Yes, I'm still alive. For most of October I was working every day of the week, except Wednesdays. I'm now a supervisor, which means I get to be the night manager on duty on Tuesdays. Whee! I really like doing it (in addition to the nice paycheck it brings).
My AeroGarden plants are growing well. Of the three, one didn't germinate. I think that's because the seeds were on TOP of the pod instead of in it.
I managed to make my desk more comfortable today. It has a keyboard tray, and before the tray would only pull out a little bit (about halfway out from under the desk top). Frustrated with that this morning, I pulled it really hard and it slid out "all" the way. There must have been some "stop" that I needed to get past and hadn't done before.
My favorite Quaker Instant Oatmeal is Dinosaur Eggs. Yes, it tastes the same as the other brown sugar oatmeal. But I love the dinosaurs!
I'm applying to three optometry schools: Ohio State, Indiana University, and Illinois College of Optometry. I just have to finish the personal statement for the applications, get my letters of recommendation into the colleges, and take the Optometry Admissions Test. I take that on December 3, so wish me luck. I'm SO nervous.
My boyfriend is on the "nights" portion of his shift work, so he works from 7p to 7a, and sleeps all day. It's very strange to know that he's here...but I can't talk to him. Urgh. It gives me plenty of quiet time to study, but I don't get to see very much of him. Just a smidge here and there. Tonight we both don't work, so we'll get to hang out for awhile. Yay!
I love walking to the grocery! We live right across the street from Kroger, and I get some minor exercise by walking over there a handful of times per week. It also ensures that I don't overbuy things since I have to carry it all home. Nice little system :-) I really need to make a walking plan and walk every day, but I haven't gotten motivated yet. And then it got cold. Bleh. Perhaps when spring arrives?
Gas prices are absolutely amazing right now. $2.18 at my favorite gas station.
I wish we had a kitty to keep me company. And to roll around in the glorious patches of sunshine on our carpet. *Sigh*
Until next time...

Glad to see you alive, although I have no room to talk. I think I'm done photoblogging and ready to blog about the new job/coast/life. That would require me to get off my lazy butt, though :-p
I hope you're finding time to enjoy life with all that work! Have fun, and say hi to everyone for me at Thanksgiving if you get to go!
What luxury to have a grocery store within walking distance! Fresh produce all the time, snap decisions about dinner, no overbuying...sounds terrific.
Does your landlord not allow pets?
mikey--I keep checking your blog semi-regularly to see what's up! I won't be going home at Thanksgiving, with any luck I'm heading back to Maryland to spend the weekend down there!
nance--it IS a luxury. I rarely drive over there, unless I'm buying for the week or dropping off the recycling. It's perfect for when I go...oops, I forgot the _______ for this recipe! Our apartment complex does not allow pets. Even if they did, they expense of a cat, even though they are lower maintenance, is prohibitive.
