After a 6 month hiatus, I’m finally going back to uni.
Last year I had what I would think was a minor breakdown. I was crying a lot, I was unhappy and I was stressed. REALLY stressed. In the end I decided the best option for me was to pull out of uni for the term and give myself a break. As soon as I pressed the button to withdraw from the class, a huge weight lifted off me. It was a tough decision, yet I don’t regret it.
I finally feel like I’m back on top of everything again, and ready to conquer the world. 2012 is going to be my year, and I’m going to rock it.
I know I’m putting a bit of pressure on myself again – uni and a 52 in 52 list that includes a photo every day. But I think I have the support network around me to pick me up when I’m down. I feel strong and motivated again. I don’t feel like I’m going into this because I have to. I’m going into this because I want to.
Feb 28th is the start of classes again, and frankly, I can’t wait.

It’s just occurred to me how much I am a creature of habit. Not in the sense of complete OCD, I don’t have to put on my underwear in a particular way, for example. Although if I get them on inside out I will be a little upset. Unfortunately this has happened on numerous occasions when I haven’t been drunk, or in the dark, which is a little worrying.
But it’s just the small things where I realize I have particular favorites:
A particular loo cubicle at work
A particular mug at work
A certain spot on the couch
My underwear on the right way
It’s the loo cubicle that gets me. I don’t know what drew me to it. From what I can tell, it flushes the same way as others. It’s the same design as the others. Yet it’s the first one I head to, and if it’s occupied I do feel a little out of sorts.
Not enough to throw someone out of my cubicle of course
I could get poo on my hands.
Not my poo either.
Yuk.
Do you have anything in particular that you have a “favorite” of? That you immediately gravitate towards?

I must learn not to get distracted when making some toast for breakfast. I burned 4 pieces of toast before I finally got one that was edible.

Sitting on our back deck today, we had an amazing view of a golden moon.

My niece lost another tooth today, and couldn’t wait for the tooth fairy to visit that night.
