Lazy Lazy Ice Storm Day

I hear the thunder and the ice beating against the windows, and no I am not scared...ice storms are supposed to be silent in my prejudiced opinion (ever seen the movie The Ice Storm) but here it has been full of sounds. Plus, I took a nap and when I woke up my eyes were closed (duh) and I heard sounds like crazy...including Milo running down the stairs meowing. He must have been listening to the ice storm as well.

Today I talked to my advisor and he wants me to write a two page paper explaining postfeminist pedagogy and a five page paper explaining the main issues of feminism and how postfeminism reacts against it. It should help focus my dissertation prospectus and perhaps help my bibliography flailing (it is strange doing a bibliography before cogent ideas!). We agreed that what I have been doing so far is brainstorming and he seems positive about my ideas that I have sent him. It is good to be on track in that department--as my credit card company put it, graduating with my Ph.D. is one of my milestones in life!

Things are doing better on the homefront...the house is starting to be more organized/comfortable for both Matt and I and we are starting to run smoothly as well. As anyone might now, change is traumatic and as my therapist says, "You can't step into the same river twice." :-) But, everyday is a change and growth in my opinion and so this sort of saying can be seen as empty that sameness is an illusion anyway. Speaking of the doctor, we talked a bit about Jungian concepts of synchronicity in my therapy session and he gave me a Reiki relaxation CD. As I keep telling Matt and family, my theme song right now is, "I'm Not Crazy, I'm Just a Little Unwell." !!!

Okay, if you want a positive quote creator, to help you with building your positive energy, here goes: Motivational Maker. Okay, at least I didn't burn a copy of the Reiki CD to my blog! ;-)
