Guess Who Has Two Thumbs

And is movin' and shakin'.

THIS GIRL.

I was super productive today.

I started on some progress because today was a "let's make progress" sort of day.  Let's just leave it at that. I have lots of plans.

Learning not one, but TWO languages. Well, learning one, re-learning the other.  Online classes - GENIUS.  New favorite, for sure.  I miss learning new things, so I'm super stoked about this whole being a student again concept.  Non-matriculating, but you never know where it might lead. Maybe I'll finish those minors in Spanish and Art History...

Looked up bridesmaid's dresses for Brother's wedding.  Picked out some styles I liked, sent them to Mom.  Shoes will obviously have to wait until I get there for the wedding, there will be no shoe shopping in China. Ever. Ever. Again.

Did a lot of paperwork. A lot. And emailing. Good emails.  Productive emails.

All of this whilst watching the Olympics and nursing a sick ear.  Diving made my ear very sad today and while it scared the living daylights out of me, it'll get better in a couple of days.  Worse than the ear pain from not being able to equalize on my ascent was the doctor sticking cotton bathed in alcohol up my nasal cavity without warning muttering in a barely distinguishable Portugese accent the entire time. Surprise! UGH THAT HURT.  Yes, it hurt a little, but you breathe better. Oh great, thanks then. IT HURTS. Jerk.

Better luck next time.

I'm also going to start planning an epic EuroRail trip.  I'm going to start being very busy very soon.  And I like it.

It's been a long time since anything lit a fire under me like this.  I feel really really good again. And hopeful and kinda crazy, good crazy, like I can do anything I want crazy.

It's about time.
