Springtime!

We had a glorious week of spring weather and now some good soaking rain. It should make all the spring stuff bloom. DS has had me running the gauntlet again. He is deciding his schooling for next year and has made some decisions that disappoint me, but they have to be his decisions. The only thing we require is that he has to take 3 years of a world language so that he has that college requirement out of the way. He went on his first trip alone and did fantastic. He didn't forget anything, he got where he was supposed to be, etc. I should feel proud that he got it all right, cause that means we prepared him well.
Things have been going well for me too. A couple of urges to self-injure, but passed through them quickly. Right now I have poison ivy covering my scars and they itch like crazy-first time I've ever had it. Gotta go!

Still Winter

I haven't written in almost a month and winter is still here. It is about forty degrees during the day and about twenty five at night. And it's supposed to snow on Thursday, just when DS leaves for Virginia. Well, I survived another Easter without cutting. It is so hard to do that because I feel like I should make some sort of sacrifice too. In any case we had dinner with Mom and Dad and S3 and her family which was nice. I have purchased a few new clothes to wear-some sweaters and skirts that will go into spring and to the end of the year. I need a couple more but I have to wait until after taxes.
At least it is sunny out. I just finished reading Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer. It is a great book about an asteroid hitting the moon and moving it closer to earth and the apocalyptic evens that occur as a result. The book kept me looking up at the moon to make sure it was still where it belongs. Now I'm finishing Harry Potter before the last one comes out. I have also begun reading Uglies by Scott Westerfeld which is supposed to be very good.
