Life is good.

Annual Performance evaluation complete, and I thought it was a very reasonable assessment, so I'm pleased. AwesomesauceBoss also pointed me toward some interesting online classes (for a post-bacc certificate in Health Informatics). I like taking classes, but I'm not sure if I've got the additional energy to spare for making it to regular meatspace classes, and this option is entirely online (from UIC). We've got a tuition benefit and he and I agree about what a damned shame it is to waste it, ever, so I'm psyched. Also got to catch him up on how well things are going with integrating patient-instructing and clinic escorting back into my life, and how happy that makes me. Since he's understood from the beginning how important those are to me, and really worked to get me into a shift that'd allow them, it was nice to be able to let him know that.

Saw the new Season 5, Episode 1 for Doctor Who, and am mightily pleased with Matt Smith as the new Doctor. I feel much like I did when David Tennant replaced Christopher Eccleston; fearful of disappointment and wonderfully pleasantly surprised. Also enjoying our newest companion so far, so double-yay on that!

Am getting into seasons of Farscape I'd never seen, and it's very exciting. When it was first out years ago, I had a meeting the night it was on and taped the eps for later viewing. I was already several months behind when I found out Zhaan was leaving, and got in a snit and stopped watching. I'm into Season 3 now, and it's awesome to get to discover it for the first time. Also, hot damn, is that some awesome chemistry! I always did love how that show handled sexuality (which is related to why my main LJ sexuality filter is named "Moya").

Housemates have been accomplishing huge amounts on the house, plus it's finally warm enough to de-plastic the windows and have air flow again!

IRS says I should be getting my tax refund on the 15th, and I've managed to sort all the finances so things are copacetic until then, which has alleviated a huge amount of stress.

My feelings exactly. I'm not sure I like the new layout of the TARDIS quite as much, but I'm sure I'll adjust.

*nod* I do miss the organic tree trunk feel of the last Tardis' support columns especially, although the steampunk feel of the new console is fun. And I loved seeing an actual explanation of the change, and the Doctor's explicit acknowledgment of it. I don't love the logo, or the music changes, but it's Doctor Who; I can't exactly get all that grumpy that they're going to change this stuff around every so often.

Yeah- the last Tardis was very organic in nature. This one is a bit too bright and disco-y for me. I don't like the opening credits either, but at least there's no floating head! [which I admit is kind-of hilarious]
