Missing Wisconsin...
I am sweltering in 105 degree+ heat here today, and talking to Kate back in Milwaukee, and missing home. I miss lakes & rivers and going kayaking. I miss little coffeeshops like Racy's in Eau Claire and the Cream City Blend from Stone Creek in the Milwaukee area (seriously, care package anyone? I'd love you even more than I already do). I miss frozen custard (oh, Kopp's, LeDuc's, even Culver's!!!). I miss the cows and mooing out the window at them. I miss rain and that almost-ready-to-rain-and-worms smell in the air. I miss robins, and the bald eagles in Eau Claire. I miss having a two-story duplex and more windows to hang my stained glass in. I miss driving to Mom's for the weekend and sitting in her super-green plant-filled backyard watching for hummingbirds. (However, I don't miss mosquitoes... you can have 'em.) I miss riding my bike to work and my yoga teachers. I really hate having to spend so much time & gas commuting :( And gee, I miss my friends & family...
I'm really OK, just feeling very alone in this strange city. I might have to go out for ice cream tonight... Cold Stone's Mud Pie Mojo may have to suffice.
