after driving cross country with a bad case of bronchitis, being put on steroids that actually made me lose my mind and have a 48 hour panic attack, and settling into a place i've never even been...
i am alive
and doing quite well
except i really miss my mom, will you come move here please?
they say to give a new place a year before you decide if you like it or not. we've been here a month and things are growing on me yet at the same time i am feeling my california roots tugging at me more often than i imagined they would. i love the true autumn that the midwest has to offer. i stop at every gold tree and take pictures like some crazy tourist at the Eiffel tower. people stare, it's funny. we are living downtown and can see the st louis arch out our window. i am getting to know my way around downtown and can walk to the grocery store, library, starbucks and several restaurants. i get lost everyday, it's the only way i learn how to find my way...eventually.
