| | Four months and not an incredible amount has happened. Four months and I am still having dinners at Eustis St, still volunteering with YESKids, still on my fixed gear and sadder still, still avoiding issues in my life that need resolutions.
I've taken steps in the right direction to change though--wrote a letter, stayed up in bed, made the decision to apply to law school for sure this fall, and found a second job. Baby steps, but any steps are good ones in my book.
Yesterday was a Mt. day with YES, I chaperoned with kids from the Murphy School in Dorchester--lots of white kids with thick accents. My third time on Skis and I still am not close to making it down a green slope without falling on my /face/. I fell four times I think--and it's quite a tumble when you are going so fast. It feels fast to me anyhow. DT pops up in my mind, a Junior Olympic rated skier and friend of mine, and I can't even imagine what he does and how fast he does it.
Tomorrow will be a mt. day as well, Black Mt for the day. Another day of skiing and this time the W's will be on the trip as well. I got reintroduced to Matt W and his new wife Elin W as they volunteer with YES and have remained close with Timmy and Katie C. Turns out they live literally down the street from my girls on Forrest Hills Ave. What a neighborhood.
Speaking of neighborhood, I ran into Nate F and Stig totally working the corner at Beacon and Harvard in Coolidge. Ha! They were in town together for a film and we chatted away, I was leaning on my bike and totally fell on my ass while talking to them. Bizarre.
Nate's interested in the soon to be empty room next to mine and I hope it works out--though it will be interesting...He's a real .character. and a total guy. Such a change from the people I am normally with.
I've been spending so much time at the Forrest Hills place that Julie gave me a toothbrush. Her bed's the best, Brenda's room is always so cold, and I need clothes there so I don't always have to be taking B's--not to mention underwear.
With the fall fast approaching I'm starting to think of my own apt plans--whether to stay in my Bkline place or move to Cambridge (Eustis St is going to Inman, though Zach is staying where he is), or even JP. With B and Leah off to grad school, Julie will be left alone but maybe she'll choose KK's place. I don't think I could live with her anyway. My JP community will be drying up soon.
Things that are making me happy include my BailyWorks bag (as always), being YouTube free for lent, SamPo on my buddy list, vegan cupcake baking, Urban's fifty percent off fifty percent (though that made me broke too), really detailed itineraries, my boss not going to Atlanta between her NY and LA trips, my bike Jack, MSCL, seeing BenMo after years and years and getting to hear how he hates being queer 'cause gay sex is gross while businessmen overhear, dreddy Amy moving back to town, BK's bday tonight and maybe I'll stop by shine on my way home...
But I have a Mt day tomorrow, so I have to get up early and I can't let my concentration slip. Four months and I'm still here but fortunately the four months was full of incredibility.
