Dear Big Sis,

Wow. Has it really been more than a month since either of us has posted? A lot has happened for the two of us, I'm sure. I just can't seem to remember all that much of it.

Truthfully, the last month has been relatively tumultuous. I can't seem to reach any stability, and I find that many of my relationships have become volatile. It's not a pleasant feeling. It makes me feel like I'm incapable of stability, incapable of keeping maintaining healthy relationships.

I have been knitting, though. So far I have finished a scarf for S and a hat for K. Both came out beautifully, and I'm really proud of myself. So far S has received his, and he likes it. I really do like making things for people. My current project is a capelet (like a short cape) for M. It's going to take quiet a bit more time, but I think I can manage it. I already started, but I need to start over because it isn't big enough. C'est la vie.

I have a job interview next week! This is very exciting, and I really do hope it goes well. I have been trying to get my life turned around, which means I'm going to bed BEFORE 5am, and getting up at an appropriate time. And doing job applications, instead of putzing around all day avoiding them. They are stressful, but overall I feel better having done them than not doing them at all.

What else... well, the weather is changing outside, slowly. It was 90 degrees today, which I know isn't very Fall-like weather, but it was beautiful. I took a nap in the hammock, until Chris threw some beans on me. Yeah, don't ask. Apparently it's snowing already in Ithaca. God, I miss Ithaca. I miss the first real snow of the year. It's so exciting, and so foreboding. You know that once the snow begins, it doesn't really stop for 4-5 months. And snow is beautiful, absolutely, but there is just too. damn. much of it. In the meantime, I'll be here in Austin, enjoying the warm breezes and smell of slooowly decaying leaves.

I hope you find time to write back soon, as this sporadic posting doesn't bode well for the health of the blog. Love you.

-Little Sis.
