back in the saddle again
Well here she is, ladies and gentleman. Back in the U-nited States of 'Merica. I'm bathing in the freedom.
What'd I miss?!
I was welcomed by a wonderful package from notafraidofruin and a new bicycle pump in the mail, a meowy cat, and a much-missed M.
I have unpacked my spoils - yes, I lugged an entire bowl and tea set back to the States, three jugs of honey, and artichoke tea. I have my priorities straight, let me tell you.
I am jetlagged something fierce even though I guess it could be worse. And I have to teach today. I have that familiar tension in my back again but I'm ready to be productive. This semester, no courses, just teaching and working on my thesis. It's exciting and daunting.
I am dreaming about Canada for doctoral studies. I have no idea where to go or who to be anymore. I'd like to travel more. Try more new things.
I have a journal from every day of my trip. I will work on posting that up and slowly but surely sorting through about 500 photos.
I want to fill my life with love. I'm tired of drama and heartache and giving people too much power with their words because I'm trying to be empathetic. I am putting my foot down. Do not misconstrue my kindness as weakness.
More tea dates must commence. Ridge, this means you, honey bunny. We need to stop this not-seeing-each-other-for-months-at-a-time business. This means anyone who hasn't seen me in a while. I want to give my support and affection.
