I got to my client’s house and there was no key! Since I was already up at the top of the “mountain” I decided to go on a hike. I went through the most beautiful woods. I stopped several times with tears in my eyes, listening to the birds and seeing the sun stream through the woods on the very green moss and leaves.God made the Oregon woods! I had my knife in-hand continually, except when people passed me (there was one runner). I’m starting to think I am afraid for nothing. Mountain lions live there (they’ve probably seen me!) but they feed on other things.  Of course, it’ll be greener in spring when more leaves are on the trees.

I’m on the verge of being sick. Sometimes I have a sore throat, sometimes I feel fine, most of the time I’m a little congested. When I get enough sleep I seem to be fine. I’m making broth right now with the chicken backs and necks that I bought yesterday. Yum yum! It was so cool to see the soup I made last time get all gelatinous when it was chilled in the fridge. I have a client who regularly makes broths and their chicken broth, when chilled, is like very stiff gelatin. You could make chicken flavored gummy bears! (Ew!)

I love my writing class. Although right now I’m putting off working on my second essay, I really enjoy it once I get into it. I’m thrilled to have gotten positive feedback from the professor, even though I haven’t gotten my first paper back with a grade yet.  I also like math class, but we’re going just a little too fast right now and I’m having trouble understanding concepts. Basically I take notes and then come home to study. But I’m putting that off because I’m just afraid of it! I don’t know why. Every time I put myself to it, I learn it. But there’s just that feeling. Ugh. We had a test a few days ago. The professor said if we get A’s on the two midterm tests, we don’t have to take the final and we get an A! I am *so* hoping it’s an A on this one.

 

I don’t know why I don’t blog regularly anymore. I just don’t feel like it most of the time.
