Snow is falling on my happiness.......

(all of these are google images)

This has been a very strange week.  I'm afraid I haven't accomplished very much.....I used the excuse of the wet, snowy weather to put off cleaning house, so today I'm doing it, even though I am very unexcited about it.  

Right after the new year, I saw a number of jobs that seemed very interesting.  I've applied for them, was interviewed twice, but still haven't heard from UNM.  I'm trying not to freak out, because my professor said that the process is quite lengthy.  But, I am being realistic  pessimistic, and figure I will probably not hear from them.  I have (sort of) moved on, and I applied for about 5 jobs last week.  This week I haven't applied for anything yet.  I'm planning on hitting it hard this afternoon after I've finished cleaning.  My mood improves a lot after accomplishing something (anything).

No, this wasn't taken at my house, but it's close enough.  We really only got about 2 to 3 inches over the course of the past couple of days, and the temp's were high enough to melt most of it, then we would get another inch the next morning.  Just enough to make the yard a muddy mess, and spend 15 to 20 minutes cleaning off dog paws before they went running through the house.

 Geez, I don't know where this was taken, but there's nothing worse than cold & windy.

So, I guess I would say I'm maintaining.  However, I did spend 3 hours with my professor on Monday.  I still haven't done my homework, but in my defense, I've already read the chapters he assigned, so I just need to re-read them and make some notes.  He is a very interesting person, and has had quite a career in anthropology/archaeology/cultural studies.  He has also written a few novels, and I will update you on those later.  First I want to read one, so will check out the library.  

Maybe I will add a few drops of liquor to my coffee, turn on the tunes, and pull out the vacuum cleaner, lol.
