Decisions

Made a hair appointment to return to Redken 05RV Sangria in a few weeks.

I am no longer going to apply to teach in Europe (a backup if I don’t get into VCU. SIDE NOTE: I won’t know anything about my MFA application until early March, so yeah…). Since I have been so lucky living closer to my family and friends over the past year and a half, I have realized living in another country just wouldn’t do.Thus, Europe will remain a travel destination, but will require significantly more visitations.

I have 7.5 weeks until I file the paperwork to become officially single again and I have decided to return to using my maiden name of Harmon. You’ve probably already seen the change on FB.

Lastly, two cities have been added to my list of places to relocate once my time comes to an end in Lexington (again, as a backup to an MFA from VCU in Richmond); Washington, D.C. and Raleigh, N.C..

the South HAS risen again!

Flooding, non-stop rain, gloomy skies and chili/chilly weather…that’s what’s happening in the Southern states right now. Yesterday I came home to let Wesley out and there was no power, so I left. When I returned over 6 hours later, there was still no power. I ended up cleaning my bathroom by candlelight and eating cold sweet potatoes for dinner. It made me realize I need some sort of hand crank cell phone charger and definitely a way to cook my food should I ever lose power for that long again. More candles and batteries too….and maybe an emergency blanket. and some MREs.

OK, I’m done. Leaving for Columbia tomorrow to spend another glorious weekend out of tiny Lexington. Just hope the weather calls it quits for the UF vs. SC game!
