right now, pete and chris are on the road to nc. they’ll be here when i wake up. or rather, i’ll wake up when they get here. i have little st patricks day packages waiting on their beds, because i am the best person to visit on st patricks day weekend. keep this in mind, as i’m taking reservations for next year.
this week has been a blur of getting ready for their trip, getting ready for honduras. i’m really excited about both. i forgot how much i like to just be really, ridiculously busy. as long as i can stay on top of everything, i think that’s how i’m happiest. i built in a lot of nothingness into my life after my college graduation so i could get back to the place where i felt like i could keep up, but i don’t think that’s really necessary anymore. i’m caught up.
well anyway, Internet, i just wanted to check in since this may be the last post before honduras. we’ll see—maybe another sunday after the boys leave. I’m sitting on my fabulous bed under my fabulous lamp that David helped me hang (read: hung) tonight and i just painted my toenails a fabulous hot pink, so clearly, life is pretty good.
It’s hard for me to articulate how this is news, but today was also a very symbolic day for me, as I’ve decided to officially break away from the unnecessary bullshit in my life. There’s enough necessary bullshit as it is, and I just don’t feel like I benefit from the drama. the sorrow that comes with this decision is seriously tempered by pride and maybe a little relief, so i think it’s a good one. this is going to be an amazing weekend followed by an amazing week, and when i return, i’m just going to pretend like none of the rest of it ever happened.
i always have to remind myself that every amazing thing that’s ever happened to me has come around the corner from something depressing, and i think things are on the rise. not in the 2002-duke-football-slogan kinda way though. that was fucking awful. like actually, things are going to be better.
ok. that’s my news. i should go to bed. goodnight, Internet <3
Good Plan. You’re on the right track…as usual. Looking forward to hearing about your weekend and photos of Honduras. xoxo ME
