Home

Man, the weather is terrible. True November. Mom made me my favorite tea earlier today, orange spice, and even though it was caffeinated it totally put me to sleep. Something about the rain on the roof and my cat on my lap, and possibly having lugged my backpack and suitcase to the hospital today. My parents' house is a little too cold and draughty (hehe, I just like using such a British word) for comfort, as usual. But I was cuddled up in a big green/gold sweater-coat and I just conked out in an easy chair in my parents' kitchen "sun room."

I've been reading a lot of this column, "Act One" on the Wall Street Journal online (I'd link to it, but it requires paid online access). It's about the financial issues and decisions of twenty-somethings. It just makes me feel like I'm so financially lazy. I really should keep a closer eye on my expenses. Not that I'm hemorrhaging money at all, it's just that I don't look at what I spend, much at all. But considering the cost of medical school, it sort of seems silly for me to spend a lot of time worrying about the cost of my coffee drinks. On the other hand, I feel like I should identify wasteful habits and correct them now. Like, I should bring my lunch much more often than I have this past month. And instead of buying tea, I should make it at home and bring it in a travel mug. Sigh.

Anyway, I'm happy to be home. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! *hug*
