Getting Caught Up
It's Purple Door week already. Last night was the first night in a while that I took a few moments out to write in my journal, read and reflect. The summer has had it's way with me. I've had some really great experiences...all have also been emotional because of all the changes going on in my life and the lives of my friends. Right now I'm in the space between wanting the Fall to be here and wanting to relish every moment before then. It will be good to "settle down" a bit. Although, I don't think I ever REALLY do.
This week is Purple Door festival. Then it's full speed ahead to Karen's wedding September 10th. The following week Ann and I go on the Music Boat Cruise and then I go home to Vt the first week in October. When I come home from Vt, I have the u2 concert on the 16th. I'm trying to take some deep breaths between events. Creation West was so amazing. The flight in was spectacular, getting to see Seattle, the drive to The Gorge, and then getting to work at the festival...I loved it all. It was hot and exhausting, though. On the way home, one of our flights were cancelled, so we ended up having to rent cars to drive from DC home after flying a red eye. That was frustrating...but it all worked out. Then that same day, I moved into my new apartment.
Did I mention I love my new apartment, yet? It's great. I love the location...I can walk just about anywhere I want to go. I worked at Lancaster Fest on Saturday and it was a mere few blocks away. After being out in the scorching heat, I went to Pho Thon Thuy with Phil for dinner. He had been recommending it to me forever, and now that I live close by...I finally took him up on it. WOW. I may become a regular there. I can't wait to bring all my friends.
Things are working out fabulously with my new roommate. We're both on the go, so we don't get to spend a ton of time together, but when we do, it's great. We have some of the same tastes, although I am a little sloppier than her. I am really trying to keep that in check. : ) The one thing I miss from the complex is central air. I have been melting into a puddle with all this ridiculous heat we've been having.
Health stuff has been a little weird. Everything is still overall a huge improvement. I have just had to take some extra measures to make my body cooperate. With all the traveling and running I've been doing, I have to be careful not to jeapordize that.
Thats the lump summary. Hopefully I'll be able to start writing more regularly again. To everyone I haven't seen in a while...I'm looking forward to catching up to you soon.

I"m glad to hear that things are going well. I've missed your voice on the blogs.
