Festive Photos and Nerding Out

[aardogs]

I'm currently nerding out over The Force Awakens, which I saw yesterday. I can't remember the last time I fell so in love with a movie. I would see it again (and again, and again) in a heartbeat. It's so easy fall into the hole of endless entertainment on the internet, but when you see something that makes you genuinely feel things, it's just an incredible experience.

It's no secret that I'm not the biggest fan of the holidays, but I have been doing a lot better with them. I am used to being extremely busy and surrounded by people. When I'm here, it's endless unstructured solitary time. It's such a huge contrast that it is often shocking to my system. I've been pretty sick since I got home, and instead of trying to force myself to do things that I consider worthwhile, I'm trying to just embrace what I have here--the unstructured time and solitude. Those things can be relaxing and recharging, but I'm just not good at not doing everything all the time. It's all about framing.

Today I took a lot of festive photos.



Toby is such a cute old dog.



Panic did not enjoy the snowman posing.



Happy Holidays to everyone, I hope they bring good things no matter what they look like for you.

Best movie ever. It's about time the girl gets to go on the hero's journey!!!!! I fell so in love with it. It excited me that little girls will have a super role model, one who doesn't wait for the man to save her. Hollywood is getting better.

Also, best photos. Hard to believe they look so distinguished.

Love your photos! It's tough to go from super busy to lots of down time. Hope it is rejuvenating for you, though. I hope the holidays go okay for you. They'll be over soon. I so admire you for all you are doing at such a young age. I was not that brave when I was your age! Good for you. :-)

Thank you! I don't feel brave, but it's all about perspective isn't it? The best thing about the down time is getting to sleep in!

Cheer up Panicpants! Merry Christmas.

P.S. Gearing either up or down is always slightly painful experience. Yes.

Up, down, sideways--anything really, it always ends up being tough doesn't it? ;)
