what’s a girl gotta do to catch up on some sleep? here’s a list of what doesn’t work:
- going to austin two weekends in a row (though seeing friends and doing a triathlon were immensely worthwhile)
- going to new york and boston in a whirlwind (though seeing lots of baseball was awesome)
- having low-level, non-motivation-inspiring tasks to do at work
- hosting a friend on his quick trip through town (though i love having friends sleeping on my couch)
- having two family members come to town (though it is always great to see family)
- trying to give my brother a good tour and being foiled by security guards with bad attitudes
- trying to buy a sailboat only to find that the seller is yanking our chains
- running a 5k in the heat with no water after two weeks without exercise (and realizing i’m going to die in the peachtree on friday)
- going to atlanta two days after they leave (though the peachtree will, well, an experience, and seeing friends should be relaxing)
- finding the perfect place to move, but realizing it will probably already be rented by the time we need it
it sounds like an old friend might be in town (atlanta) this weekend while i’m there, and i hope i get to see them. it’s funny how friendships can pivot on a single brief period in time. next thing you know the relationship has changed, and you don’t know how to go back, so you don’t really try, and next thing you know you’ve lost touch and only know how a person is doing through heresay.
i’m just so tired. and i think i want to run away to new zealand. or somewhere else semi-exotic. and open up a little store and just live there.
anyway, i am really disenchanted with houston lately and am having trouble figuring out what to do about it. could you tell?
