed to a more humane 8-10, for example).
I do look forward to Faire, and maybe a few short trips in the months or so to come. . . In other news, Lucifer, the recent Effrul arcs, and the prestige have been an increasingly enjoyable experience for me - I even had a dream about it. And despite the struggles with UPS, I am acquiring new reading at a satisfying rate, but until then, not much to say, foolish to try - it's time for saying goodbye.
