On the Road Again!

Hey Everyone,

Did you miss me? Sorry I've been out of touch recently, but I've been feeling kind of down and didn't want to spread my whining around the world. Honestly, I was in pretty dire straits, coming home from work to sit on the couch and sob myself to sleep by 7pm most nights. I'm still hurting pretty bad, being bored, lonely, and desperately in need of a hug, but I'm starting to feel a little better, starting to settle in and create some routines. And I've (mostly) stopped crying myself to sleep at night ☺ I'm still hunting for housing, but thankfully, that's a little easier now that I've got my car back on the road. For those of you who missed my sob story (one of many), I bought a car (1988 Mercedes, Dad is SOOO jealous) that stopped working within 3 days. Just my luck! But with a little help from a new battery and a very kind neighbor, I'm back to cruising in style! It still feels weird for me to be driving, but I'm getting better, and I haven't killed or maimed any pedestrians yet, so that's a plus.

I'm also on the road again on my own two feet. I had gotten really lazy about my running the month before I left, and I've been struggling to get back into a routine, but I made it out for a couple good runs this weekend, and I'm feeling good about it. We're just at the start of winter here, and it's already dark by 6pm, so it's hard for me to get out on weekdays, but I'm trying to fit in short runs wherever I can. I've even started to think about getting up early to run in the morning. Hey, stranger things have happened.

I'm leaving the office in a bit to go look at what looks on paper like the perfect apartment, so hopefully I'll be permanently settled soon. Ciao for now,

Susan
