boing, boing, boing! i made it. mountains, little streets, the prana store, the vibe.
i forget how essential it is to get out of town. i’m all to me, “oh, hello you, what’s new?” and i have a zillion stories to tell until she’s like “shhh, let’s go play, it’s awesome here.”
i am grateful for/that:
1) [redacted: i was really tired]
2) cannelloni and gelato. really. and so so so good. the gelato came from a place that says they have “slow coffee” in the window, winging around every trendy food word there is and i am a sucka.
3) that obsession seems make a little less sense out here, and therefore has less brainhold
4) mountains
5) really big mountains
6) the prana store
7) borrowing two hours for a week
8) the yoga boy with the pretty blue eyes who was told to press on my sacrum. partner work is much less annoying when you think they’re hot. ommmm
9) realizing i haven’t had a crying session lately that’s like a car wash. when you feel all flushed out and good tired after, released. i need one, can feel it coming, if i’m still capable.
10) diane vadino’s novel which i finally read today and really loved–“smart girls like me.” some great writing in there. made me laugh and cry on a turbulent plane. a skewering of this place diane and i used to work together. there wasn’t a valerie character, but I think i actually got lumped in with the editors who don’t care about grammar. oh well. it was fun to see the shredding of the bosses and imagining they were my real old bosses, just some of them.
11) gigantic soaking tubs in gorgeous slate bathrooms. luxe heals.
