I’ve kind of moved beyond the distal yearning for the school life. I just picked the word distal. There is a calm now in waiting for whenever it is the work will start, a few weeks still at this point. I have two days of training next week and then I start the next Friday. The Christmas crash is something I though I avoided this year but it is fully upon me.

We put away the decorations and stripped the tree of its red. Adorned with only blue it is now set for winter and for however long I choose to keep it.
