scarfman | "Feast or famine" followup

ladyrutile suggests in the comments on my last post that "what [I] dislike is unheralded change". Which speaks if laterally to the factor that makes me as jealous of my downtime as I am right now. This perhaps ought to have been an element of the previous essay, but I didn't think of it then, and I think it would have been clutter there.

qtrhorserider graduated with her J.D. last May. She took the bar exam in February and will find out the results in April. Then she gets to hunt for a job or start a practice of her own. The point is, all this time and for awhile yet, we'll be living in a transition period; with many facets of our lives suspended between what-was-for-three-years (four actually, since she did her last year of undergraduate full-time) and whatever-comes-next-which-is-nebulous-itself. While not exactly unheralded - it was all in the program - this is, in a word, stressful, and when I say I need my downtime ... well, I mean it.

There probably won't be a Doctor Who sketch for today.

(Say, did I mention that Pegi is now married to my junior high school P.E. teacher? Did I mention that I must now weigh two or three times what I did then? Did I mention the word stressful?)
