Easily amused.

I love how the ledge by my well-sealed leaking window doubles as a fridge. Nice!

Down and Up

Had one of the saddest conversations of my life earlier.. I couldn’t get a hold of my aunt while I was still at school, but I finally spoke with her today.  Broke my heart to bits.  We just cried and cried, well, me more than her - she’s so incredibly strong, I don’t know how she does it.. but every time I heard her choke up a little I started bawling.  Horrible..  I wish I could be there and give her the biggest hug.

I ended up finding more money at home than I thought I left here.  Amazing.  I guess it’s a good thing I forgot it here because it has made life a lot easier.  Or let me breathe a bit easier.  I’m still hot on a mission to sell everything I planned to, it’s just nice to know that I’m okay regardless.

I didn’t sleep one bit last night.  I fell asleep for about ten minutes right in the beginning of the flight, and then I was wide awake the rest of it, antsy as fuck.  It was brutal!  I kept trying to fall back asleep listening to music but no luck.  The stars were too beautiful, and I was way too excited.  I literally ran from the gate to the baggage claim area and tackled my dad haha.  And then my excitement crashed and burned when I got home and my mom opened her mouth.  And burned, and burned, and burned some more all day today.  Oh, home.

I’m going Starbucking with my beloved bestie in a little bit.  Soooo excited :)  I can’t believe it’s been over four months since we’ve seen each other.  We were supposed to get margaritas at Lalo’s, our specialty, but I’m feeling a bit sick after not sleeping at all and eating waaay too much food.
