Hmmmm. Just about ready to leave work in Shoreview, Minnesota. It hasn't started snowing yet. Honestly, I'm sort of looking forward to a bit of snow - I'm not ready for the cold yet, but I like it when a light snow is falling. After work I'm going to head over to a parrot shelter and play with some birds.

In terms of my life, things are going pretty well I suppose. I've been reading a lot more lately than I had for a while (currently about 50 pages to completion of Cat's Cradle by Vonnegut). I'm still loving and being challenged by my new job. I do wish I had a bit more free time. I feel like I'm working too much to have the energy to do a whole lot outside of work. I'm still feeling pretty down from my girlfriend leaving me 3 months ago. I really thought I would be feeling better by now - and some days are better than others - but it almost feels like I'm getting worse emotionally. So that's a bit shitty. But overall things are going fairly well.

Lovely thread :-) I'm enjoying reading through everyone's responses. These #askhubski threads really do get a lot more discussion than most other tags it seems.
