101 — Prime, baby, prime

Today's post is my 101st.  Yes, I have made it into the triple digits, posting every day.  Most people are obsessed with numbers that end in 0, but that's not me.  My friends know that I love prime numbers, numbers squared, and numbers to the nth power.

A prime number is a number divisible only by itself and 1, and 101 is the first three digit prime.

I'm not exactly sure what I could say here that I didn't say in my 50th post.  (I guess back then I was more conventionally obsessed with numbers ending in 0.)  But I'll give it a shot.

A friend of mine remarked to me, "Well, I thought that your blog was going to be all about your leave, but I guess it can be about anything that's happening to you, huh?"

And that's right.  I look back on the titles of my blog posts and I can see what was happening in my life, what I was thinking about, and what I was doing or not doing.  It's impossible for every day of my leave to be important and meaningful, because I still have to do the dishes and the laundry, cook meals, pay the bills, get the car washed, etc.

However, I do have the luxury to look at everything that I do through the beautiful blue lens of my year off.  Because I can do some of those everyday things during the work day, thereby having more time with my honey in the evenings.  Or I can get all those things done and still jet off to Los Angeles for two weeks, attend a writing workshop, visit my family, go to my high school reunion, and come back home and do all that daily stuff again.

I get to make the decisions, regardless of the school calendar.  And that's how I have managed to write 101 daily blog posts, which is worth celebrating.
