holidays are coming

 A minute ago I was thinking "oh I should post about things" and now I have forgotten those things!

 Oh well. [personal profile] winterlover I'm so sorry to have missed you over the weekend. Had a weird few days and didn't make it out to see any lovely fangirl visitors and I am sad. :( Sounds like you had a great trip and I know it won't be long before London tempts you back again. <3

But I did get to see a [personal profile] surexit on last week which was awesome. (she is alive!!!) We saw Captain America: The Winter Soldier which I really did enjoy. Mostly it was just great to see the friendship between Steve and Natasha and have it not be at all sexual, even when they had a moment on the escalators, it was totally cool! That was lovely and refreshing. 

Other news: I get to go on holiday soon! New York! Canada! Lovely long train journeys with friends at the end! I am beside myself with excitement. <3333

I'm learning to fly a plane on Saturday. My first, and likely, only, lesson. Code Name Verity eat your heart out because I am taking to the skies! 

I am so excited about all these opportunities! I spent a few hours today with someone for whom having nothing was a wealth compared to the way he was treated back home. His physical safety was all he was asking for and even that remains pretty precarious. But here I am with an embarrassment of riches, I struggle to know how to be appropriately grateful. So I want you to know, I'm really grateful!

Ooh, flying, exciting!! :D

Yeah, I know what you mean about gratitude. I try to be mindful of that always, but I still have guilt!

AND I got your message about travel dates - on vacation now and don't have my calendar thingy (I am old school and write it down) but I think the Monday would work best for me to try and meet up if you have any time that day, weekends are crazy with baseball/softball this spring.
