Countdown has begun...

I leave for New Mexico in 30 days! Im ready to go in the emotional sense but havent packed or planned much at all. I will get on that soon.

Today has been a rainy, cloudy, dreary day.. and I have been loving it. Apparently we are getting the 'outer bands' of the 'dirty side' of Alex. The picture to the right was taken on 69th St. while I was watching the waves roll in. I stopped to watch the pelicans but of course as they flew off as soon as I sat down. It was still pretty awesome out there. Like I said before Im trying to soak up as much of this water as I can before I move to the desert. Im glad I got to see a good storm before I left and it has been a nice reprieve from the heat.

Downside of rain: while trying to hurry out of it last night I skipped the last step on the stairs and busted it. Usually it wouldnt be that big of a deal.. bruises, sore knee, etc. but some how I managed to pull my upper right quad and it hurt/s! Was hoping to get to yoga tonight but dont think Im going to make it. Gonna let my muscle relax a little.. plus I dont want to tell fellow yoga followers how I hurt my thigh.


Had a good night last night with some friends that I havent got to spend much time with lately. It seems we all are moving on to exciting things in the upcoming months. Talk of leaving the island for school and WWOOFing and other opportunities. Then it was on to open mic night at Old Quarter for cheap beers and good live music. (Where the picture to the left was taken.) Note: All this was before I fell. Hoping to spend as much time with these lovely people that I can before we all go our seperate ways.

So ready!..
