Today was not how I thought it'd be but it was nice.  The poor cat is desperate to live inside where it's warm.  I've been connecting with people I need to connect with.  A new class is starting at the studio and I get to teach it!!!  Good things are happening.  And I'm going on a date tomorrow.  Whether that's a good thing or not is yet to be seen.  I got to spend 6 hours talking to someone today.  It's not what I anticipated doing.  But it was lovely.  Institute was good, too.  Tomorrow I head home.  It's gonna be a FAST trip but it'll be worth it.  Yay for family!
