cape cod.
yesterday mike and i went to cape cod to meet up with my brother and his wife. i was really nervous, as i hadn't seen or really spoken to my brother in about 2 years - we rarely see each other and when we do, it's usually with my parents and we just kind of get shuffled back into our old roles of big brother & annoying little sister.
i knew this trip would be different, or at least i hoped it would. and it was.
i had a great, great time with them. mike did too. it was literally the first time i spent a normal afternoon with my brother and had real adult conversation. it was so wonderful. it reassured me that my brother and i can have a normal sibling relationship and that all it took was some time for both of us to grow up.
cape cod was beautiful - we didn't have much time since we were only there for a few hours, but we walked around and had lunch.
i can't tell you how happy i am about it.
i don't want to go to work today, but i'm just heading out for my run (i run every morning around 6ish) and that's how i get motivated for my day. mike starts his new job tomorow so it's his last day off. i'm so excited for him!
i've started taking the city bus home from work - i actually really like it. it gives me some time to study for the praxis too as there's not much else to do on the bus. the trick is to book it down the street out of work so i can catch the earlier (4:37) bus as opposed to the 5:11 bus - it's a little tricky, seeing as i get off at 4:30. i made it on friday so we'll see today.
i'm still sending out resumes and looking for some leads for a decent job, i have to get out of this office atmosphere, it's killing me. i'm doing absolutely no greater good. well, maybe a little, but not the kind of greater good i'm looking for.
so we'll see. things are getting better by the minute here, though. we love our new place, our neighborhood and the city. and with mike starting his new job tomorow it looks like things will just keep on getting better.
thank god, it's about time.
