ah, I finally don't feel like death is imminent. I feel like I've been sick for the entire month of May. Which is almost true - fever, then nausea, then two weeks of the worst sore throat I've ever had. It was hell. And, I had to have all that while moving back into my Orlando apt. It definitely put a damper on things. But, now that I'm here and feeling better, I'm letting it sink in. Back to work, back to writing and hang outs. It's nice. It's normal. I finally went to the gym for the first time since moving in yesterday, and used the pool the weekend before. Slowly getting adjusted. It's a nice complex, but it's so freaking huge. It takes ten minutes just to walk to the front (which, there is a Starbucks right outside of the complex, and that is amazing. Already spent an afternoon there.) I think it's gonna be a good summer.
And, my life wouldn't be its normal level of awkwardness without boy drama. This time it's a taken boy - an engaged boy. Yeah, I don't understand it. He's one of my good friends, and we go out drinking together and laugh and have fun, and I never thought anything of it, cause he's taken, right? Hmm, but he told me he has a super crush on me. I just, I just don't know what to do. Maybe it's an innocent thing? We were supposed to hang out last night but he canceled. This is dangerous ground I am stepping on, I will approach this situation with caution.
Besides that, I've been meeting with some of my classmates and we've been having independent workshops and it's been nice, to still have a writing community. After workshop we've been hanging out drinking beers, but last thursday, our friend John totally pulled out a bottle of Absinthe? I was coerced into taking a shot. No hallucinations, but I did throw up violently when I got home. So, never doing that again.
And then, there's work. So slow cause it's summer, and I'm slowly getting over the whole not being manager thing. It's just work now, I'm trying to not give a shit. Still adore most of my coworkers, and it's nice to see them. I'm really happy with my decision to come back to Orlando for the summer. Yeah, I'm paying rent, but I'm on my own and working and still writing and maintaining friendships and being independent. Sort of loving that.
