plodding along

It's kind of been so hard for me to adjust back into my San Francisco life. On the one hand, it feels great to be back. It feels great to see my friends here, especially the SF BFFs, Andrew and Lauren. And for the friends I haven't seen yet, I am looking forward to it. But on the other hand, everything feels funny. I don't think I was quite ready to come back yet.. I didn't feel like I had enough un-interrupted time in Florida. My surgery really took it out of me and there are so many things/people I would have really liked to soak up more while I was there. That being said, I was very blessed to have accomplished all the things I accomplished while I was down there, given the circumstances, and I can't really explain my sadness.

I've cried a lot in the past few months, but the other night was a doozy. I really think that having an animal here to cuddle and take care of, would help me a lot with my loneliness. In order to get approved, I'd have to see a therapist, and get their consent. I feel like I could make a pretty good case though.

I've been going to yoga every week. That's really nice. I might start going twice. And I've been trying to meditate more. It really helps in so many ways.

Today I went to see "Never Let Me Go" with Andrew. It was a beautiful film, I would definitely recommend it... but bring tissues, because it is one of the saddest flicks I've seen in a long time. Superb acting! Carey Mulligan is absolutely fabulous. And I love her hair!!

I've been watching a lot of stand up comedy. I'm going to start writing some acts here soon I think, Andrew said that by next summer I will be doing open mic nights. We'll see how that goes- I nearly had a heart attack the other day, when I had to sing in front of the class.

Tonight I had a lovely dinner at a small chinese place, with the sweetest asian staff ever. They comped my pot stickers, because they said that my meal took too long to come out, which it didn't. And their tea was just delightful.

  1. I totally feel you on not being ready to leave home. I'm so bad about not wanting to leave (even though I love school when I'm here), but I think it has a lot to do with stress. When I'm home things just feel easier, and often times when I'm at school I feel really stressed out and exhausted.

    You should get a pet! I would love to bring my dog up here, but he's super attached to my dad (who works from home), and I think it would be really upsetting for him. There is this adorable cat in one of the parking lots here that I always see. I wish I could scoop him up and take him home with me, but I'm allergic. :(

    I hope that things start looking up. I'm glad that yoga is helping you and that you had a lovely dinner at the Chinese restaurant. It's amazing how the little things can make a day so much better! And, I'm sure your singing was just fine!!

    Have a splendid week!! XOXO

  2. I love this :) I'm sad that I didn't get to see you while you were here. I love yoga! Bah. I wish I still did it. I took a class at USF in the Spring for it, haha.

    And, hey. I'm lonely a lot too. But it's all good. I'm here via text or Skype whenever you need me. And you should totally get something cuddly. I support you completely in that.

  3. That's exactly how I feel, Roxanne.

    Thanks for the support on the pet, ladies. Unfortunately, my apartment building doesn't allow pets :(

    Sarah, we should definitely skype soon.
