sunday five

Everyone's doing it late this week, so I feel like I can too!

1) Has the weather where you are finally started acting like spring is here?
NOPE. I was at the pancreatic cancer walk this morning and it was so cold my lungs started spasming horribly and I couldn't even walk a mile because I could not breathe. It is icy and horrible.

2) Do you have any special spring activities or outings planned?
I don't trust that the season will ever change, so I can't really plan much. :( I'm supposed to be seeing my three favorite people who don't live anywhere near me at the end of this month and am hoping that the weather in Wisconsin will cooperate!

3) Have you started wearing different clothing appropriate to spring?
Yesterday I was only wearing 2 shirts and a light jacket! Today the cold came back. No sign of when it will leave again.

4) What signs of spring are manifesting around you?
Unfortunately, still nothing. So, so dreary and miserable, but when everything improves in two weeks I'll be glad I had this record of ... my ... seasonal misery ..?

5) Are there special foods you enjoy preparing and/or eating in the spring?
Preparing? Ha. But i enjoy eating fruit salads of various kinds, and the soft serve ice cream cones that in some parts of the world you can only get in warm weather.



Unrelatedly, I'm planning to quit my job with nothing else lined up. In part because it makes me work so, so hard that I don't have the energy to find a job that isn't torturing me as much. As soon as school ends, the day school ends, I'm also quitting. I wish I could have quit sooner and focused all my time on school, but I never got that option, so I'm finishing to the meager best of my ability (I hope, everything I do is late!) and then focusing 1000% of my effort on getting work I don't hate. Quickly, because I don't really have much money, and quitting for reasons of my health not going so far into the shitter I can't think clearly does not net me unemployment.

I wish I could have done my thesis without this bullshit.

It's probably good to try to live any of my life without it, though.
