About the housing thing... I thought my roommates and I would be moving to the upstairs apartment this month, but we're actually scheduled to move up on September 12th. Babe's roommate is moving out sometime in September too, so he'll have to find a new roommate or move into another place.

Housing changes and moves always get me thinking about a whole bunch of other things that compel me to look at the future and where everything in my life is going or not going, and where I could or should be going. How rooted am I, what/who is keeping me rooted, what do I really have and really not have? Friends. Parents. Relationships. Trust. Distance. Time. Possibilities. Options. Money. Work. Meaning. Loneliness. Love. God. Etc.

I'm shoving thoughts about most of these aside for now. A week of them has burned me out. If it's true that the more I think the more calories I burn, I'd be a nasty anorexic-looking, waif-like thing.
