Lately, I don't think of this at all.

Things have been kinda puttering along for some time and nothing really blog-worthy has come up. The year had started out with such promise and promise is still here, though it feels as though its dropped slightly. Here are some things that have been going on.

Oakland Cemetery

In January, I had attended Second Saturday which is a monthly volunteering effort to help with the landscaping. I had wanted to do it for some time and I was really excited at the chance. I did something I cared about and that felt good. I quickly signed up for more volunteering opportunities and for the past couple of months, I've been training to become a tour guide and to work in the visitors center. Whenever I tell people that I volunteer at a cemetery, I do get the occasional odd looks, but once I start explaining the history and the quiet serenity easily found there, they don't think that it's such a bad idea. This past weekend was my first mentoring session and it went well.

Work

Work is...well, it's work. It's never too much fun but it's also never too boring. We've been working on a lot of great projects and getting ready for different presentations. It's been a blast working with Mike and JP (sometimes) and I'm grateful that I have a job.

Billy

Billy and I are doing well. We recently celebrated the fact we've been together for three years. I'm still not looking to get married any time soon. And I'm leaving it at that.

Health

Lately, I've been on a health food kick and I've had a desire to exercise. I haven't seen much difference and actually, I feel more tired and exhausted than ever before. Countless appointments need to be made (most especially, a dermatologist) and I just want to not feel as tired as I am.

If there's anything I've neglected to mention...oh well.
