shivery

My female owner has been back in Brisbane for only a month but she says it feels as if she has been back for a long time, like 2-3 months. The main reason is of course, her jumping straight into placement, work and thesis, which in turn, forces her to establish a weekly routine that requires her to wake up early most mornings. My female owner says this is more stressful than working. “This” being, the daily battle between her flesh and her conscience when she switches off the snooze button for the umpteen time.

Yes, besides tweaking her circadian rhythm, my female owner is trying to adjust her seasonal routine too. You know, it’s going to be autumn soon and the thought of it sends shivers down her spine. After shivery autumn would be spooky winter. But that is still a few months down the road and she has decided to deal with winter when it comes.

2009 was a year of relaxation and refreshing, and in sharp contrast, 2010 has been an uphill experience. My female owner expects the next few months to remain challenging but looks forward (so she says) to the growth and development that come with stretching.
