September 2 Catia 0

Well...after a mini vacation from blogging it's time to return. Even though, to my knowledge, I have no readers, it still helps me to get somethings off of my mind. So this is what has been missed:

• Ago died. Oh but I already blogged about that. It's setting in, the fact that he is no longer a physical presence in my life. I really miss him and I catch myself thinking about him a lot.
• I visited my family on the east coast. It's good that I did because two days after I left my grandmother was hospitalized. Cirrhosis of the liver I believe. A tainted blood transplant back in the 60s left her with Hep C. She's been living with it for years and she knew this could creep up on her. I don't think anyone expected it this soon though. Oh well. What my family went through last May and June is what we're going through right now. Home care, moving, hospitalizations: it's surreal.
• School started. That's always fun! (hint hint sarcasm). My classes are reading intensive and I'm already behind because....well....hmm....see below.
• September. Need I say more. I DO NOT like this month. In fact, I think I blogged about how much I hated it last year. Why do I have issues with September? (1) Its just a blahhh month. Nothing to special or significant going on. Actually i covered that last year... (2) September has not been good to me. I was sick (102 fever! doesn't help that there's a swine flu panic going around) and I sprained my ankle (damn racquetball). I played basketball for more than five years, I've been active, I exercise (I should more regulalry though) and I have never sprained my ankle before. Can you believe that? Actually that is soooo believable. Why am i even hung up about it? It happens to everyone. I think i'm just looking for reasons to hate this month. I think I'm anxious for November (I love it!) and so I want it to arrive as quickly as possible and September just "gets in the way" lol. October's better because the weather is nicer and it's fall, everything is changing. Hmmm....maybe a disseratation about September in grad school? Ojalá not. But I know...when i have a career I will be taking my vacations in September.

I can't think of anything else to worth blogging about in relation to this blog. But when something pops into my head, it will be noted!
