A hodgepodge of information
Going home was just what I needed. Hugging my parents helped balance me back out. Though the continual triple digit heat reminded me why I came to Santa Cruz. At eight p.m.,way after sunset, it was still 108 degrees...ewwwwwwww. And I was very very glad to see my relations for my aunt and dad's birthdays. But it was hard to see Grandfather. When I came in to the restaraunt i was struck by how frail he looked in his chair. His eyes would sometimes glaze over and his lip hung loosely, like at times his spirit would leave his body and there was just a limp shell in place. His health is stable at the moment, but I know it won't be long and I fear for my Dad and grandmother when it does happen.
A few good notes. I finished the blanket for my parents. It was all soft and pretty and I am happy that its finally complete. Wonder what project I should attempt next. On the flight home I ended up striking up a conversation with a nice guy, Scott, because he was reading Princess Bride. I felt thrust in the adult world when we landed because he asked for my number. First that was shock and flattery cause here was this attractive guy showing such interest when I felt all icky, just rolled out of bed, hadn't showered, smoggy l.a.ness. But also realizing that when you get out of college, thats mostly what is out there in the world. Bump into people and exhange numbers or friends set you up on blind dates and all this well 'you seem cool, let's see if theres more' kinda thing. It's very weird. I know nothing will happen, but it was just interesting to have happen all the same. Then Io and I went to this amazing beyond amazing cove, the waves were spectacular and I hope to go though closer to daylight hours when its bright and warm and we can go climbing on the rocks. And at Capitola, the waves were crashing up against the railings. You could feel the force vibrate through the ground. Sooooo cool. And last good thing, I came home to very alive and healthy fish and hamster. Had the little worry that I would comme back to find my baby not so okay. But she is happy and healthy and runs in her wheel like usual.
