Boom.

We're finally getting some good thunderstorms in here tonight. Even if a lightning strike was likely what caused the fire a few years ago, I still love thunderstorms -- the smells, the charged air, the crack and boom of thunder and lightning -- and it's been too long since we've had one. Unfortunately it may interfere with my plans to DDR tonight, after my delayed birthday dinner tonight. (I get Mancino's and don't even have to go out to get it.)

I've been taking care of all the food cravings I've had recently this past week. I've been having some pretty nasty stuff, but I've been having it in moderation. I've definitely put on a bit of weight here, but nothing too serious. I almost can't wait to get back on my diet here, to be honest.

Similarly, next week when I start working on my Japanese and my MA exam reading, I'm hoping that will help take my mind off of the things that have preoccupied me this last week. I tend to dwell on negative things in my life a lot to start with, but especially this past week when I've tried to give myself as much relaxation time as possible, it's just led to some real depressive spells for me. Some vacation, huh?
