Woops - long time absence, but I'm going to try harder to do this more often!
Yesterday:
Opening my eyes to the new day I received a text from a friend and a call from another, both of whom I got to hang out with most of the day.
My yoga/climbing buddy arrived and we had a casual yoga session with intermittent giggles between every transition. It felt liberating having a thorough stretch straight from getting out of bed.
We both then headed to meet with our jolly pal to help him find some artwork for his man cave. Our gal pal's keen eye selected a set of several pieces of landscapes.
Our success led us to the local board game cafe where we played a round of Takenoko, and then Tom and I played Lords of Waterdeep.
Today:
An old friend of mine and I got to grab a hot chocolate and a mocha while sharing a scrumptious lemon bar. Then bought a little tutu for another friends new born daughter.
We returned to my parents' place and walked to the beach to chat about places we would love to travel if we had the choice to see anything.
Later I was able to visit an old neighbour who shared some knitting-know-how and donated some yarn, needles and awesome knitting bag for my use!
She, her husband and I chatted about environmental and political intertwinedness. I felt elated that I could talk to people who shared similar feelings and helped me figure out what I can do to find a job.
The past two days felt great visiting with people I enjoy and have missed spending time with. Having your significant other be half way around the world is not always a bad thing! More me time and I don't feel guilty about spending long periods of time away from home.
