New boots for fall

While it is true that I am blessed with an overabundance of shoes, I found myself in need of a pair of boots for autumn. This is what I got. 

They survived being left out in the thunderstorms all day last Monday. I am so relieved because it took me a while to find a pair that suited my needs and this was the last pair in my size. Besides, I have an unnatural love of fringe so these got bonus points when I made my final selection.

Life update

I’m so tired! It’s been a great, busy week. I’m loving my new job. Everyone on this team is so smart and so supportive (significant raise doesn’t hurt either!). My biggest concern is that I don’t fall back into old, negative patterns out of habit and fuck it up. It’s so challenging and gives me a great opportunity to use my skills while learning some new ones. I’ve been putting in extra hours to get up to speed as fast as possible but didn’t even notice because the days have just flown by. I couldn’t be happier!

I could definitely use a good night’s sleep. The only thing I “have” to do tomorrow is try to tackle unpacking my books and the remaining shoes. The two things I have far more of than I should. (But they are books! I need shoes!) What a nice “problem” to have.

I’m heading to bed just as a thunderstorm is rolling in. My life truly is blessed.

Love to you all!
