It's been relatively quiet here lately, and I think I'm getting into the groove of things.  I picked up an IT volunteer position yesterday, which I'm hoping will keep me busy while SML is gone all day, every day.  I'm saying that in a very supportive way, but sometimes SML's schedule is a little disappointing; who goes to school seven days a week. I'm almost thinking that we should become fundamentalists so that it would be against SML's religion to participate on Sundays.

SML's parents came to Boston for the last couple of days to help SML's sister and husband move into their new apartment in Cambridge.  Their visit has so dramatically changed my mood because I desperately needed something familiar besides Starbucks and McDonald's.  When I'm new or unfamiliar places I start to become completely paranoid about my surroundings, that someone is breaking in through a window or that the apartment maintenance people are going to steal my iMac. 

A couple of nights ago, as Hurricane Hanna was moving up the coast, I kept imagining total disaster in Boston and that we wouldn't have any clean drinking water.  I woke SML in the middle of the night to tell him we should go and buy bottled water and emergency supplies, startling SML because he was unsure if I meant we should go right that instant. SML argued later that we could just boil the water if it were unsafe but I countered with, "What if the gas for the stove is cut off? WHAT THEN."
