oceantheorem: (wine)
It's been a very relaxing weekend. I bought the sequels to the book I finished yesterday--the series is called The Novels of Tiger and Del, and was written waaay back in 83, but it's pretty good. It's awfully simplistic, which makes it easy to remember what's going on when my brain is totally somewhere else. And there are six books, so they'll keep me entertained at least until quals start.

Emily and I went to the beach yesterday, too, which was awesome. We got there a couple hours before sunset. I enjoyed a nice long swim, semi-pretending that I was back in California, and then we climbed some rocks and took some pictures. It was a nice afternoon. We followed it up drinking port back at her house with her new roommates.
I would post pictures of the beach, but I appear to no longer have my photo editing software. Alas.

Anyway, somehow I managed to burn my pinky on the oven while making dinner, so I'm gonna go do something that doesn't involve typing. Like watching a few episodes of Gilmores and drinking more port...

I went to the beach. Andrew came. Good thing, too, 'cause that kid is all logical and comforting and stuff, and I totally would have driven all the way to Rhode Island just to sit on the beach in the rain and sob. But Andrew printed out directions to a closer beach, and we got there before it started raining, and I didn't cry. I actually felt a lot better. Things seem better next to the ocean. It smelled like the ocean. It smelled... okay. In the sense that things are going to be okay.

I got mad about a lot of things tonight. I think I'm doing better now; I think I've recovered from my anger, and dealt with it a bit, and am once again able to handle life as it comes. I'm so glad I remembered beaches; so often I forget that they always help. Why does it always help to go to the beach? Unfailingly?

Anyway, I just drove for two hours, and it poured on the drive back, and I'm exhausted both emotionally and physically, so I'm going to bed.
Sweet dreams, kids.
