2:06 am	I'm back from two weeks with my mum's family.  It was nice to see everyone that I don't get to see very often (an ocean between family members tends to do that) but I didn't find any magical answers there like I'd hoped.  I wish someone had some though. So, clearly, I'm not happy Jay today so everyone needs to tell me all the amazing things they did while I was gone and cheer me up in the process. Also, is anyone else getting weird messages on their flowns? (37 Comments |Comment on this)

1:25 pm	Private to Lu, Paige, Ace and Logan Just letting you guys know that I'm taking a couple weeks off and going to visit some of Mom's family in the States starting next Monday.  You know how to contact me if you need me.  I'll have my journal but I don't know how often I'll check it. /Private Private I'm starting to think that I know what a quarter life crisis feels like.  I love my job, I love Ace, I love my friends and my life is amazing right now but I feel SO restless and I don't know why.  I keep trying to put my finger on it but it's just not coming to me.  I know that leaving isn't going to fix anything but at the same time I don't feel like it's going to make things worse either.  I keep grasping at things that I think will help, the aborted puppy attempt, throwing myself into work, forcing Paige to go to movies with me every night for weeks at a time but nothing's working.  Then I wonder if maybe it's because I'm seeing friends moving on and moving up, getting better jobs, getting married soon probably starting families and I'm in the exact same place I was the day we graduated.  But moving forward scares me.  And I don't really know where I would move forward to.  So instead I stand in the same spot kicking the dirt like a four-year-old who doesn't know what they want. /Private (13 Comments |Comment on this)

1:13 am	You know, sometimes I wonder why I chose to do what I do.  It isn't glamorous and it certainly isn't high paying.  And then there are days like today.  I manned (womaned?) the library booth in Diagon Alley for Children's day and it was so much fun.  Seeing how excited they can get over stories and how alive and in the moment kids are.  It makes me happy.  And jealous.  I wish sometimes that things were still that free.  That we didn't have to worry about bills and weird co-workers and whether or not you remembered to buy milk. Also gigantic belated thanks to Lu-Lu for my "ginormous" bear.  He's a very sweet bear and he's very cuddly not quite as cuddly as a puppy though or (9 Comments |Comment on this)

7:58 pm	I'm looking forward to 1920's day at Hogsmeade tomorrow.  Anyone want to join me?  This is just about the only time that I get to wear a costume that flatters my extreme lack of cleavage. Also, Lu-Lu and Paige have we ever discussed getting a puppy or a kitten?  I feel the need for something frisky and snuggly.   (33 Comments |Comment on this)

3:55 pm	Wow this week has been insane!  Special thanks again for the birthday wishes and gifts because even if I didn't say it on Monday when I should have you guys can't know how amazing I think you all are.  My birthday was amazing with breakfast with Paige (a birthday tradition I never want to end) and afternoon with the amazing Ace (I love, love, LOVED the record player and the picnic was perfect even if we did have to think fast coming up with a blanket) and dinner and cake with everyone was so much fun.   And now onto why Monday didn't involve thank you notes in my journal.  I got to work and found out that the children's librarian had called in sick which made me happy since that's my favourite place to be anyway.  Unfortunately for me this was also the day that little Addie the most adorable little towheaded girl with pigtails came down with some kind of stomach bug while I was reading to her.  And she vomitted all over me.  It wasn't pleasant by any stretch of the imagination.  It isn't that I haven't been puked on before but somehow it's different when the puker is family. The rest of the week didn't have quite the story behind it, I just spent most of it running errands and working on an order for new books for the library.  (20 Comments |Comment on this)

12:35 pm	[Private] Logan's coming back and somehow it feels like a piece of me is returning with him.  Sometimes I wonder about the way that I rely on my friends to act as an extension of my family.  But it's really the only thing I've ever known.  Dad's family isn't super close and Mum's family is in the States now so the only people I've really known as family are the Gumboils and the Summerbys.  So it seems perfectly natural to me to see Logan as a member of my family.  Sure, I've been able to talk to him but Owls just aren't the same.  And  I know him so I know the first thing he's going to ask and it's the last question I want to answer. [/Private] My parents have this thing about letting us choose our own nicknames (those of us who have names that warrant one that is).  I chose Jay when I was six, Stevie was about the same age when she decided she didn't want to be called Steph or Stephanie.  Annette has decided that she wants to be called Nan after our great-nan (who she was named after).  I was a little surprised at her choice but who am I to say anything, I chose my own name too.
