Good morning. Or afternoon. Or whatever. It's just after Noon, but I've been up for quite some time, so... afternoon it is.
I am trying to motivate myself to cart my laundry to the laundry room (in the next building) so it will be clean and folded with plenty of time to get to class tonight. It's a Clinical Practice with Groups class (for my MSW), and it's taught by the existential professor, which means we're split into groups and we experience each other. I find the exercise fascinating, but I don't know if it will make me a better clinician. I don't feel like I'm learning anything about group therapy. I'm learning a lot, first-hand, about how people interact in groups, but I see a lot of that anyway, what with volunteering and what-not. My group decided to watch movies. Last week was "Sleepers," which we will process tonight. Should be an interesting discussion, anyway.
So someone outbid me on Penny, and all the cheaper Japanese Pennys are off ebay now. I had a semi-reasonable (is $140 for a $20 doll ever reasonable?) bid on one of the US ones, but got outbid instantly. Maybe there will be some more Japanese ones up soon.
It's weird to have my car here. Now that we have Toulouse, I have Gargamel all the time. Kind of odd to go outside on a Monday and see him there. He got his oil changed, and he's happy. They gave me a little discount after the car-repair-fiasco of the other week. Whee!
Mark's been busy with houseguests this week. It's funny, I hardly notice he's gone because he spent the last month in Europe, though it's somewhat unsettling to have had him back for like two days and then*poof* gone again. Why am I so in need of connection?
Time to cart the laundry over. Quarters - someday I won't be so dependent on quarters. Then I'll know I'm /really/ a grownup.
