i've got to say. the weather here is so gross. i'm hating england today. it's like this wet slush is coming out of the sky. sometimes i get so homesick and it's like a lump in my throat. my neck will ache and i'll feel so tired. not to be negative but it just seems like i can't settle down. i miss the food in america, thrifting (so much), the weather, people. people here in leeds are really hard work. when can we leave? it just feels like i came here with all this energy and everything has been against me. my spirit has been broken a bit and i haven't felt like myself in so long. two years ago...i'd never have been like this. i was so positive. i need to get back to that girl. sheesh all i do on live journal is whine. things are better than they seem today. i'm getting away from my job, we'll have our own flat soon (not be sharing with other people) and maybe not living in leeds. we have lot's of fun, nice times and i need to focus on those clearly!! tonight i am working because we are hosting a raw food event at work. raw foodists are a funny lot. it'll be a laugh. james is going to help me. i'm all for eating lot's of raw food...but this group of people think raw or nothing. they scoff at those who eat cooked. it's really weird actually. what is raw comfort food? i suppose they get comfort from things like yoga. carrot juice? i don't know. they are all really sweet and it's really a benefit for animal rights. which is a nice cause. especially considering we run a vegetarian coop! it'll be interesting to taste the foods they make. last time it was all delicious. but i'll be eating my soup hot thank you! thursday at the flea market i scored a bag of amazing doilies so i am pleased about that. well...i'm going to go make some fresh tomato soup (my new fav thing to make) and grilled cheese. comfort food at it's finest!!
