it seems as though i'm already failing at keeping a regular diary of happenings in my life.  though, i do not have much of one lately as i have succumb to working six days a week.  it's not so bad, however, as my second (new) job is amazing.  as usual, i've taken after my mother in my love for the treasures of generations past, as it's grown stronger over the years.  now i get to spend three days a week in a workplace surrounded by such wonderful things.

my free time as of late has been spent catching up on sleep, reading and being with the boy of my dreams as often as possible.  i've even begun to put pencil to paper again, though not as frequently as i should hope to from now on.

all in all, i'm feelin' pretty swell!
