Feeling Better Cometh in the Morning

I'm doing much better today. The rent issues we were having with our landlord (which I was too frustrated about too blog about yesterday without offending the more tender language sensibilities of some of my readers) have been resolved, thanks to Matt; the memo assignment I've been struggling with isn't really going any better, but I'm learning to let it go. I'm clinging to the knowledge that my worst-case scenario is to flunk out of law school and work as a nurse for more than I'll probably make as a public-interest lawyer. And as I said, there are a couple of like-minded souls here and that's really all I can ask for.

Last night, the icing on the cake was that Matt suggested after school/work that we walk straight from the train station to The Old Siam, a Thai restaurant we've wanted to try for a little while. I hadn't had chicken curry since we moved, and it was certainly a welcome experience. We ate outside, relaxed and splurged a little bit, and it was just what I needed. A big thank you to Matt for always knowing just what will make me feel better! Sometimes it's a foot rub, sometimes it's dinner out, and sometimes it's a kick in the pants, but he's always on target.

Today, I only have two classes and after that and a study session, I'm going grocery shopping, which is always enough to cheer me up considerably. Current challenge: finding a place to buy cornhusks so we can make tortillas. We should have a pretty laid-back evening and then tomorrow I work; and my tight neck muscles are already looking forward to Sunday morning yoga!

And, on an even more exciting note: We booked our plane tickets for Christmas yesterday!
