All the time I got to spend uninterrupted with my bff
The re-entry wasn't pretty. Spending 3 days surrounded by people I don't get to see on a regular basis, but wish I could see on a regular basis doing and eating what I wanted when I wanted ruled. Coming back to the reality of a dirty house and an empty fridge and a depleted bank account and a job I don't love and a few pounds heavier sucked.
BUT The Elephant 6 show is next Wednesday in Kalamazoo. I'm planning another trip to Chicago as soon as I can get a reservation at The Girl and The Goat and afford a meal at The Girl and The Goat. I get to see Animal Collective, Fleet Foxes, The Dismemberment Plan, Ariel Pink and god knows who else at Pitchfork this summer. I have a bi-monthly date with the bff where various sewing, knitting, crafty things will happen. I have running plans. Rasa and the cutest dog in the universe, Mouse, are moving to Chicago. I have some plans involving getting rid of my student loan debt once and for all thanks to the guidance and excel wizardry of Julie.
And most importantly:
Spring will happen followed by summer which means market days and good eating.
I will not lose the emotional ground I have gained the past 2 weeks.
No matter what.

THE HOUSE WASN'T THAT DIRTY
It was dirty enough. I'm sorry I am a bitch. I will try and warn you about that more. Thank you for the Bonnie "Prince" Billy shout-out on WTHS. The sadness show. On my college's radio station. Sadness indeed.
