9/4/97
I've been sleepy most of the day. After dinner I gave in and took a nap. I fell asleep around 6:45 and when I woke up it was very dark outside. I looked at the clock--8:45. I couldn't believe I'd slept for two hours. Of course now at 11, I'm wide awake and probably will have a hard time getting to sleep tonight (*sigh*).
Today and yesterday have felt more like fall. The air is sharper, cool against my face. The sunlight flees earlier each evening as the weeks go by.
Tomorrow I'm having lunch with my friend who is moving out of state at the end of the month. Although we haven't spent as much time together lately as we used to (mainly due to school, work, and boyfriend for me and work and a new baby for her), we've been friends since 1990 when we met as freshmen in college. So many things are changing, and I'll be facing another change as soon as I finish graduate school this December. I would like to stay in the area (the upper South), but I'll just have to see how job prospects pan out.
That's all for tonight: although I'm not sleepy, my mind is kind of sluggish. I'll close with a quote from Virginia Woolf:
"Here, she felt, putting the spoon down, was the still space that lies about the heart of things, where one could move or rest, could wait now...listening."
